Anne FrankWiki (1929 – 1945) was a young Jewish girl who wrote a diary recounting her short life living in
NaziWiki occupied Holland during WW2. Anne Frank was born of Jewish parents in Germany and into a terrible time period in history. By the time she was thirteen years old she was living in hiding with her family in fear of their lives and of those who chose to aid them. For two years her family lived in hiding until they were betrayed and sent to
concentration campsWiki.
Having just turned fifteen Anne Frank was spared the gas chamber, she believed her father dead after they were separated, her mother died of starvation and she and her sister would both died of disease before they had even lived. Her father survived and it was through him that the world would be allowed to share the harrowing story of this remarkable young person.
In war terrible things happen. People can do horrible things to other people. Once a war begins it can go on for a long time and many people can be killed. We should do all we can to live in peace with one another. No-one wins in a war.
