Throughout the story, page 4, line 28, she writes, “You never realize how valuable a thing is until you experience it.”

After being named Chancellor, Hitler began what is known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust started on January 30, 1933 and lasted until May 8, 1945. The Holocaust was the mass murder of 6 million Jews (1.5 million of them being children). The Germans started burning the books that the Jews had written, removing Jews from their occupations and their schools, and taking their businesses and properties(An Introductory History of the Holocaust-Jewish Virtual Library). The Jews were forced from their houses to go to live in ghettos away from all society(An Introductory History of the Holocaust-Jewish Virtual Library).

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”.

The Nazis attempted to identify and contain all the Jews so that eventually, they could be moved to gas chambers. They used the euphemism “the final aim” to conceal their intention to exterminate the Jewish race from Europe (Byers 63).

Jewish families had their houses, money, clothing, artwork, jewelry and furniture taken in the chaos (Byers 65).

While in hiding in the annex they couldn’t turn any lights on and always had to be quiet. Most of the time Anne would write in her diary about how she was feeling or things she wanted to do.

She wrote in her diary, “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death.” This shows that even after all she has been through, she still manages to stay positive and optimistic.

Elise shows the reader that nothing is permanent, which is one of the many themes in this book. Although this is mostly shown through Elise’s change in feelings about her life and herself, the same message is also shown in her relationship with Char, which goes from friends to friends with benefits to strangers. She was so obsessed with him until she realized she knew nothing about him, and realized that although he had done some nice things for her, her relationship with him was not healthy, and they stopped talking.
