A person should admire this young girl. Anne Frank was very brave and I could never imagine hiding for two years from the Nazis. Especially sharing a small annex with another family. What the Nazis were doing to the Jews was horrible and frightening. They were torturing them just because they were Jewish. Anne was very young when she got arrested. She also died at a very young age. She didn't really get to experience anything because of the Holocaust. That is why I admire Anne Frank and I hope other people will too.
