Answer:
Explanation:
WHO: Anne Frank, German-born Dutch-Jewish girls, and a diarist, one of the most famous victims of the Holocaust.
WHAT: Anne Frank and her family were hiding in the concluded rooms in the building where Otto Frank, Anne's father worked. They had lived there from July 1942. until their arrest in August 1944. For the whole duration of their hiding, Anne kept the diary, tracking the events, thoughts, and fears. After being imprisoned, Anne (and here sister Margot) were imprisoned, first in Auschwitz concentration camp, and then Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where they died in February or March of 1945. Her father as the sole family survivor found the diary after the war and published it in 1947.
WHERE: Hiding in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and the imprisonment and death in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, in Lower Saxony, Germany.
WHEN: It was happening during World War II. Franks was in hiding from 1942. to 1944, so two years and one month.
WHY: Nazi Germany had the plan of the so-called "Final solution to the Jewish question", which meant the genocide of the Jews that they saw as lesser humans and the enemy of the Aryan purity. This process and genocide are known today as the Holocaust. It as performed by imprisoning mainly Jewish population (along with Roma people, some Slavs, gay and lesbian people, communists, etc.) in concentration camps where they were later murdered.
WHY: It is important because six million Jews lost their lives, meaning around two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe. Anne's case is specifically important because it portrays the human perspective of the victims, the fear of the children and the inhuman conditions in which Jewish people had to live during all of this. As Nazis tried to keep this hidden and most of the victims lost their lives, this is one of the main resources we have today about the Holocaust and life during it. Holocaust remains one of the biggest genocides in the history of humanity and the diary of Anne Frank tells the personal story of those who had to live through it.
What was the barrier: The barrier was put between Jews and the outer world; victims of the Holocaust were either forced to hide or were imprisoned in the concentration camps, with no connection to the world. Nazis tried to keep everything hidden, so the world outside wouldn't know what is happening during the hunt on these people. Anne managed to posthumously break the barrier they made, making her voice heard even in death, representing millions of Jewish voices in the process.
How did things change? After the Holocaust and World War II, things changed by education about the Holocaust. In this, Anne Frank's diary played an important role as it was one of the main examples of the suffering Jewish people had to go through. It was and is read today by millions of children to learn about the horrors that hatred, prejudice, and inhuman behavior can lead to.
Put it all together into a thesis statement.
During the Holocaust, young girl Anne Frank was forced to hide with her family in the c in Amsterdam. During her hiding period of two years, she wrote the diary, noting her thoughts, wishes, and fears. She and her family were found in August of 1944, and she died at the beginning of the next year in the concentration camp. After the war, her father Otto found the diary and published it. The diary of Anne Frank is read by millions around the world today and serves as an important reminder of the horrors of war and suffering.
