Some Jews hid from fear. They hid willingly. Japanese face the same fear. The Jews and Japanese could not avoid the inevitable fate that came. Two people, two races, two experiences, two results. Each on the opposite side of the world. Jeanne Wakatsuki, a 7 year old girl is sent to an internment camp with her family, one of several hastily-made and dilapidated camps provided by the U.S. Government in response to World War II to prevent any spying by the Japanese Imperials. Anne Frank, a 13 year old Jewish girl goes into hiding with her family and some others to avoid capture by the Nazis and being sent to one of many concentration camps during World War II. These two girls provide perspectives of two entirely different situations in the dark

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    On June 12, 1929, at 7:30 AM, a baby girl was born in Frankfort, Germany. No one realized that this infant, who was Jewish, was destined to become one of the worlds most famous victims of World War II. Her name was Anne Frank. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank and B.M. Mooyaart, was actually the real diary of Anne Frank. Anne was a girl who lived with her family during the time while the Nazis took power over Germany. Because they were Jewish, Otto, Edith, Margot, and Anne Frank immigrated to Holland in 1933. Hitler invaded Holland on May 10, 1940, a month before Anne?s eleventh birthday. In July 1942, Anne's family went into hiding in the Prinsengracht building. Anne and her family called it the 'Secret Annex'. Life there was not easy at all. They had to wake up at 6:45 every morning. Nobody could go outside, nor turn on lights at night. Anne mostly spent her time reading books, writing stories, and of course, making daily entries in her diary. She only kept her diary while hiding from the Nazis. This diary told the story of the excitement and horror in this young girl's life during the Holocaust. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl reveals the life of a young innocent girl who is forced into hiding from the Nazis because of her religion, Judaism. This book is very informing and enlightening. It introduces a time period of discrimination, unfair judgment, and power-crazed individuals, and with this, it shows the effect on the defenseless.
