Anne Frank

Anne Frank
The Diary of a Young Girl
I have read 100/283 pages

Now I am going to talk about my job which is the Summarizer for Anne Frank- Literary Circles. The people in my group are Lana, Seung Jun, Mai and Me.

The story is about a thirteen year old Jewish girl and her family who left their house. The family  went to hide in the secret annexe in 1942 BCE with another Jewish family that was hiding there also because the Nazis took over Holland.  If the Nazis found the Jewish people they would get killed because the Nazis do not like Jews.The family keeps hiding in the secret annexe from the Germans.  Heard on the news that another man called Dussel who is a dentist comes to hide in the secret annexe as well and has to share a room with Anne. In the secret annexe they hear loud bombs. Anne is just a normal school girl and it does not matter if she is a Jew or not in Amsterdam. While being in the secret annexe they face hunger and all other stuff not allowed to make any noise and you are not even allowed to go outside.The two families stay in the secret annexe for a very long time.
