On her thirteenth birthday, Anne Frank received a diary and began documenting from that moment on. Less than one month after she received the diary, Anne and her family were suddenly forced into hiding. Her sister, Margot, had been “called up” by the Gestapo. The Franks were reasonably prepared, since they had been sending furniture and supplies to a secret annex in Anne’s father, Otto’s, office building in anticipation of the Gestapo. The Franks and another family, the van Daans, had arranged to share the annex while some of Otto’s non-Jewish colleagues agreed
We are going to discuss Anne’s diary, Anne’s passion for writing, the value of her diary, Anne as a writer, and why her diary is so popular. At age 13, Anne Frank received her diary for her birthday during the time of the Holocaust. Anne was very young to be experiencing such a tragic event, but she found ways to cope with it. One of these ways Anne coped with the event was to write. She wrote about every event that occurred during her time in the Secret Annex with 8 other occupants.

Born on May 15, 1937, in Prague, Czechoslovakia, Madeleine Albright was the second daughter of Jose and Anna Korbel. She had a brother, John and sister, Katherine. Nazi occupation made her family flee to England, although they returned to postwar Czechoslovakia in 1945, only to find their home country being submerged into Soviet Empire. A major portion of her life was spent in the belief that her family fled for political reasons, but it was only until 1997 that she came to know the truth that her family was Jewish and that three of her grandparents were victims of the holocaust.
The classic book Diary Of a Young Girl is the haunting diary of Jewish teen Anne Frank, who hid from the Nazis for two years and whose promising talent was cut short by her death after she was captured by the Nazis in 1945 at the age of only fifteen. During her two years in the secret annex in which she hid with her family and another Jewish family, Anne changed and matured physically, psychologically, and emotionally from a friendly, but somewhat shallow child into a philosophical, mature young woman. Her changing thoughts and inner feelings reflect this change, propelling her into adulthood. Her diary is a window into her soul. Over the course of her two years in hiding, the “outer” and “inner” Anne, which were once one and the same, intertwine and differentiate until she forms a stoic outer shell to keep her increasingly dark, conflicted and self-aware thoughts secret.

In the story the family the Guizacs closely resembles this real life family of European refugees; however they were certainly not unique in their situation.
