Anne Frank's Legacy

This is another example of Ma Joads characterization and a development she had. It also shows just how strong Ma has become, and she is considered a symbol of human love, it is a love of family as a whole above all others that she practices.

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. ”- Corrie Ten Boom. In the touching true story, The Hiding Place, Corrie Ten Boom proves her faith and passion for God and fulfills these words to their fullest. During the time of World War II, Corrie took it upon herself to shelter and protect Jews, despite the intense risks.

Imagine a life where you are face to face with death and fear, sitting in camps wondering if that day would be your last. In 1933 the holocaust started. The holocaust was the time of death and fear. In the end about six million Jews were killed and imprisoned. They were captured and sent to concentration camps and extermination camps.

She even opened her arms to the Germans through the help of her Christian faith and forgiveness. Her “safe havens” were a place for victims/Jews/Germans to come and recover from the events of WWII through the work of gardening and relaxation. Another popular work of Corrie Ten Boom is A Prisoner and Yet. In this book she shares her experiences in the concentration camps run by Hitler and his generals. She relies heavily on her faith to get her and other prisoners through life day by day.

In the novel, a girl named Hannah (Chaya) shows us to not take for granted what the survivors of the Holocaust lost. In the book, Hannah is transported back in to time to WW2. Her “aunt” Gitl, was a very strong woman who took after Hannah. During this time the war was at its highest, and Gitl was talking about the Jews situation in all of this, “We Jews like to joke about death because it’s what you laugh at and make familiar no longer frightens you.”(p82). When Gitl says this she laughs through it to release the pain of knowing that she might not come back alive.

She is recognized as a hero by Europe and America and other small countries, and one Allied journalist wrote about her, “ “What Jeanne d’Arc has been for centuries to France...that will Edith Cavell become to the future generations of Britons(www.history.com).” Edith Cavell saved people she barely knew, she died for them, she had an incredible influence in the hospital she worked at, and her compassion pushed her to never turn any wounded soldier away, despite being an Allied soldier or a German soldier. She is a hero who changed the futures of many soldiers as well as everyday

Many know Coretta Scott King to be the wife of Martin Luther King Jr.- one of the most influential civil rights activists ever. However, what most do not know is the story of his wife, Coretta Scott King, and her fight for all people, peace, and one whose bravery should be recognized for many more years to come. When speaking she said, “I am made to sound like an attachment to a vacuum cleaner,.... the wife of Martin, then the widow of Martin, all of which I was proud to be.

In particular, a woman from Poland named Irena Sendler impacted thousands and thousands of children's lives.

Tosia Altman had an immense role in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. She educated the youth and also led the underground part of the resistance. She faced death several times just so that she could help others. For example, she saved people from a burning fire, and spread significant messages that helped people to escape. Now forgotten, she deserves more recognition and her work should be known and taught along with the Holocaust.

In the news article, “The Controversy over Anne Frank’s Legacy,” published by JTA, the author, Tom Nugend, questions whether Anne Frank should be the icon of the Holocaust. I agree with the author’s claim that Anne Frank shouldn’t be the main person of the Holocaust because many other Jews had to suffer more than she and her family did. Her family was lucky that they had a place to go into hiding and that they had friends that offered them things that they needed. While Anne Frank and the others stayed in the annex, many Jews and other innocent people were taken to concentration camps. In the camps, they were forced to work and they barely received any food.

Let's talk about Anne Frank. We all remember the holocaust and how bad it was right? Well Anne Frank, her family, and a lot of other people went into hiding. There were some that were hiding with Anne and her family. The only one thing that was hiding them was a book case.
