Anne Frank once said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” I agree with Anne. It doesn’t matter what bad things a person has done previously. What really matters is what they do next. Hannah Stern, a Jew in a concentration camp, helps a small child put on clothes. She helps a little girl over herself, which shows that she is a good person. Since the Franks, Van Daans, and Dussel are in hiding, they can't get each other presents. But Anne makes a gift for…
