Anne Frank Journal Entry #3

Option A: Respond to the following quote from Anne Frank’s diary. “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Why is it astounding that Anne would write this? Would you be able to write this if you were put into her shoes? In your own life and circumstances, do you agree with this statement?

Why do you believe it is important for students in middle school to study about the Frank family, the plight of the Jewish people, and the atrocities of the Holocaust? How can learning about these horrific events make you a better world citizen?
