Question

what is the meaning of intimate examination in the following line:The diary provides an intimate examination of daily life under nazi occupation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sexual policies were a core component of the National Socialist racial policies, both in the Altreich (territories considered part of Nazi Germany before 1938), as well as in the occupied territories. In occupied Poland the Germans imposed a ‘prohibition of contact’ (Umgangsverbot) with the local Polish population, a restriction that covered both social as well as sexual encounters. But this model of absolute racial segregation was never truly implemented. This paper attempts to show that there existed a wide range of sexual contacts between the occupiers and the local inhabitants, with the focus here being on consensual and forced contacts (sexual violence) as seen against the backdrop of National Socialist policies. This article positions itself at the intersection of the history of everyday life (Alltagsgeschichte), the history of sexuality and the gender history of the German occupation of Poland – perspectives that have rarely been used with regard to this region.

Answer 2

Answer:

Anneliese Marie or Anne Frank, the Jewish daughter of Mr. Otto Frank, wrote her experiences while hiding with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II in a diary given to her by her father. Her family had moved to Amsterdam after the Nazis gained power in Germany but were trapped when the Nazi occupation extended into the Netherlands. As persecutions against the Jewish population increased, the family went into hiding in July 1942 in hidden rooms in her father’s Mr. Otto Frank’s office building. After two years of hiding, the group was betrayed and transported to the concentration camp system where Anne died of typhus. Her father, the only survivor from the group, returned to Amsterdam to find that her diary had been saved. Convinced that it was a unique record, he got it published in English under the name of “The Diary of a Young Girl”.
