Question

what was the gestapo what did anne write in october 9 1942 entry what news did she get from miep gies and from the radio

Answer 1

Under Nazi rule of Hitler, the State Secret Police was called Gestapo and it was headed by Heinrich Himmler.

 

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl, who along with her family, spent their time hiding and escaping from the persecution by Nazis.

 

In her diary entry of October 9, 1942, she mentions about Gestapo’s treatment of captured Jews. Such Jews are transported to Westerbork concentration camp in cattle cars, with nothing to eat or drink and in the most unhygienic conditions.

 

She learns from Miep Gies – her protector from the Nazis, that most of these Jews are murdered or sent to the gas chambers. Very few manage to escape.
