Anne Frank †Short Essay Essay

The session that I attended at The Anne andiron Project on September 11, 2009 was Beyond the Diary Behind the scenes of a Jewish Family in Hiding with Sophia Veffer. Even though I learned some affairs about the final solution during middle school, there still were things that I did not know. The reason why I attended this session is because I wanted to know how some of the Jews were fitted to survive the Holocaust and I also wanted to know what Sophias experience was like actually being a child during the Holocaust.This session affiliated to the overall theme of the conference because Sophia talked about what she and Anne Frank both had to go by dint of and how some people in different countries still go through similar situations. Today there are still people who get treated differently because of what they look lie or where they come from. Sophia said that if Anne Frank were still alive she would probably try to make a difference by putting an end to these genocides.I was very glad that I got a chance to sit in Sophias session because I got to learn about the Holocaust from an actual survivor. She told us how her and her family had eleven different hiding places. I couldnt even imagine what her childhood must have been like. She had to get rid of everything she owned even her identity. She also talked about how some Jews were not satisfactory to go in hiding and the reason was is they had to have money. The only families that went into hiding had money and they knew non Jewish people who would let them hide in their homes.One thing that really upset me is when Sophia said that the Germens pretended as if they did not know what was going on with the Jews. This really made me sad because how could you know that someone is doing wrong(p) and not care to try to change it and make a difference? There are many different issues going on in the valet de chambre today. One global issue that is of concern to me is homelessness. Every time I see a person out on t he street I incessantly think to myself their shoes can fit my feet.I do not mind helping others because after I do a good doing I always feel really good about myself and nothing can take that feeling away. This issue inspires me to try 2 make a small difference by giving them change or bringing them food. One day when me and my sister were driving up the street we saw perfume homeless people and their sign said that they were hungry so we went to Mcdonalds and brought them sum burgers. Making a difference starts with a small deed then originally you know it your changing the world.
