Diary Entries from Anne Frank
Anne Frank
12th June 1942
‘I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as i have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.’
14th June 1942
I’m going to go back to the day I got you…my birthday! To start I’m going to tell you a little bit about myself, I guess I’m just an ordinary girl, with an ordinary family. I’m 13 years old now; I was born on the 12 June 1929, and I guess I do have a great family, living in a great home. I could name at least 30 people I would call my friends, but we aren’t really close at all. We just talk about normal day things, and I never really tell them my feelings or secrets. Therefore, I’m rather glad I have you, as you can be someone I can talk to when I’m feeling down, or when something has happened. I want my diary to be my friend, and I am going to call this friend kitty.
Wednesday, 24th June 1942
Dearest Kitty,
Oh what a day! A very very hot day it is, I’ve never really been grateful for the tram, but now I’ve realised just how pleasant it is instead of having to walk everywhere! I don’t really understand why, but now Jew’s aren’t allowed to take the tram…actually, we aren’t allowed to take any type of transport bar ferry, it is quite worrying, and I even got my bike stolen from me on my way to school the other day, quite a shock!
I have to go, bye-bye for now, Anne.
Sunday 5th July, 1942
Dear Kitty,
I’m terribly worried, we were just casually strolling down the street, my whole family, and father mentioned going into hiding, and he sounded so serious. He told me to ‘enjoy my carefree life while I could’, im rather scared…
Yours, Anne.
Thursday 9th July, 1942
Dear kitty,
We’re now all hiding in the place I like to call ‘the Secret Annexe’, surprisingly its quite cosy up here, although I’d much rather go back to normal life. The Secret Annexe is above daddy’s office, hidden from the outside world behind a book case, it’s all quite surreal. I feel so

    Studying the bonobo has given researchers much insight into our closest living relative. Unfortunately, according to a number of different journal articles, the bonobo is on the verge of extinction. However, in order to understand the conservation issues associated with the bonobo, we must first be able to classify the animal with respect to its families and groups. The bonobo is classified according to the taxonomic hierarchy. Bonobos belong to the superfamily Hominoidea that includes apes and humans, and the family of great apes. The subfamily bonobos belong to is the Ponginae with the genus Pan. The genus Pan includes primates such as the bonobos and chimpanzees. The bonobo is known as the species called paniscus, while the chimpanzee is troglodytes. Finally, the evolutionary characteristics of the genus Pan include "knuckle walking" and "thin teeth" (Mcgrew 4). Now that we have an idea of the classification of the bonobo we can begin to understand why it must be protected.…

    Susan B. Anthony, Helen Keller, and Anne Frank all had interesting lives and are some of the most inspirational women in history. All these women had a lot of struggles in life, but only one of them had lived during the treacherous times of the Holocaust. Although Jewish men and women struggled through the cruel “Final Solution”in Nazi Germany during World War II, the children that lived during the tragedy must have been mentally scarred from the Holocaust, that is if they managed to survive. Anne Frank, known for her famous diary entries, had lived in an annex for many years with her family in order to hide from the Nazis lurking around the area at the time. She wrote in her diary as the years passed on and named it “Kitty”.…

    She is young and has not experienced life to the fullest so, she is very hopeful for future events. In the text Anne states, “Monday, the ninth of November, 1942. Wonderful news! The Allies have landed in Africa. Pim says that we can look for an early finish to the war. Just for fun he asked each of us what was the first thing we wanted to do when we got out of here. For myself, there are so many things... to ride a bike again... to laugh till my belly aches... to have new clothes from the skin out... to have a hot tub filled to overflowing and wallow in it for hours... to be back in school with my friends.” This proves that Anne was very hopeful for a good outcome. Anne was very courageous. She never chose to give up when everyone around her felt like their lives were going to end, instead she kept her head high and stayed positive. Anne had hope and courage which helped her stay positive during the…

    Bodies laid everywhere, covered in newspaper and stacked on top of one another. The smell was horrible, and buildings were crumbling. This is what it was like for the Jews and other holocaust victims in the warsaw ghetto, but the warsaw ghetto was not the only ghetto during the holocaust. In poland there was at least 1,000 ghettos for the Jews to live in. They had little food and awful living conditions, the Nazis were literally trying to starve them to death. “According to Hitler, Jews were maggots, parasites, vampires, spiders sucking blood, and vermin” (Stewart). Anne Frank was one of many Jewish children to be sent to concentration camps and ghettos, all so Hitler could form his perfect aryan race. Anne Frank hid in fear of the Nazis for 2 years of her life before being discovered. Although terrible things happened to her and millions of other Jews, we wouldn’t have the chance to learn about the life of Anne Frank, or know that discrimination against people that are different from us is very, very wrong.…
