The story of a 13-year-old girl (Anne Frank) makes me realize that you cannot hold the situation responsible for your sins.
Those who believe their situation is responsible for making them bad are lying to themselves and others.
I heard a lot of stories from people that first they were cheated in their relationship and now they are doing the same with others. People do not respect their felling so they do not want to respect others.
On another side, some people behave badly with others because others had treated them badly. But I am sure after listening to the story of the young girl, your mindset will change.
Her thoughts will compel you to think that “No matter how harsh the situation is, it only depends on you whether you want to be a great person or a demon”.
Here is a glimpse of how she used to think –
“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart”.
Lemme share Anne frank’s (The young girl) journey, A 13 years old sassy girl who wrote her diary in the worst circumstances. I have read that diary as someone has suggested to me and some fact that she is written in her diary. I want to share about that brave girl because her way of thinking has changed my mindset towards life, people and situations. Wanna recommend you to read “The Diary of a young girl”.
“How wonderful it is that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world”.

Anne Frank Introduction| Who is Anne frank |Birth
Anne Frank was born on 12 June 1929. She suffered a lot during the second world war when Hitler started an anti jews campaign and it was impossible to survive for anna’s family. So they decided to live in a secret area. She suffered a lot and she was only 13 years old. In that teenage she started to wrote her pain, emotion in a diary that was gifted by his father on her birthday and that was the most precious gift for her and she named that diary as “kitty”.
She gave a very beautiful message through her diary that was “Think about the beauty that is left around you and be happy”. It makes me really conscious that a girl who is facing a lot and giving a beautiful message even in that period in which nobody even thinks to live. She is very intelligent and perceptive, and she wants to become a writer. Anne grows from an innocent, tempestuous, precocious, and somewhat petty teenage girl to an empathetic and sensitive thinker at age fifteen.
Anne Frank family and Their Introduction
There were four members in her family her father, mother, her older sister and Anna herself.
- MARGOT FRANK – Anne’s older sister but Anne didn’t have a close bond with her. Anne thinks that Margot is pretty, smart, emotional, and everyone’s favorite sometimes. she
seen as a source of Anne’s anger and jealousy. - EDITH FRANK – Anne’s mother, She described her as uncaring nature
And she was also the source of her anger. - OTTO FRANK – Anne’s father, she had a very close relationship with him, her father was a very kind-hearted, practical, and patriot person. Otto Frank was the only member of the family who survived after the war.
Secret Annex
When her father planned to move to the secret annex Anne and her family were in a critical situation. In camp, people were treated like an animal. At that time Anne’s father’s friend decided to help them even if the police caught them. They will be punished. Still, They took the decision to protect the Anne family they include Miep and her husband Henk, Elli, and Mr. Koophuis. Others take a smaller role in helping them survive World War II. They helped them in every possible way. They used to bring food and daily use things, on some occasions, they also bring a gift.
Frank’s family moved into the building which housed the business that employed, Mr. Frank. The rooms were above the warehouse floor and were referred to by Anne as the “Secret Annex”. The family was joined a few days later by the Van Daan family. This family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan and their son Peter, who was a little older than Anne. The group also decides to make room for an eighth member, Mr. Dussel. He is a dentist, whose wife is in America. He is recommended by Miep, a young woman who worked for Mr. Frank.
8 people were hidden together at a secret area in anna’s father’s office and annex named that place as secret Annex.
Members of the secret annex
- Anne frank – Author of diary
- Margot frank – Her sister
- Fdiths frank – Her mother
- Otto frank – Her father
- Mrs. Van Daan – Her aunty
- Mr. van Daan – Her uncle
- Peter van Daan – Her love
- Dussel – Dentist
Difficulties in living at Secret Annex
They have faced lots of difficulties during the survival as they need to keep quiet in the day as people come to the office for work. They are not allowed to use the washroom, There are timing for using washrooms. they were not allowed to switch on the light at night so they can keep themself hidden.
In her diary, Anne has written everything about her relationship with her mother, sister, and father what she thought about Peter and his parents. They used radio for daily updates.
As the war continues, Anne finds out about how more and more Jews are being sent to concentration camps. She has difficulty dealing with her emotions but she was very happy to be safe and free from having to go to a concentration camp. She is also feeling guilty for this same safety because she knows her friends do not have this same secure feeling.
Peter, Anne confident
Here I would like to share something about Peter because Anne needs a confidant so she chooses peter. Peter was born on 8 November 1926. when Anne met the first time with peter she used to think that he is selfish like her mother but then she feels he is quiet and will keep her secrets for her. Secretly she falls in love with him they spent a good time together. Peter died in May 1945, he died before three days when he just about to leave the camp.
Dark Day
In August 1944, all residents of the secret annex were arrested and sent to first concentration camps. The second concentration camp was HARDER. The men and women were separated and They were treated as slaves and animals. They did harsh work. Then Anne and Margot were moved to the third and last concentration camp. Edith (Anne’s mother) stayed in the second camp and die of starvation. In this camp, Anne and Margot died of Typhus some weeks before the camp was free from the Nazis.
Who publishes the diary
Two workers used to work in the secret annex and they found the diary of Anne. After the war, they gave this diary to her father. The only survivor from the family was Otto (Anne’s Dad) who then was able to publish Anne’s diary. Anne heard once in a radio station about people sending similar diaries and letters, so she decided she wanted to send her diary. That’s one of the reasons the diary is so good written. Now in the day, her diary has become one of the most famous books of the holocaust in the world. It is famous worldwide.
She has faced a lot but never loses her hope even she never stops dreaming in that situation. she dreams of being a poet and she has known to be a great writer. Her story makes us more courageous and helps us to change our mindset.
As Anne said, “Think about the beauty that is left around you and be happy”.Never think about what people have done with you. Always what you have done for others. Life is full of monsters, Instead of being one of them shows other’s right path.
