During World War II, the German Reich marched across the entire continent of Europe. During the Holocaust, many people became discouraged and lost hope in the future of society. However, the excerpts from “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl,” written by herself, and “Hitler Youth: Growing up in Hitler’s Shadow” by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, prove that being positive and persevering is the best thing that someone can do. Whether hiding from the Nazis or already taken by them, the best response to have during conflict and chaos is maintaining a positive outlook on life and to persist through difficult times.
The reader can see this by when Mr. Dussel comes to hide with the people in hiding, Anne steps up and says that he can live with her, and even walks Mr. Dussel to the room they are going to live in together. As the war begins to get worse, the reader can see how Anne reacts to the air strikes and the Germans taking Jews away from their homes. The way Anne is reacting to her situation is showing her growing maturity. Another way Anne shows her maturity in Scene Four is when Anne makes gifts for everyone in the Secret Annex for Hanukkah. Even though she fought with a lot with everyone in the Secret Annex she still made them presents.
Anne Frank once said, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” The Holocaust was a traumatizing event for millions of innocent people, however, many found comfort by remaining calm and relaxed, for example, Anne Frank in the “Diary of a Young Girl”. In addition, politicians also did their best to encourage positivity, such as shown in “Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat” by Prime Minister of England Winston Churchill. Keeping this mindset, they were able to maintain decent health, and most importantly, were able to persevere through any challenge that presented itself. Though some may argue that compromise is the best way to respond to conflict, in order to obtain peace and compromise, one must first have a positive attitude.
Dealing With Conflict and Hard Times When it comes to dealing with tough times such as going to internment camps or hiding from Nazi soldiers so that they aren’t taken to centration camps, there are three important questions that come into play; What motivates people to move through hard times and moments? , What can people do to help others going through tough problems?, and Who can people go to to help them through tough times or conflict? I think that people can best respond to conflict by staying strong through courageousness and always having people in their life to talk to.

While the themes of The Pianist and Anne Frank’s Diary are primarily concurrent with one another, both can also contrast another. For example both share common themes of overall oppression, survival, and injustice but both protagonists experience these themes in different ways. One of the the three main themes of both stories is survival. Now the definition of survival is to stay alive and somewhat healthy for as long as possible. In this case of survival both protagonists in both stories were being treated extremely cruel because of their religion thus resulting in hiding, just to not be sent to the concentration camps.

I think she says this because she is happy in the annex but worried about what is happening outside. She compares them to a “little blue piece of heaven surrounded by heavy black rain clouds” (frank 115).
