Anne Frank

He was a victim of the Holocaust committed by Nazi Germany during World War II and the author of Anne's Diary , which captures the daily lives of Jews during the war. Anne Frank is evaluated as a symbolic figure representing the dark Holocaust era . In addition, his masterpiece, Anne's Diary, became a classic read by many people around the world , and was recognized as a historical record and registered on the Memory of the World Register .

In 1929, Anne was born in Frankfurt , a commercial city in Germany , and was born as a two -daughter among the wealthy Jewish businessman Otto Frank and her mother Edith Frank . Mother Edit is a reformist Judaism (progressive Jewish), so Anne himself naturally grew up as a reformed Jewish believer. When the German Jewish persecution became severe under the Nazi, the Frank family in 1933 was the Netherlands next to the neutral nation. He has been immigrated to Amsterdam , and has since grown up in the Netherlands. Although the Netherlands is neutral and Adolf Hitler , who is neutral, will never touch the Netherlands, he has gone to the Netherlands, but in fact, the Nazi Germany has made it under the process of expanding allies or occupation throughout Europe , which is why the Frank family, the United States , the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom , Australia, Australia , It was a situation that could not fly to New Zealand and South America, and regretted not going there, but it was already a bus. After that, Annesa was later avoided by the Holocaust, and assumed that the Nazi Germany was countered by the Allied forces in the war and the withdrawal or defeat in the Netherlands, and from 1942 to 1944, another Jewish family, Van Pels, in the hideout of Amsterdam.[10] Family and Jewish dentist Fritz PFEFFER[11] I hid with it. The place I used as a hideout was OPEKTA, a company where Anne's father worked.[12] It was a building, and it was perfect for hideout because there were many rooms except warehouses and other business spaces.[13]

Anne's diary was written over a period of approximately two years and two months , from June 1942, when Anne received the diary as a 13th birthday present, to August 1944, when her hiding place was discovered by the Gestapo and everyone was taken to a concentration camp. The original diary is on display at the Anne Frank House Museum. Some people who have never read the book may mistakenly think that Anne wrote her diary while she was in hiding, but in fact, she started writing it right after receiving the diary as a birthday present about two months before she went into hiding. Anne loves books, and the books she read at the age of 14 were ‘ Greek and Roman Mythology ’ and ‘ A Tale of Two Cities ’. I wasn't very good at math , to the point where I barely avoided repeating a grade, but in complete contrast to math, my language scores were always perfect. He went so far as to present his writing in front of the entire class. The reason why the writing and writing style were so fluent was because of extensive reading.

It is true that Anne liked reading and writing, but she was so famous for her 'diary' that contrary to the image that she was an introverted literary girl , when she went to school before going into hiding, she studied well except for math and was popular, so she always had friends. was surrounded by She was so popular and popular that it was difficult for people around her to approach her . There were many men who liked Anne, and Anne herself called them ‘followers.’ Before Anne takes refuge in a hiding place, her diary often contains stories of her having flirtations with boys. Even when I got close to a really tall, handsome, and shy boy, I had a sharp side that differentiated between the boys I liked and the guys I would get along with moderately well. However, I was conservative because I had an open view of relationships, thinking, "Why not have multiple boyfriends?" It was always in conflict with In Edit.[14] He spends his time in hiding at a time when he is at the peak of his sensitivity, and grows as he experiences the hardships of his own situation and growth.

At the company that was used as a hideout, there were employees who did not know that eight Jews were hiding there, and because it was a place where customers often came, it was difficult to have a proper conversation or enjoy light daily life during the day for fear of being heard by other people. ,[15] The space was small, so several people had to share a room. The longer they stayed in hiding, the more supplies they had, forcing them to wear small underwear, not being able to have their own belongings, and maintaining cleanliness became more difficult. If daily necessities ran out, all my father would do was go out in the middle of the night and secretly buy them from the black market . It was a stuffy environment that would be difficult for anyone to endure, so it must have been especially difficult and unfamiliar for Anne, who grew up in a wealthy family that was rare at the time and went on vacation abroad. Anne complained about the fairly poor conditions of her shelter, but compared to the people who were taken to her camp, she said:[16] She also shows a mature side by enduring it, saying it is like heaven.

In the latter part of the diary, he seriously pondered what it was like to live as a woman and what it was like to talk about sex without hesitation . Showed interest. She insightfully said, "Adults shouldn't just keep talking about sex to their kids. That way, they'll end up with incorrect information among themselves. Sex education needs to be done not only for sons, but also for daughters . " Perhaps that is why, when Anne Frank's father published her daughter's diary, it was later criticized for leaving out some parts that generally did not fit him, such as talking about sex.

