Question

Eleanor Roosevelt said that Anne Frank's story made her "intimately and shockingly aware of war's greatest evil—the degradation of the human spirit. At the same time, Anne's diary makes clear the ultimate shining nobility of that spirit." In two paragraphs (three to five sentences per paragraph), explain how Anne Frank's story shows the misery and indignity that war causes, but also the goodness of the human spirit.

Answer 1

Answer:

Anne Frank is a story that shows how cruel a person can truly be. It shows the evil that was preformed by the Hitler was towards Jewish people, even a little girl like Anne was taught she was less than Germans because of her heritage. She knew and had to live with how awful other Jewish people, even people she knew, were treated. How they were killed and abused, though that may be an understatement. Though her story shows the of cruelty, it also shows how good and generous a person can be. Miep Gies put her own safety on the line to help protect not only the Frank family, but also the Van Pel family and Fritz Pfeffer. She kept them safe as best as she could for as long as she could. Even in a time where most people would turn their backs on people in need and only think about themselves. Not only that, but Anne and her famil remained good and loving people which seems almost impossible given the circumstances they were living in. On two very different sides of the spectrum, a person can be truly evil and vile. On the other end, a person can be good and loving and generous.
