Hello friends, let's talk about the story of Anne Frank, a brave young girl who chronicles her life in hiding during the Nazi Revolution, and the unimaginable challenges and dangers she faced as a Jew living in the Jewish occupation of the Netherlands. Outwardly, Anne's integration into Nazi-led German society seems likely, but it is also necessary to compare the place and the situation at the time. Put on your gold-rimmed glasses and let's break them down.
Judging by her appearance, Anne Frank has typical Central European girl traits. She has light brown hair, blue eyes, and an olive-colored **, which is similar to most Germans. However, her physical fit alone did not guarantee her safety, and her hairstyle had a West Asian style, which also gave the Nazis a strong Jewish feeling. During this period, there were actually quite a few blonde and blue-eyed German Jews posing as "Aryans". Because in the Nazi faith, these physical characteristics were usually not associated with people of Jewish origin. But it was of some help to the real Jews.
In addition, Anne Frank's family background was a major obstacle to integration. Her father, Otto Frank, was a German-born Jew who fought for Germany in World War I. Despite his contributions to the country, the Nazis still targeted him and his family simply because of their Jewish heritage. Moreover, at that time, there was discrimination against Jews from top to bottom in Germany, and Anne Frank's family had already experienced a lot of discrimination and ** before they went into hiding. They were forced to wear yellow stars (symbols for Jews), endured invective, and were restricted in their daily lives. These experiences also further exacerbate the possibility of not being able to integrate into society. What did German society at that time think of as a perfect Aryan?That's the guy who had "blonde hair like Hitler, a figure like Goering, and a height like Goebbels" (in fact, Hitler's hair was brown!).）。
During the Weimar period, she was able to fit in, because no one cared about the appearance of Jews at that time, and by the time of Nazi Germany, her appearance became a social issue. After Hitler came to power, the values of German society changed completely.
On August 4, 1944, she and her family were arrested by the Gestapo when they were found in a hidden room behind a bookcase in the building where her father worked. Deported on 3 September. Three days later, she arrived at Auschwitz, where she and her father were separated and never saw each other again. Anne was 15 years old at the time, and when she arrived at the camp, she was forced to strip naked, sterilize, shave her head, and have her identification number tattooed. Like other women, she was forced to move rocks and cut turf during the day and huddle into a crowded cell at night. But her naturally optimistic personality has always allowed her to get some extra bread for her family. On October 28, Anne and her sister Margot were transferred to the Belsen concentration camp, where she met two friends, Hanneli Goslar and Nanette Blutz. According to their later recollections, Anne was bald, emaciated, and shivering. Anne tells them that she doesn't want to live long because she believes that her parents have been killed.
At the same time, an outbreak of typhoid fever broke out in the camps, resulting in the deaths of thousands of prisoners. One survivor recounted that Anne's bed was near hers, and that at the moment, Anne had become "unhinged."
The exact circumstances of her death are unknown, but it is likely that she died of the typhoid epidemic. The British liberated the camp on April 15, 1945, and burned it down to prevent the disease from spreading further. Anne and her sister Margot were buried in a mass grave in an unknown location.
Her father survived imprisonment in Auschwitz and returned to Amsterdam after the war. Anne's diary was preserved by her father's secretary, Miep Gies, and published in 1947. The Diary of Anne Frank was translated from the original Dutch version into English, and has since been translated into more than 60 languages and released in many countries.
