Germany in WW2

Anne Frank received a diary for her birthday because she wanted a place to confide her thoughts and keep herself occupied during her time in hiding from the Nazis. Writing in her diary provided her with a sense of comfort and allowed her to express herself freely.

There was an illegal entry in early 1943 (nothing taken), then a burglary on July 15th, 1943, and another on February 29, 1944 . Both of these were quite professional - those in the annex did not know it until after the fact. Lastly, there was a break in on April 9, 1944 by a ten-year-old boy from the neighborhood named Hans Wijnberg. He also took nothing, but the commotion he created scared the people in the annex badly, and they spent a long, terrifying night until help came the next morning.

Mr. Dussel's behavior increases the conflict in Act 2 by constantly criticizing the other inhabitants of the Secret Annex and causing tension with his demanding and often selfish personality. His clashes with Anne and Mrs. Van Daan exacerbate the already stressful living situation, leading to additional conflicts and strain within the group.

He uses his legs and walks to it then uses his arms to grab it.

Anne Frank and her family were captured by the Gestapo (German secret police) after a tip from a Dutch informant - most likely a worker in the warehouse in the downstairs portion of the building Anne and her family were hiding in.

Anne Frank attended the Sixth Montessori School in Amsterdam before her family went into hiding during World War II.

In 1939 most German Jews were forced to relocate to designated Jewish apartment blocks with a huge J over all entrances. Most young, able-bodied Jews were sent to labour camps. When the Nazis seized Poland the Jews were forced to live in ghettos, where the conditions were atrocious.

The Lodz Ghetto was established by the Nazis as a way to concentrate and control the Jewish population in occupied Poland. The primary purpose of the ghetto was to exploit the Jewish residents for their labor and extract resources from them, all while isolating them from the general population. It served as a precursor to the mass deportations to extermination camps.

Hiding from the Nazis was a constant struggle for survival, characterized by fear, stress, and uncertainty. Those in hiding had to be constantly vigilant, often living in cramped quarters with limited resources and enduring psychological strain. The risk of being discovered was ever-present, leading to a harrowing and perilous existence.

During Anne Frank's time in hiding, the morale of Dutch citizens was low due to German occupation, food shortages, and restrictions on daily life. There was fear, uncertainty and a sense of oppression among the population.

Anne Frank's full name was Anneliese Marie Frank. Her older sister's name was Margot Frank. Edith and Otto Frank were her parents.

The German soldiers found Anne in the secret annex, where she and some other Jews, and her family were hiding.

The Franks were taken care of by the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled over the Frankish kingdom from the 5th to the 8th century. The Merovingian kings were responsible for governing the Franks and ensuring the stability and well-being of their realm.

A fountain pen.

"My fountain pen was always one of my most prized possessions...But that evening, when my fountain pen still hadn't turned up, we all assumed it had been burned, especially because celluloid is highly inflammable. Our darkest fears were con firmed the next day when Father went to empty the stove and discovered the clip, used to fasten it to a pocket, among the ashes"

Anne Frank's motto was "Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."

The question was, at the time: Was this person religious, homosexual, racially and sexually different, mentally and phyically handicapped, an Aryan, etc.? As long as the "blue-eyed blond" was anything BUT a pure ARYAN, then they were sent to concentration camps.

John Peter likely died from natural causes, as no specific information is provided. Causes of natural death can include illnesses, old age, or medical conditions.

He died in May of 1945 after a death match, 3 days before the camp was liberated. Peter was marched out of Auschwitz with other prisoners as the Russians approached in late January of 1945 (Otto Frank, too sick to travel, was "abandoned" there - and it saved his life).

Anne Frank lived in Germany until the age of 4. Her family then fled because of the rise of the Nazi Party.

