Sure takes a lot of sacrifices to leave your home and move into a new one without even saying goodbye to your closest loved ones and friends. Courage is…

Courage, compassion, and sacrifice all are in the story of Anne Frank. Courage is a very hard thing to show when your religion is being captured and killed by Nazis. Compassion is also difficult to show when your supplies and feelings are limited.

childhood. I went to a Kosher, Jewish school from Pre-K to second grade, where Hebrew and Jewish history were as an integral part of school as math and science. Although my family is not orthodox, we did celebrate all of the Jewish holidays from Hanukkah to Tish’a B’Av.

For birthdays and Hanukkah all I would ask for was art supplies and the necessary equipment for clothing design. In the summer prior to my senior year in high school I attended a high school summer program at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Every morning…

Though her actions serve to give herself joy, she also wants Peter to have fun. The family celebrates Hanukkah in the Secret Annex and Anne surprises them all with gifts, "Mrs. Frank (sitting down): We are all here, alive. That is present enough. Anne: No, it isn’t. I’ve got something ...Mrs. Frank: What is it? Anne: Presents!" (538). Anne's generous act…
