Was Anne Frank a virgin

Answer 1

There is no evidence whatsoever that Anne Frank was bisexual, or was even familiar with the concept. Her lifelong fascination with boys, and her genuine - if short lived - love for Peter strongly imply her normal heterosexuality.

Answer 2

It is inappropriate and disrespectful to speculate or comment on Anne Frank's personal life in this manner. Anne Frank was a teenage girl who tragically died in the Holocaust, and her story should be remembered with empathy and respect.

Answer 3

No, there is no evidence of it. She was very young when she went into hiding, and during that time, she experienced a wide range of feelings, which she wrote about in her diary. She had at least one crush on a boy, and she also wondered about what it would feel like to touch someone's breasts, but none of this proves anything about her sexuality.

Answer 4

Almost certainly, yes. While Anne was very much a romantic, she was outright prudish about her person, and it can be safely assumed she and Peter never experimented beyond kissing, based on her diary (the only source that she was completely honest with). There is no record of wanton rapes at Westerbork, where she was still - generally - under the watch of her parents, or the other workers, mostly older women. At Auschwitz/Birkenau, she was in the woman's camp which had overwhelmingly women guards. None of the survivors of Aushwitz who knew Anne there reported any incidence of rape of prisoners (not to say that didn't happen sometimes - maybe it did), but the prisoners were filthy, diseased, covered with scabies, and above all else "Jewish garbage". Very attractive older teens and women in their twenties were separated at selection, and sometimes offered posh jobs in the camp in exchange for sexual favors for the officer staff. If they refused, they went to the work camp or the gas chamber. The ones who accepted were used until their masters tired of them and then they were sent to work camp or the gas chambers. At Belsen the prisoners - now all diseased, emaciated and filthy, were largely ignored by the camp management by the time Anne and Margot died there. We can never know for sure, but the odds are very good Anne Frank died a virgin.

Answer 5

She explicitly writes about her attraction for women. For example, the 6thof January 1944 Tuesday (but it is censored in some versions), she speaks about her best friend Jacqueline van Maarsen : “I already had these kinds of feelings subconsciously before I came here. I remember that once when I spend the night with a girl friend I had a strong desire to kiss her, and that I did do so. I could not help being terribly inquisitive over her body, for she had always kept it hidden from me. I asked her whether, as a proof of our friendship, we should feel one another’s breasts, but she refused. I go into ecstasies every time I see the naked figure of a woman, such as Venus, for example. It strikes me as so wonderful and exquisite that I have difficulty in stopping the tears rolling down my cheeks. If only I had a girl friend !” She also speaks about men (even if less explicitly) in her diary so you could call her bisexual rather than gay.

Answer 6

Yes, her father radically altered the text and expunged the sexual content. The unabridged, uncensored version of her diary reveals that she wrote a great deal about her lesbian fantasies.

Answer 7

Anne was ethnically German/Jewish, yes, though she herself did not actively profess Judaism - she, like her father, was a Humanist.

Answer 8

There is absolutely no information or records to form an opinion on that.

Answer 9

Based on her diary, yes, she did. She was spending the night at one of her "girl friend's" houses and felt an immense urge to kiss her, and did so.

Answer 10

Anne Frank was a girl.
