Book Report #2
Anne Frank
Anne Frank is a diary kept by a girl in World War 2. She was a Jew who moved from Germany to Holland when she was 4 because her Father got a new job. At this time the war had started and Germany began to be against Jewish religion.
So Anne, Father Otto, Mother Edith, and sister Margorot Frank went into hiding along with some friends who came into hiding as well. Their names were Auguste, Hermann, and Peter van Pels. Later another guy came into hiding too, his name was Fritz Pfeffer.
Anne is an amazing writer which is good seeing she wanted to be a journalist. They go into hiding in her Father's building. It is a section of rooms called the Annexe and they put a bookcase for a door so no one would know where they are.
They are a pretty wealthy family so their friends help them get food and other things on the black market.
Because they are in hiding they can't flush the toilet or run water at certain parts of the day in case the people in the building next to them or the workers in the lower part of the building hear them.
Anne wrote in her journal from 12 June in 1942 to 1 August in 1944 so she was in the Annexe for a while. Peter and Anne actually got to be pretty good friends.
Saddly in the end the Germans found them and she never wrote in her journal again. Her Dad kept the diary though and since she had said she would want to write a book about their experience he published her diary fo her. They never found her again.
