Anne Frank Webquest

 

 

 

 

This webquest is to help students gain a better understanding of Anne Frank's life and the events surrounding what caused her ultimate demise, the Holocaust.

 

Anne Frank was a young girl whose life comes alive when reading her story, The Dairy of Anne Frank.  People all over the world are able to see what life as a persecuted Jew was like during World War II; thus gaining an appreciation for the sacrifices people made in the struggle to stay alive.  Anne Frank did not become famous until after her death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and after the liberation of all concentration camps.  Otto Frank, Anne's father, was the only surviving member of the people hiding in the Secret Annex. He later had Anne's dairy published.
    It is imperative that before anyone begins to read the dairy, they gain a sense of appreciation and understanding of how and why the Frank family went into hiding on July 6, 1942.  Once the foundation of this knowledge has been laid, then the true meaning of the dairy can take place.

 

"I hope I shall be able to confide in you completely, as I never have been able to anyone before, and that you will be a great support and comfort to me."

Anne Frank, June 12, 1942
