Anne Frank believed that deep down inside, all human beings were good. Obviously, she never saw the Nazi concentration camps before she wrote that down in her diary. She didn’t know much about World War II when she was alive back in the 1940’s. She only knew that she was hiding in the Secret Annex so the Nazis wouldn’t find her. I will agree with her saying that all human beings are good only because she said “deep down inside”.
From The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne lived in the Secret Annex without knowing fully what was going on. “I expect I should be describing what it feels like to go hiding. But I don’t really know yet myself.”(Frank 463) She didn’t know very well about the Nazi concentration camps. She was just following her parents’ directions during those years. This is why she
The Holocaust was probably the most terrifying act of the World’s history ever. It was very wrong of what the Nazi soldiers did to the Jews and to other minority groups during World War II. I believe Hitler was the one who turned all of the Nazis evil. As for Anne Frank’s quote, I do agree with her opinion about all human beings being good deep down inside. The only reason I agree with this quote is because she said “deep down inside”. If she were just talking about human beings generally, I would have strongly disagreed with her. Anne Frank’s father thought she was crazy to say a quote like that. “She puts me to shame.”(Frank 522) I very well could understand why he felt that way. She had not been through the concentration camps yet when she wrote that quote.
