Future historians will need first-person accounts of the time of the coronavirus. Journaling is also a great opportunity for you to process your feelings, reflect on your day, and, later, remember the details of this time of your life. ● Each week, please write at least 500 words in your journal. This could be one long entry, or spread across multiple shorter entries. ● Please treat this journal as a public document. Your teacher will be reading it and providing feedback. There may also be opportunities for peer editing down the road. ● Don’t forget paragraph structure! :) How to Get Started: ● Use the excerpts from the Diary of Anne Frank as a model. A journal does not need to be a simple account of each day. It can include memories, reflections, wonderings, descriptions, and stories. ● Feel free to free write, but if it is helpful, here are some prompts to get you started: ○ Who are the people in your house? Describe them. ○ What is your daily routine like now? ○ What do you know about coronavirus? What questions do you have? ○ What do you predict will happen next? ○ List ten things you are grateful for. ○ Describe the part of the house you do your homework in. ○ Write a letter to someone you miss. ○ What is the view like from your window? ○ How do you help out around the house?

In 1942, Frank and her family went into hiding in a secret apartment behind her father’s business in German-occupied Amsterdam. The Franks were discovered in 1944 and sent to concentration camps; only Anne’s father survived. Anne Frank’s diary of her family’s time in hiding, first published in 1947, has been translated into almost 70 languages and is one of the most widely read accounts of the Holocaust. Anne Frank’s Childhood Anne Frank was born Anneliese Marie Frank in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 12, 1929, to Edith Hollander Frank (1900-45) and Otto Frank (1889-1980), a prosperous businessman. Less than four years later, in January 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany and he and his Nazi government ​ instituted a series of measures aimed at persecuting Germany’s Jewish citizens. Did you know? In 1960, the building at Prinsengracht 263, home to the Secret Annex, opened to the public as a museum devoted to the life of Anne Frank. Her original diary is on display there. By the fall of 1933, Otto Frank moved to Amsterdam, where he established a small but successful company that produced a gelling substance used to make jam. After staying behind in Germany with her grandmother in the city of Aachen, Anne joined her parents and sister Margot (1926-45) in the Dutch capital in February 1934. In 1935, Anne started school in Amsterdam and earned a reputation as an energetic, popular girl. In May 1940, the Germans, who had entered World War II in September of the previous year, invaded the ​ Netherlands and quickly made life increasingly restrictive and dangerous for Jewish people there. Between the summer of 1942 and September 1944, the Nazis and their Dutch collaborators deported more than 100,000 Jews in Holland to extermination camps. Anne Frank’s Family Goes into Hiding In early July 1942, after Margot Frank received a letter ordering her to report to a work camp in Germany, Anne Frank’s family went into hiding in an attic apartment behind Otto Frank’s business, located at Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam. In an effort to avoid detection, the family left a false trail suggesting they’d fled to Switzerland. A week after they had gone into hiding, the Franks were joined by Otto’s business associate Hermann van Pels (1898-1944), along with his wife Auguste (1900-45) and their son Peter (1926-45), who were also 7 Jewish.
