Question

The Holocaust was a systematic elimination and killing of six million Jews by the Nazi rule and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January 1933 and believed that Germans were ‘racially superior’ and that the Jews, deemed ‘inferior’, were a threat to the so-called German racial community. In 1933, there were over nine million Jews in Europe and most European Jews lived in countries that Nazi Germany would go on to occupy or influence during World War II. By 1945, the Germans and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe. Between 1941 and 1944, Nazi German authorities deported millions of Jews to ghettos and to killing centres, often called extermination camps. Here, the Jews were murdered in specially developed gassing facilities.
Anne Frank was one of the over one million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust. In July 1942, Anne and her family went into hiding in a secret attic apartment behind the office of the family-owned business.
Anne named her diary as the ‘Secret Annex’. On 4 August 1944, the Gestapo (German Secret State Police) arrested the Franks and sent them to Auschwitz, a concentration camp complex in German occupied Poland. Unfortunately, Anne and her sister died of typhus in March 1945. Only Anne’s father, Otto, survived the war. Soviet forces liberated Otto at Auschwitz on 27 January 1945.
While in hiding, Anne kept a diary where she recorded her fears, hopes and experiences. The dairy was found in a secret apartment and was published after the war in many languages. It is used in the middle school and high school curricula in Europe and America.
