<h2>
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">What does The Diary of Anne Frank mean to us today?</span></em></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>USII.1a</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Students will analyze primary and secondary sources to understand US history from 1865 to present</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Goal: How do I analyze a primary sources? </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">You may have heard of the word analysis and when teachers ask you to do it---do you know what it means?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Historical analysis is a breakdown of the primary source so you can draw a conclusion about what happened. History without any analysis, is just names, dates, places. It's more than that. When you analyze, ask yourself what does it mean for us today? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Just because you are students doesn't mean that you can't be historians and write an historical analysis. You can learn to make conclusions with historical evidence with practice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Some questions during analysis are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">1.Do you completely understand the primary source? Primary sources use vocabulary you may not know. Find out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">2. Why did the author write it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">3. What were the circumstances under which it was written? Was it a speech written over several days or a quick note to troops on the frontline?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">4. What was the background of the author? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">5. Was the source written at the time of the event or years later?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"><strong><em>Activity #1</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Think about being a teenager. What new experiences are you going through?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Are your relationships changing between your friends and family? What new things have you learned about yourself?Consider these questions in your answers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Do you think your experiences are unique? Let me give you an example, all teenagers experience what psychologists call "the invisible audience". It's the feeling that everyone is watching you, looking at what you wear and what you say. Everyone goes through this. Trust me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><strong><em>Liberation</em></strong></span> is when the Allies arrived and freed the population from Nazi power. Liberation can apply to a city, town or to a concentration camp. In the winter and spring of 1945, the Allies (the combined armies of the British, the US, the French, and the Soviets) were closing in on Nazi Germany. The Soviets were gaining terrority in the East and the rest of the Allies were coming in from the West like a sandwich. For Germany, this meant a <strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">war fought on two fronts</span></em></strong> (one in the east and one in the west). It was clear to the fighting men that the war Europe would be over soon</span><span style="font-size: large;">. Meanwhile, as the Allies pushed nearer to Germany, they found and freed the concentration camps. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Unfortunately, for Anne Frank she died sometime in March or April 1945, just before Bergen-Belsen was liberated by British troops on April 15, 1945. When Bergen-Belsen was liberated, the camp had no running water, little food and no toliets. Anne probably died from <span style="color: magenta;"><strong><em>typhus, </em></strong></span><span style="color: black;">a infectious disease spread by body lice. It causes a high fever, coughing, nausea, and vomiting. Without any medical assistance, death is possible. </span><span style="color: magenta;"><strong><em>Typhus </em></strong></span><span style="color: black;">is easily prevented with bathing and access to clean clothes.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;">On September 4, 1944, the Frank family boarded a train to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Deportees taken to the east were crowded into cattle cars (see picture on right) which have no seats, restrooms, windows, or toilets.</span> </span></div>

<div style="font-weight: normal; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> A concentration camp is a place where people are taken illegally because they are considered dangerous to the rest of the population.</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's not a prison where people are held because they have broken the law and were convicted of a crime by a court. People who are in a concentration camp sometimes do not know why they have been sent there. The term <em>concentration </em>means to bring together to a central point. Therefore, the Nazis <em>concentrated</em> their enemies in camps so they could not endanger other Germans.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;">There were many other camps throughout Europe, but Auschwitz-Birkenau (Auschwitz II) was different because it was a very large </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><em>labor camp</em></strong></span> and a <span style="color: blue;"><strong><em>death camp</em></strong></span>.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Auschwitz was designed so that the trains stopped onto a </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ramp close to the gas chambers (see upper left). </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next, the Germans divided everyone into two large lines: one for women and children and the other for men.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> Everyone else were told that they would take a shower. The Germans said that everyone would be united with their families later. In reality, the people who were too young, too old, too sick for slave labor were killed shortly after their arrival in gas chambers located at the edge of the camp away from view. Most slave laborers found out much later that their families were killed shortly after their arrival.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> At Auschwitz, s</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">lave laborers had many varied taskes. They worked to build and maintain the camp, but the Germans were interested in the area because of large deposits of coal and other resources for a German company called IG Farben. The company worked to produce <em><span style="color: magenta;"><strong>synthetic</strong></span></em> (artificial) rubber and gasoline. