Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is the most widely read text
about the Holocaust, yet it reveals only one example of the tragic
consequences of the Nazi policy to eliminate the Jews. This
casebook enriches Anne Frank's remarkable personal account with a
variety of historical documents that illuminate the political and
social context of anti-Semitism in Germany and the Holocaust. It
includes an account of the Frank family's life in Germany before
emigrating to Holland; first-person accounts of Anne's last seven
months in deportation and concentration camps; other Holocaust
narratives in the form of memoirs, letters, and children's diaries;
an excerpt from Zlata's Diary, the story of a young girl caught in
the war in Bosnia which has been compared to Anne Frank's; official
Nazi pronouncements on "The Final Solution" to the Jews; and
newspaper reports and editorials of the horrific events occurring
between 1939 and 1945. All of these materials will help the student
to better understand the historical context of Anne's experience,
and the teacher to select appropriate materials to sensitize
students to this period in history. Documents and discussion
materials are organized into chapters on the Frank family history,
including a chronology; the Jews in Holland; children in the
Holocaust and their rescuers; a narrative overview and chronology
of anti-Semitism in modern Germany; the Holocaust; and other
Holocaust stories. Kopf also addresses the psychological issues of
adolescent development so dramatically illustrated in Anne's diary
and looks at her writing as carefully crafted literature. Each
chapter contains study questions, topics for research papers and
class discussions, andlists of further reading for exploring the
historical as well as the personal issues leading to and
culminating in the Holocaust. This is an invaluable source for
interdisciplinary, English, and world history classes.
