Anne Frank Biography

Exploring Amsterdam

Anne Frank's House

Anne Frank and her family lived in the "Secret Annex" for about two years. She lived right behind where her Father's business was taking place. The location is in a canal close to the Westerkek Church in Central Amsterdam. In the front of the building it is Otto Frank's business of spices and pectin. They hid in the back of this business away from the streets so they wouldn't get caught.

This is the back of where they lived.
Anne Frank shared this room with a man named Fritz Pfeffer, who was a dentist.


Westerkerk is only 500 feet away from the "Secret Annex"

Westerkerk is a Reformed church within Dutch Protestant church in central Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The Westerkerk was built between 1620 and 1631 in Renaissance style. The tower clock was one of the few things that could be seen from the attic of the hiding place, and several times" Anne wrote that the chiming of the clock every quarter-hour gave her comfort.

Nuremberg Law

This chart establishes the blood of the Jewish and the German people






Nuremberg laws honestly hurt my feelings it makes me think about the Jim Crow Laws where basically you're not free. I constantly think about if that was me, I wouldn't have my freedom I should have. People get arrested for not being free, just imagine if that was you. Imagine if you could not be with the person you are with, imagine just waking up, and not being the same person you usually. I sometimes just take time and think if that was me, and you should to.


Propaganda is biased information or information that is not true on a certain topic. It is used so you can get an audience to believe you. For example, Donald Trump would talk trash about Hillary Clinton so he can win the election. Adolf Hitler mainly did that to the Jewish people. Propaganda comes from music, speeches, advertisements, some come films or plays, and television was also where a lot of propaganda comes from. Propaganda is also like spreading rumors which also misleading. Propaganda can be fun to use, but sometimes people might not recognize it, so it is imporatant you know what propaganda is.
