Allies to the RescueIn the book The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, there is an exciting and inspiring story of eight Jews who hide in a secret annex in Amsterdam, Holland, which makes an effort to survive in the harsh period of the Holocaust. The time period and setting of this book is World War II and the Holocaust. It's from 1942 to 1944, in Amsterdam, Holland. The street name of this secret lodging in the attic of Otto Frank's old office building is Prinsengracht 263-267, 1016 GV. This influential play tells the story of eight Jews who went into hiding during the dreaded Holocaust period and who gave all their will and strength to survive and get through the 1940s. The main characters in this book are Anne Frank and her family, the Van Pel family, Fritz Pfeffer, Miep Gies and Mr. Kraler. D-Day is an important event for these Jews and gave them a lot of meaning. These Jews went through a lot of stress and mixed emotions. Anne says, “Despite everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart” (Goodrich and Hackett 122). This quote shows how Anne can take out all the bad in people and only see the good in people, even when they might be very famous. D-Day gave these innocent Jewish members of the Annex a sense of hope and confidence in the ability of these allies to fight through German defenses to come to the rescue and save the Jews. Not only did D-Day give them hope and faith, but it also gave them a sense of security and comfort every time the Allies got closer to aid. D-Day was a time when Allied forces crossed into Germany from the beaches of Normandy to begin the invasion. D-Day was the largest sea-to-land attack ever documented... middle of paper... on with the negatives. Anne said: “We are not the only people who have had to suffer. There have always been people who had to…sometimes one race…sometimes another…and yet…” (Goodrich and Hackett 117). The reader is amused by how Anne maintains calm and a positive outlook during one of the most horrendous times in the history of this world. Anne had the stamina and willpower to continue fighting for freedom. Anne Frank hid a special characteristic that no one could take away from her, and that is why Anne Frank is who she is now. Anne set a standard for young women to show that they can be as brave and strong as her and have a bright spirit even when you are at your lowest ebb. Anne leads by example to show that whether you are a girl or a boy, old or young, you can be courageous and get through difficult times with a little help of hope..
