The Holocaust: Kindest Actions In The Holocaust

The Holocaust took place from January 30, 1933 – May 8, 1945. This event changed American history forever. Thousands of people died, including the Frank family. Anne Frank once said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Anne and her family had to go through a lot of tough times during the holocaust, but I agree with Anne, people are still good at heart.

They lifted everyone 's spirits, and made the night better. Anne even gave a gift to Mr. Dussel, someone who she quarrels with quite often. This action goes to show that even though we fuss or fight, we all want the best for each other. This action is the prime example of why I agree with
