I just recently finished watching the movie " The Diary of Anne Frank. " And the movie just really hit me. Anyone else who has seen the movie will agree its a very heart felt true story about a girl who has to experience this.
Very sad experience just watching it.
To me, I just really despised what Nazis' were doing that period in time. It really sickens me to hear all these stories, but it really educates you on what just only 50 or 60 years ago. Just very sad all in all.
A great book I would recommend reading is "Night" by Elie Wiesel.
Great book.
Also the Diary of Anne Frank. Both really sad but it really gets to you.
So yeah, tell me your thoughts on what you think about this topic.

I feel that this was era of reconstruction and reform for Germany. This new era, helped fix their economic recession and inflation by shifting the industries focus towards a total war and it ultimately displayed political power and unified Germany.
The negatives, were persecution and discrimination against the Jews. WWII. The mass genocide of six million jews. All the lives that were taken in WWII which is 50-75 million.
So I feel the Nazi party is responsible for so many deaths and therefore they're evil.

I feel that the nazi era helped to kick Germany back into a somewhat sturdy economy HOWEVER the negatives greatly outweigh this. My great grandmother was killed at a concentration camp in Poland (the main one, that I for some reason can't name right now). I do love good ol' Oskar Shindler though, he saved so many lives.

You guys are very asshole-ish to read a little girls diary.... A Diary is a collection of thoughts that is supposed to be privatised to one person. Millions of people have breached this little girls privacy after she was chased by Nazis...Kick her while shes down.
and Krazedkat, the camp you are thinking of is Oshwitz.
and I just wanna point out, everyone says that 6 million Jews died in WWII, but if you do the math, in a life today, an average of 100 people die a minute around the world. WWII Lasted around 10 years.
100x60 = 6000
6000x24 = 144000
144000x365 = 52560000
52560000x10 = 525600000
52560000/6000000 = 87.6
For every jew that died, 87.6 others died. Thats not taking into accord that poor health and of course, THE WAR going on back then. The Jews deaths were very high (and unnessisary) but if you do the math, it nowhere near matchs the deaths of other causes. I would bet more men died fighting the war (defending the jews) then jews died.

I don't really spend much time thinking about the war, but In my opinion the one film which shows the true brutality in the ways which Jews were treated would be Schindlers List. I read Anne Franks Diary a long time ago and it was interesting but as Jeff above me said it's a huge invasion of here privacy especially when she's discovering things out about herself... but her father was in fact asked if it would be okay to publish the diary and he agreed to it, but still is there any better way to grasp and understanding of someones life than reading a diary of it.

Wow. I cant imagine what that feels like to have a relative killed at a concentration camp. Those camps were very brutal. That really gets to you I bet.

I understand where both of you are coming from. But I think Anne Frank gave them permission to publish her diary.
Though it was an invasion of privacy it tells a story that is just very very sad. I dont know how anyone could cope with this. In the movie you really get to know the characters and at the end they tell you were every one died which just hurts you in so many ways. Though her father did survive 35 more years.
I just wanted to tell some one how I felt about this, I just wanted to let people now how sad this was.

What bothers me is the people who dont take events like this seriously. People put swastikas on their Black Ops playercards and laugh about it when in reality its a symbol that represents the extinction of millions of people. Nobody puts the twin towers in their playercard because they were around when 9/11 happened so at least one part of their conscience is telling them to do the right thing. Schooling needs to put more of an emphasis on events like these at a younger age because kids these days dont understand how awful theyre being when they poke fun at the holocaust
The following 2 users say thank you to Cudder for this useful post:
