Quote: “The more I remembered the killings, the beatings, and intimidations, the more I worried what might possibly happen to me or my family if I joined the NAACP. But I knew I was going to join, anyway” (Ch. 20, pg. 269). This passage is significant because it demonstrates the substantial and terrifying risks taken by those who chose to join the early Civil Rights Movement in the south. Earlier in her life, Anne witnessed acts of bigotry, violence, and murder carried out against members of black activists organizations and anyone who mentioned these groups in public.
Then Anne started to spend more time with Peter. As the story continues, they become friends, and a little more. Peter and Anne hung out in Peter's room. Peter says to Anne, “I think you're just fine… What I want to say…

Jews were not the only ones hunted down during the holocaust. Gypsies, a race and way of life, were also hated by the Nazis. While being a Gypsy was not a religion, they did have a set of rules called the Rromana. It governed things like cleanliness, purity, respect, honor, and justice. However, not much is actually known about the rules or laws they followed, because the Gypsies were so private in their lives.
This thought is conveyed in Anne's writing, "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." This gave the Franks' and their companions new hope. At last, there was someone on the way to end the agony from being confined to the same isolated rooms for a long period of time. This outpouring of support from various countries throughout the world, proves Anne's belief that people are really good at heart.
(p.119). When Anne shows compassion and sorrow for Lies, she shows that despite everything, she cares for others and that she’s not selfish or
Also Peter was shy and did not talk to Anne at all. Peter also did not like Anne and taunted her. Later on in the play Anne began to like Peter and talked to him. Also Peter was less shy and liked Anne. At the end of the play Peter and Anne liked each other.
Looking at the Holocaust, there is a very small amount of disagreement about who developed the concentration camps or what created the deaths of about 6 million Jews. The Holocaust is definitely the best commonly known case of religious oppression. But during my fact-finding I figured out that the oppression of the Jews expanded much further than directly singling out the full population of a specific religion. Alternatively, Hitler categorized the Jewish as a people, and used his influential power to completely eradicate the entire race.
Conformity and group mentality are major aspects of social influence that have governed some of the most notorious events and experiments in history. The Holocaust is a shocking example of group mentality, or groupthink, which states that all members of the group must support the group’s decisions strongly, and all evidence leading to the contrary must be ignored. Social norms are an example of conformity on a smaller scale, such as tipping your waiter or waitress, saying please and thank you, and getting a job and becoming a productive member of society. Our society hinges on an individual’s inherent need to belong and focuses on manipulating that need in order to create compliant members of society by using the ‘majority rules’ concept. This
The Holocaust Racial discrimination has always caused problems in history. The Jewish Holocaust was one such example. The Jewish Holocaust, lasting from 1933 to 1945, was one of the most horrific events in history. It all began in Germany in 1933.
Somehow, even through the bad, Anne still managed to be happy. This is inspiring to me and makes me think that I should be more grateful for what I have and find more happiness in my
During the Holocaust Jews were marked with the Star of David on their clothes ( Young, pg192). The badge was used to humiliate the Jews and to segregate them to keep watch (Holocaust Encyclopedia). Soon this was the death of six million Jews. Because of the Holocaust people lost their faith but this should not change the way of traditional belief in God. During the Holocaust, lots of people died and maybe some lost their faith, but I believe that the faith of many people grew.
The Holocaust is a shining example of Anti-Semitism at its best and it was no secret that the Nazis tried to wipe out the Jews from Europe but the question is why did the Nazis persecute the Jews and how did they try to do it. This essay will show how the momentum, from a negative idea about a group of people to a genocide resulting in the murder of 6 million Jews, is carried from the beginning of the 19th Century, with pseudo-scientific racial theories, throught the 20th century in the forms of applied social darwinism and eugenics(the display of the T4 programme), Nazi ideas regarding the Jews and how discrimination increased in the form of the Nuremberg Laws , Kristallnacht, and last but not least, The Final Solution. Spanning throughout the 19th century, racial theories were seen. Pseudo-Scientific theories such as Craniometry,where the size of one’s skull determines one’s characteristics or could justifies one’s race( this theory was used first by Peter Camper and then Samuel Morton), Karl Vogt’s theory of the Negro race being related to apes and of how Caucasian race is a separate species to the Negro race, Arthur de Gobineau’s theory of how miscegenation(mixing or interbreeding of different races) would lead to the fall of civilisation.

The employees of Otto’s office helped supplied the Franks with food, and information of the outside world. In this diary, Anne wrote a lot about her feelings. She would write about how she adored her father and how her mother lacked in love and affection. She did not write much about her sister Margot. In this dairy, Anne developed a strong bond with Peter
