Dear Anne Frank

11/12/2012

There are many times in history that we wish we could have talked to those who experienced the events. Anne Frank gave us a personnel account on what she was feeling in hiding during the Holocaust. If you could write to Anne what would you say? What types of questions would you ask her and why?

If I were writing to Anne, I would tell her how much I admire how strong she was during this whole situation. She kept her cool around the other inhabitants and never disrespected anyone. I would ask her how it felt to live in fear that one day she could be taken away from her family and possibly killed. I would also ask her HOW she kept her cool during all the arguments and ridicule she was going through.

I admire her as well for being strong and keeping calm during hiding. How would you feel if you were taken from your family after thinking you were safe?

I would feel awful if I was taken from my family after thinking we were safe. If I were in hiding for over 2 years and then was discovered and taken away, I would feel as if the whole experience was a waste.

I wonder how she kept her cool, too. It was most likely very hard.

To Anne Frank I would say that it is incredable they hid for 25 months from the nazis. I would ask Anne if she regretted any remarks about the others. I would ask Anne this to see how she really felt about them.

Kevin, I also believe that hiding for 25 months is amazing. How do you think they stayed there the entire time?

I believe they hid that long because of luck and help

If I could write to Anne I would say how she was feeling when everyone criticizes her with everything she says or does. I would also ask her what are some things to make herself feel better and the things she does to get over it. One question I would ask her would be how do you feel since you came into the "Secret Annexe"? Or what would you do to make yourself not feel like you are just dirt?

Veronica, how do you think she would answer your questions?

I think Anne would answer to my questions by saying that she just been in the moods of being mad then being sad and then being happy. Also I think she would say that just writing in her diary makes her feel like she isn't dirt.

Yo le diria como puede vivir con otra familia porque para cualqueir persona deberia ser muy dificil poder convivir sin estar teniendo problemas y acostumbrarse a ese modo de vida y vivir escondida, cuidando sus alimentos, sus palabras, incluso su tiempo para usar el bano y que los Van Daan le digan que si fuera su hija bla bla.Pero no lo es y como no extranar a sus amigos ni siquiera podia mandarles cartas o algo que feo seria estar separado de el mundo hay afuera solo esperando a que se acabe la guerra y no los quieran matar.Ella fue realmente muy valiente y muy fuerte para poder estar ahi dos anos sin poder disfrutar su vida imagino su frustracion al no opder salir a ver el sol, o hablar cuanto ella quisiera yo no podria.

If I could write to Anne, I would say to her that I could not stand living in one place without able to get out of it, I would get frustrated. I would ask her, if she ever thought of getting out of the Secret Annexe, because she could of thought it to get out of the place.

Miss Witka

Jose, I agree it would be frustrating not to go outside! Where do you think she would go if she got out of the secret annexe?

Jose Miranda

Personally I think that if she got of the Secret Annexe I think that she would visit a park, because she has been talking of how nature makes her feel happy.

Jose, i agree it would make you angry to not go outside, but if you go outside you are risking beeing caught or killed. Is there anywhere in the building you think she could go besides outside to get get out of the anexxe?

I would ask , anne frank how she feels to be forced into hiding becuase of her religion . I would ask her questions on what she misses the most about being in her usual life.I would ask this ,becuase i couldnt bear the idea of being put away for my religion,or being who i am.

Miss Witka

11/27/2012 09:30:25 am

Perla, (Capitalize names and I) I think asking what she misses the most is a good idea. After reading her personal thoughts, what do you think she misses the most?

If i could write to Anne and ask her questions, I would tell her how brave she was to be able to live in hiding. The questions i would ask her are how she was able to write so much her dairy without having to tell anyone what she wrote, who was here least favorite person in the house, and did you ever worry about her cat.

Miss Witka

11/27/2012 09:32:15 am

Jay, she was a brave girl, I do not think it would be easy at all to be in hiding fearful of being caught. How would she answer your questions after reading about her personal thoughts?

Jay Thomas Conway

11/30/2012 03:15:19 am

I think that Anne would awnser my questions as the following. "I wrote in a personal place, My least favorite person is Mrs. Van Daan, and yes, I do worry about my cat."

Adam Mattingly

11/30/2012 03:15:11 am

Jay, I agree that she was brave. You wouldn't catch me living with the Van Daan's for two years.

Alex Basto

I agree with you I would try to leave the Van Daan alone as much as possblie

Alex Basto

11/16/2012 03:17:01 am

If I could write to Anne I would say how did you stand all that insult? How did you feel staying with the Van Daans? I also say to her are you scared that the Germans were after you?

Miss Witka

11/27/2012 09:33:46 am

Alex, those are good questions, how do you think she would answer them?

Alex Basto

11/30/2012 03:25:02 am

I think she would them as truth as possblie by writing a letter

If I could write Anne I would tell her that I hope she stays strong and courageous so that she will make it through the Holocaust safe along with her family. If I were to ask her a question I would ask her if at any time, when would she choose to leave the Secret Annexe if she were aloud to.

Miss Witka

11/27/2012 09:35:51 am

Brittnee, I think wishing her well and to stay strong would be great words of inspiration for her and her family. How do you think she would answer your question?

Veronica link

11/30/2012 03:16:42 am

Do you think she would leave even if she wasn't allowed to?

The Brittnee

11/30/2012 03:21:08 am

Miss Witka if she were to respond to the question I think she would say that she wouldn't leave the Secret Annexe because she has to many people there that she has grown close to.

The Brittnee

11/30/2012 03:24:21 am

Veronica I asked if she could leave

Andrew

11/30/2012 03:11:23 am

If i had the chance to ask Anne something it would be why she focused mainly on the situation in the Anexxe but not mainly on the war.

Jose M.

11/30/2012 03:19:39 am

Andrew, I think that that is something to think about, because the war was very important. Why do you think that she thought more of the Annexe.

The Brittnee

11/30/2012 03:27:04 am

Andrew I think she focused on the situation so she could ignore the fact that the war was going on around her.