He did not have a very good relationship with his mother Edith. So much so that, she wrote, "she can imagine her mother dying, but she cannot imagine her father dying."[17] Edith did not even feel affection for her mother as a family member because Margot scolded Anne for her wrongdoings. Of course, one of the reasons may have been that Edith's conservative nature brought her into conflict with her progressive Anne. The fact that her parents and other adults favored her quiet and studious older sister Margo over the cheerful and talkative Anne also had a significant influence. She stopped short of giving Margot her attention when she did something wrong, whereas when Anne did something wrong, her whole family came out and scolded her. Even though it is Margot's fault, she misunderstands that it was Anne's fault and scolds her, and there are several scenes in the diary where Margot is embarrassed. A famous line from Anne's diary that came out because of these edits is, "I don't need a mother like a friend, I need a mother like my mother." am. However, she later becomes disappointed with her father and reflects a little on her intense hatred for her mother.[18]

If you read the diary, Anne's personality can be largely divided into the end of 1942, 1943, and 1944. Before moving into hiding at the end of 1942, he was very active and always happy, but he felt empty. However, at the end of 1942, as he moved to a hiding place, he could not adapt at first and went back and forth between despair and hope. In 1944, it shows a lot of deep thoughts, such as the grown-up aspect of looking back and reflecting on one's own appearance before the war in 1942, the life of a woman, why the war happens, and why people can't get along with each other.[19]

I wrote several times in my diary that I loved history . He was also immersed in Greek and Roman mythology , memorizing the names of the nine Muses , and reciting the names of Greek mythological heroes such as Hercules , Perseus , Odysseus , and Menelaus .[20] As soon as he discovered the genealogical charts of European royal families in newspapers or books, he wrote them down on paper and memorized them.[21]

Later on August 4, 1944[22] Someone's push is discovered by Gestapo[23] I was scattered with my family and was taken to the Auschwitz extinction camp , but[24] According to the testimony of the people who were with Anne at the time, they never let go of hope even in desperate situations. Anne, who was a girl's body, was very hard to endure her labor, but fortunately one of Auschwitz's doctors was Otto Frank's friend, so she did not have a relatively harsh life in Auschwitz, including her sister and exempt from labor. Shortly afterwards, however, his wife, Margo and Anne Set were selected as three healthy women in the camp and were taken to the Bergen-Belzen camp. This camps were so poor.[25] Mother Edit, who was left alone after the sister of Anne left, was already weak in her ear, causing a mental confusion, and she died after she had been in bed, and she had fallen out of bed . Others were worried that Anne would be shocked and tried to make a deliberately trying to blame Margo's death, but in the end, Anne, who came to know that, was definitely despaired that his parents had already died.[26][27] In February -March 1945, Anne also died on the day after her sister died.

About a month later, on April 15, 1945, the British liberated the Bergen-Belgen camp and rescued all the handwrites. Until this time, about 60,000 survivors were rescued. However, at the time of liberation, the situation of the number of the number of the soldiers was so serious, and under the guidance of the Brigadier Brigadier , the British had made all kinds of efforts to save them . The fact that Anne could survive with a high probability if he lasted up to two months in the camps creates the regret of readers and many historical witnesses. The major officials of the Bergen-Belgen camps, including the abuse of Anne and Margo, abused many prisoners, and the head of Nemon Joseph Kramer and Fritz Klein Camps, were all arrested by the British troops, and many of them disappeared as a criminal destination for sin. English Wiki's explanation for the Belzen war criminal trial .

Anne's diary tells the story of Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who was a friend of the Frank family and helped them live in hiding.[28] kept it, and when Anne's father, Otto Frank, who survived alone among the refugee Jews, returned to the Netherlands, he passed it on to him and was able to publish it as a book in 1947.

Anne once wrote in her diary that 'paper endures better than humans'. True to her words, Anne died a pitiful death at the young age of 15 in a concentration camp, but her diary has become a steady seller around the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site . It was added to the Memory of the World Register and left its name forever.



The above video, which once became a hot topic on YouTube, was filmed in the Netherlands on July 22, 1941, and shows 12-year-old Anne sticking her face out onto the balcony for a few seconds and looking at the bride and groom who were getting married that day.

The exact whereabouts of Anne and Margot's bodies are unknown. After liberating the Bergen-Belsen camp, the British army recovered the bodies left in the camp and buried them collectively. It is presumed that the bodies of the two sisters were also buried at this time.

Anne's dream was to be a writer or journalist. 'I want to give hope to people I don't even know. There is a phrase that says, ‘I want to be remembered forever even after I die.’ As you can see, this really came true. According to the recollections of Miep Heath, who played a crucial role in spreading Anne's diary, Miep happened to see Anne writing. When Anne was embarrassed and hid the writing, Anne's mother Edith said to Miep, "You see, my daughter. “She is a writer,” he said, adding that he was very proud of his daughter’s talent.

In fact, Anne's writing skills were very outstanding. Anne's Diary , which can be said to be a representative work, has value beyond simply being a diary written by a young teenager during a war situation. The difficulties and fears experienced during Jewish persecution, war, and life in hiding, as well as the small joys that can be felt therein are described in detail in a realistic manner, and rich content such as Anne's own thoughts and growth process is recorded. The authenticity of the diary was controversial because the quality of the sentences was higher than Anne's age or lack of schooling.[29] , the original was known, and through expert handwriting analysis, it was concluded that it was indeed Anne's handwriting. Someone even commented that a girl who could have become an outstanding writer in the future and left behind many more works was unfortunately sacrificed in the Nazi genocide. However, after Anne's diary was published as a book and became famous around the world, Anne's wish of 'my wish to live forever even after death' was truly fulfilled. After the fall of Nazi Germany, the settlement of Germany's past history was actively carried out, and Anne Frank herself was able to be remembered by modern Germans as an 'unfortunate genius writer produced by Germany', so it can be said that her wish has come true. Thanks to this, Anne Frank's collateral descendants are currently treated well by German society.

Anne was writing two or three novels.[30] Even while living in her hiding place, she occasionally wrote her fairy tales and told them to her family members in her hiding place, and they said that they also enjoyed listening to Anne's fairy tales.
