Night Of Broken Glass Research Paper

The Holocaust was a dark time in history when 6 million Jews died and Germany is where it all started. A man named Adolf Hitler started out as a high ranking officer, and then Hitler became the Fuhrer of Germany and he thought that there was something wrong with the Jews.So when Hitler got all the power, he eliminated all the checks and balances so it was like a dictatorship and he made concentration camps everywhere (Rice 42).Then, he attacked Poland and killed Jews all over Germany (Rice 42).
During the Holocaust, there was this girl named Anne Frank, Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. As a child, Anne had many friends, and when she turned 13 and she got a diary for her birthday that she wrote in everyday in hiding (Stitching). Some of the events leading up to the holocaust were the Nuremberg laws plus 121 more laws laid down by Hitler (Rice 42). Polish Jews were driven to the border and dropped off to die and some forced to immigrate out of Germany (Rice 42). The Night of Broken Glass is one
Miep Gies gives Otto Anne’s diary and Otto reads the and discovers a whole new Anne and he is touched by that (Stitching).
One of the things I learned from this project is that i’m more touched by the Holocaust now because when you hear about someone who went through the holocausts life it’s more meaningful.Reading a story through a family member who did survive of the person who didn’t is really sad and it tells more about the person than the actual person can say about than themselves.I really enjoyed this assignment and it really open my eyes and an understanding of the Holocaust
