Question:

The question I will be answering is, “Would our understanding of the Holocaust be quite the same if Anne Frank had not taken a small plaid diary into hiding with her?” I would have to say yes and no. yes it does, because with her writing it shows what it was like in person and the emotions of a Jewish girl in hiding. It’s better than just an outsider’s view of guessing what it would have been like. Also she tells about how a lot of Jewish families went through in order to hide from the German soldiers. I would say no, because there was other evidence about how the holocaust was, and she didn’t say that much about what the German soldiers would do to her. Over all, she did shared a significant amount of information about the holocaust but with, or without the diary the understanding would be about the same.
