Anne Frank: The Fiery Savior

During the Nazi rule in the land of Germany, there lived a girl named Anne Frank, with her parents and her elder sister, Margot in the beautiful city of Frankfurt. She was a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl with starry eyes and dreams that every teenager saw at her age: dreams of higher studies and dreams of going out with a cute lad. Everything was going as it should in Anne’s life, until the day when a huge incident changed her life.

Adolf Hitler, who was becoming the popular leader of the Nazis, started ruling Germany and sent an order to kill all the Jews living in Germany and beyond. He wanted to establish a Nazi Europe, where only Christians would live. Hitler was a ruthless leader and a hardcore patriot.

All the Jews in Europe were sent letters to report in concentration camps where they were gassed or sometimes shot to death. It was a difficult task for Anne’s family to leave escape from Germany, as they belonged to the middle class society. However, they somehow managed to escape to Amsterdam and find a deserted office building there, where they hid themselves and named it ‘The Secret Annex’.

Anne and her family were accompanied by another family in the Secret Annex, the Van Daans. Although everybody had the fear that one day the Nazis will find and kill them, they tried to make their days in the Secret Annex memorable. Anne, Margot and Peter (Mr. and Mrs. Van Daans’s son) became good friends and they all lived like a small family. They celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and festivals together. Peace was just a step away as news spread that some countries were coming together to help the Jews survive the holocaust.

However, dark clouds hit the Secret Annex and the Nazis captured the Franks and the Van Daans. Anne was taken by the Gestapo to a certain concentration camp in Warsaw in Poland. Anne had no idea where her parents were. While she was carried in one of those small prison vans, she encountered a dream. A fiery dream of avenge, a deadly dream of revenge. It was a dream which was life-threatening and yet beautiful. Anne woke up to see that she was taken to a laboratory from that small prison where Nazis would inject a certain chemical in her blood. The Nazis wanted to ruin the Jewish population and believed that this chemical would let Anne vomit blood, and this vomit will turn into a gas that would completely dissolve the whole prison into thin air.

Anne was brought to be injected with the chemical and was soon left alone in that dark laboratory. The jailors, with the chemical, would return very soon to poison her. Here is where the impossible happened. Due to the carelessness of one of the jailors, Anne found a key lying on the ground. She immediately picked it up and ran to the nearby prison. It was almost midnight, and the jailors who watched over were in deep sleep. Anne tried to open the prison and found that the key actually worked. She brought all those hundreds of innocent people out and helped them escape through a narrow lane. Although Anne was the first one to open the prison, she did not run and made sure that everyone in that prison was out. She, along with a few other Jews, fearlessly moved towards the Nazi Common Hall. They took a brave step and started burning down the rooms one by one with the help of torches that lit the prison rooms.

Christianity teaches you to be a good human being. In fact, any religion does the same. Anne’s aura was so bright that the sinners could not take it. Many Nazi jailors and prison officers were burned in the rooms the same way as thousands of Jews were murdered. Every sinner there suffered and burned to death.

News spread to Germany and to the ears of ruthless Hitler. However, before his forced arrived, Anne, her friends and many other Jews were rescued by the forces who opposed the Nazis, those of the United States of America, along with Great Britain and France. Anne Frank, among the Jews, became a mother, a goddess. For the Jews, Anne Frank became a life-giving goddess who gave justice to all those innocent Jews who were brutally murdered by the Nazis. She became the source of power for the Jews who survived and a support to the ones who lost their loved ones in the holocaust. Anne Frank became an inspiration to all the generations thereafter, and she is still immortal, living like a fire in our hearts.
