Why we studied Anne Frank???

I think that Mrs. Chapman always has a very good reason for having us either learn about something, or read a play then watch the movie if there is one to go with it. I think she made the 7th grade learn about Anne Frank and The Holocaust, because she just wanted us to think about how hard it was for all the people who did not do anything wrong and still got killed by Hitler. I think Hitler did not like the Jews because he thought that the Jews were the people who caused all the problems in the world. It was all him causing the problems. Hitler killed about five million Jews during the Holocaust. Hitler killed many Jews by putting them in camps called “Concentration Camps”, where they eventually died from starvation. The diseases were spread because the people were living in very close corners. They also died from all the stress that they were going through while in the camps. Hitler also killed the Jews by saying that they were getting a shower, but once the Jews got into the chambers things changed. Water was not turned on the people inside, it was a deadly gas, and they died. At the beginning Hitler took all the families to the camps, and when they got to the camps the soldiers told the parents that the children were going to eat. But little did the parents know that the children were not going to get something to eat; they were separating the children from the parents. The children were then taken to a totally different location to another concentration camp. The parents then would be checked over by a doctor that was on sight, to separate the healthy ones from the sick or mentally retarded. The movie of Anne Frank, and Shendlers List really helped in my mind to make the picture clear on how hard and tragic the Holocaust really was.
