Life in the 1930's for Anne Frank

  In the 1930's, groups of Jews were hiding from the Nazis in World War II. This includes teenager Anne Frank and her family, who hid for 2 years and had to deal with a lot. They could not even go outside because they were afraid of being caught by th Nazis. So they basically lived for 2 years in hiding not knowing what would happen next for them. They were scared for their lives, they were trapped in their own bodies. They could not do anything outside of their secret hiding place. Anne would write frequently in her journal about her life and having to cope with this.
  Picture it...you are just sitting at your home and suddenly people knock ferociously on the door and you open it and they bang a gold star on your jacket. People who had these were "Jews or not pure" and were sent to the camps and worked to death until you died at the scene, or if you were really young or old and weak, you were sent to shower in their showers which actually spit out gas and poison and you died immediately. It was hard for these people. To actually see it from a persons perspective was amazing and it really opened my eyes to a new light.
   I strongly suggest you watch this film " Masterpiece Classic:The Diary of Anne Frank." It will open your eyes like it did mine. You will be able to see what life was like for this teenager who was scared for her life. It is hard to see this and think "Wow I am so lucky to be able to see the light of tomorrow. Unlike Anne Frank." It also opened my eyes spiritually this girl was very brave. I know she had God in  her eyes and that is why she was so brave. I admire her brave personality and I know you will want to watch this movie to see how her life was back then.
