THE DİARY OF HOPE


Anne Frank was born on June,12,1929,in Frankfurt,in Germany.Her father was Otto Frank and her mother was Edith Frank.She had a sister called Margot.Margot was three years older than Anne.She was a gentle,shy girl and everyone loved her.But Anne was a curious girl.She was always asking questions.But anybody couldn’t resist her sense of fun.
Otto worked for a bank.They lived in a comfortable apartment near the countryside.Until Anne was 4,she had a very happy childhood.But,then their life has changed forever.
Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party.On January 30,1933,he became ruler of Germany.Hitler blamed the Jews for many of the country’s problems.So,Jewish people began losing their homes and their jobs.
Otto Frank decided to move his family to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.He believed that they would be safer there.Anne’s new home was an apartment in Amsterdam.She made new friends.Some of them were Jewish children whose families had also fled from Germany.Anne and her friends liked to play hopscotch on the wide pavementsand race along on their bicycles and scooters.In the winter,Anne loved going ice-skating.
Anne was a popular girl at school.She loved to make people laugh.But sometimes she was in trouble at school for talking too much.One teacher gave her the nickname :’’Mistress Chatterbox’.
But when she was 10,her life got hard.The Germans were still very close.In April,1949 they conquered Norway and Denmark.Then,on May 10,they began their invasion of Belgium and the Netherlands.
That day,all the shops were closed and Anne didn’t go to the school.After a few days of fighting,the Netherlands surrendered.Now,the Dutch people and the Jews had to live under Nazi rule.
At first,life under Nazi occupation carried on as normal.The shops re-opened and everyone had enough food.Anne and Margot went back to the school and their father went to work.Anne loved the cinema and collected pictures of famous film stars.She also loved swimming at the local pool.But,after a while,the Nazis made more and more rules againist the Jews.Anne couldn’t do most of her favourite activites.She wasn’t allowed to go outside and had to be quiet for most of the day.
A new rule was introduced in January,1941.Jewish people weren’t allowed to go to the cinema any more.In the summer,swimming was forbidden and the beaches were closed.
In September,Anne had to leave her school and she went to a Jemish school.The signs were put up which said:’Forbidden to Jews’ in the libraries,theatres,museums,coffehouses and the zoo.Jewish people were forced to give up their bicycles and cars.
On 12,1942,was Anne’s thirteenth birthday.She had lots of presents.Otto gave her a red checked diary.Anne,treated her diary like a friend and even gave it a name’Kitty’.
At first,she wrote in her diary about all the things a typical teenager is interested in-her exam results,actresses and actors.But her parents were nervous all the time.Her father was talking about going into hiding.
At the end of June,the Franks learnt that.the Nazis wanted to send all Jews to work camps in Germany.So,Otto an his family decided to move to a secret annexe behid the offices and warehouse in Prisengracht.
So that Frank family moved to the annexe the following day.Margot went early the next morning,with Miep Gies,Otto’s secretary.If they had been caught,they would have been punished.
Anne and her parents arrived soon afterwards.Anne described her new home.There were three bedrooms,a tiny washroom,a toilet,a large room with a stove and sink,and an attic.
Anne had to share her room with Margot.She pasted up pictures of film stars in the bedroom.But another Jewish family,Hermann and Auguste van Pels and their son Peter arrived to share their hiding place.So,it became a crowded home.

During the day,when the workers were in the warehouse,everyone had to speak silently.If the floor creaked or they dropped something,someone might suspect that Jews were hiding there.Miep Gies put herself in danger almost everyday,She tried to buy enough food for the families in hiding.Luckily,the Nazis never caught her.
Living in hiding was very hard for Anne.She wrote:’I want to ride a bike,dance,whistle,look at the world and feel young.But now I can’t do anything’.That was very difficult for such a lively girl.She had to spend hours without talking or moving around.At least she could tell her diary how she felt.She told that she loved her father best of all because he stood up for her when other people picked on her.She also described her hopes and dreams.How she wanted to be a writer and to be grown up.
The families in hiding were always afraid and nervous.They had to be careful and quiet.Any sound might mean danger.
One night in April,the men from the annexe heard burglars breaking into the warehouse below and went down to look.The thieves ran away,but neighbours heard noises and came to check.Now the men from the annexe had to run away.They closed the bookcase door quickly.
Worst of all,the police turned up.They searched the building.Anne heard their footsteps.One of the policemen rattled the wrong bookcase.At last,the footsteps went away.Anne wrote:’None of us has ever been in such danger as we were that night’.
In Amsterdam,there were a lot of enemies.People who were hiding were in dangerous.The SS offered bribes to people who were prepared to give them information.
On August 4,an informer phoned the Nazi Secret police,and told them that Jews were hiding at 263 Prinsengracht.When the police arrived at the offices in Prinsengracht,they forced Victor Kugler to open the bookcase door and showed the secret annexe.The police arrested all the hideaways.Then they searched the annexe for money and jewellery.Prisoners were walked down the stairs and put into a truck.When they went,Miep Gies put Anne’s diary in a drawer to keep it safe.
The Frank family and their friends were taken to a prison camp Westerbork,near the German border.Anne,Margot and their parents had to wear prison clothes and wooden shoes .They were put in a factory to work.They had to break up old batteries.It was a hard,dirty work.But three weeks later.the family was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau-a concentration camp.It was set up by the Nazis to get rid of people.Thousands of people died there.The Franks were in the last train.Anne and Margot stayed there for only a few weeks.Then they were sent to another camp called Bergen-Belsen.It was also a terrible place,full of dirt and disease.
The prisoners had very little food,they were starving.Anne and Margot had nothing to wear exept tags.They caught a deadly fever called typhus and Margor died.Anne was sure that,her father and her mother must die in Auschwitz.She was ill desperatly and she died a few days later Margot.
But one member of the Franks had survived.In January,1945,Allied Russian soldiers anvanced into Poland.Whwn they came tu Auschwitz,they set free the prisoners.Anne’s mother had died,but Otto was still alive.
On May,1945,World War II finished.The world was at peace again after six years of fighting.Otto Frank returned to Amsterdam to look for Anne and Margot.It was difficult to find out what happened the people who were sent to camps.But later Otto learnt that both of hi daughers were dead.
But Miep Gies still had Anne’s diary.She always hoped to return it to Anne but now she gave it to Otto.Otto read Anne’a diary over and over.And he decided that everyone should read her story.So,Anne’s diary was published in the United States as Anne Frank:The Diary of a Young Girl.It was also translated into many other languages.
-Did you like the story?Why?Why not?
Yes,I did.Because even though terrible things had happened to Anne and her family,she was sure that people could make the world a better place.
-Copy out words struck you most in the story
In spite of everything Anne wrote in her diary:’I still believe that people are really good at heart.’That was a very important and good idea I think.