The question was basically concerning ships of Jewish refugess in WW2. A very real and important topic. Not what it has now become. There are several stories of different ships containing Jewish refugess from the Nazi's before, during and after the war. Some very famous ones include the well documented tribulations of several that were refused to land in the US, basically because the US didn't really want Jews either. Most of these people went on to die as they could find no safe harbor. Another, after the war, on a ship called Exodus could not land it's cargo of already displaced holocaust people in what was then Palestine (now Isreal), with similar results. There are several movies about several of these vessels, or more rightfully, the journey of their passengers. 1939 - After cruising by Miami Beach, rejected by U.S. and Cuban authorities, the St. Louis returned to Europe, where four countries -- Belgium, France, Netherlands and Britain -- agreed to take the refugees. When war swept the continent a few months later, almost half would eventually die in death camps and detention centers. Search for other examples will develop another famous incident a few years later, where US landing was refused, although some infants were allowed to be disboarded. The ship was then sent back out to sea, where a Nazi U-Boat was known to be on patrol. The sinking took the lives of all aboard.

The years preceding the Holocaust were marked by increasing antisemitism, discrimination, and violence against Jewish people in Europe. This period saw the rise of the Nazi party in Germany, which promoted anti-Jewish policies and propaganda. Jews faced persecution, forced segregation, and restrictions on their rights and freedoms, setting the stage for the atrocities of the Holocaust.

The Holocaust occurred during World War II, starting in 1941 and lasting until 1945.

The gas chambers were mostly large rooms, holding numerous people at once...The victims were forced to undress, men, women and child alike, and given the impression that they would be taking a shower to clean off after the long train ride to the "camp" (the Nazi's called it a "work camp"). There were no windows, just overhead showers in multitude. Once inside, instead of water coming out of the showerhead, a gas would be released, killing all those inside.

Initially, Carbon Monoxide (Exhaust Gas) was used, than later on, experiments were conducted with Hydrogen Cyanide (Called Zyclon B).

Carbon Monoxide was first used in the 1930's by the Nazis in their "Euthanasia Program" - to kill those people who were mentally and/or physically handicapped, as they did not believe that those whom were impaired had a right to live and cost the "state" money. It was less expensive to kill them than to house and treat the ill.

The Nazis first experiment with Zyclon B gas were done at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp in early 1940, and it was performed on 250 Gypsy children. The first test of Zyclon B gas at Auschwitz, was done on September 3, 1941, and 600 Soviet POW's were used as the guinea pigs.

The Nazis had gas chambers in mobile vans, and in some of the Concentration Camps (Extermination Camps) there were gas chambers large enough to hold and kill upwards of 2500 people at a time; it has been reported in a journal entry that there were claw and bite marks on people and walls, from those trying to keep away from the gas, clawing and biting one another in pain and horror.

Nobody is truly able to say what is was like in the "Gas Chamber" there, as not a single person whom entered it survived; however, you may try to imagine being forced to strip down with people you both know and love, and, complete strangers; having to remove everything, including wedding bands, watches, etc...Than being led to a large dark room, on the way meeting up with others from the opposite sex who were made to also remove all articles on themselves; forced as a herd of cattle with very young, crying children; the elderly - listening to them wail and pray to G-d for help; and those in-between, begging for the door to be opened - than the hissing of the gas is heard followed by the screams of those inside, and than the mad rush of those strong enough to try to force themselves on top of you, and/or others so that they may live a few seconds more.

When you see photographs or old newsreels of the people being liberated from the Death Camps, many seem very old...This is a testament to the difficulties they endured, as all those over the age of 45 were put to death. So the woman whom may look like your 85 year old Grandmother, is not a day over 45 at most. The man who may look like a 75 year old, may only be 30. The cruelty is something to both think about and remember, so that nothing like this happens again to anyone, anywhere.

Gas Chambers were seen as the quickest, most efficient way of exterminating the Jews in Nazi Germany, But I am certain that 20 minutes of gassing was cruel

A Nazi soldier was a member of the armed forces under the control of Nazi Germany during World War II. They were responsible for carrying out the military objectives of the Nazi regime, which often involved acts of aggression and violence.