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> On arrival, Anne, Margot, and Edith Frank were <strong><em><span style="color: blue;">selected </span></em></strong>for work in Auschwitz-Birkenau. They made friends with another Dutch woman, Lenie de Jong-van Naarden. She survived and her account was later published. (I've added extra information in parenthesis to help you with special vocabulary.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="background-color: white;">"The work that we did consisted of dragging stones from one end of the camp to the other. Why it was necessary, heaven knows? But there was another group who brought the stones back...Later,when we worked in a factory in Libau (another subcamp), making tire chains, we always did something to make the machines break down. Nothing was said; it just happened spontaneously...We were dying of thirst. Each day our food was a piece of bread, sourdough bread; sometimes we got a small dab of butter as well, sometimes also a teaspoon of honey in your hand. Annie and I always shared our portions in the mornings and the evenings. At most it was a slice and a half of bread. It was minimal, and later there was even less...I remember that Anne Frank got a rash and ended up in the Kratzeblock (medical barracks). She had scabies (body mites). Margot voluntarily went with her. Those two sisters stayed with each other, and the mother was in total despair.". </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> One of the German war aims was to get rid of European Jews. Considering that before the war there were 11 million Jews in Europe, how did they attempt to accomplish it?</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"> Anne and her family were sent to Westerbork, a transit camp, in Holland. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Transit camps were where people were <span style="color: blue;"><strong><em>segregated (separated) </em></strong></span><span style="color: black;">from the public.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Butterfly-- I love this poem and I'm not into poetry, really. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Read it slowly and then read it again.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This post is going to feel like an literature lesson. Too bad, historians look to literature to look for clues into the past. Remember that primary sources can be any form of communication that date from the time period. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> It was written by a teenager, Pavel, while living in a ghetto in what is now the Czech Republic. Remember while you read it that he was a teenager and not much older than you are now. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I designed this poster because I love the imagery. The poster is 12x24 and when I showed it to my husband, he wanted me to order a copy for ourselves to display. I was flattered. Below, I've presented as </span></span><br />

Are primary sources only written documents? </h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Normally, when teachers and students discuss primary sources, students think of written records.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Where else can we find a records of the past? Really any object or artifacts from the past can be a primary source. However, artifacts require more intrepretation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been to Italy several times because I'm into Roman history. When I was in the eighth grade, my mother made me watch I, Claudius. After that I was hooked. I took two undergraduate courses in Roman history and loved it. However, I never took Latin or Greek. Looking back, I should have to enrich my studies, but hindsight is twenty-twenty. So I'm posting some of my pictures from Rome, so that if you are studying Latin you can practice being an historian and translate an artifact. See if you enjoy it. Also you're helping me out, so far I'm clueless what is written. I encourage you to post your translations so that I know more about my pictures. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This first one is a no brainer (kinda had to post this one): </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This one I took at Pompeii on the threshold of a house. If I had to guess it's something like a welcome </span><span style="font-size: large;">mat. The bright sunlight would have washed out the white lettering, so I asked my husband to cast a shadow over it. I know all sorts of tricks...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the Pantheon in the center of Rome there is a dedication to Agrippa at the top, I think. The orginial building burned down and a later emperor, Hadrian (?) rebuilt it.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ten year old Irmgard Marx lived in Frankfurt and she remembers the day when some customers weren't allowed inside her father's store: </span><br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <em>On the day of the boycott, on April 1. 1933, an SA (Nazi) man stood in uniform before our store and hindered customers from coming inside. A few brave souls came in through the courtyard (backdoor) in order to buy their goods, but the largest share of our customers stayed away. In one case a man, very agitated, came to us in our apartment after he had an exchange of words with the SA man. But this was an exception, and I cannot remember his name. My parents told told us children nothing about the boycott, I myself was shocked when I saw the SA man, but had no inkling of what all this meant for the future. After the boycott, the business went on. The circle of customers had grown smaller, but there was still enough to do. No, in any event, Christian businesses did not shut down for the day out of solidarity [with us]. Things like that that just didn't happen in those days. Later one could see certain Christian-owned stores with signage that said "German or "Aryan". Many were businesses that had formerly belonged to Jewish owners. I can still remember very well the signs which appeared on the restaurants, cafes, and movie theaters--when this I can't remember any more---which said that Jews were not desired there or that entry was forbidden to Jews. These signs were also posted for swimming pools. In one bakery in our neighborhood, there was once a sign that read, "We do not say Gross Gott anymore but Heil Hitler! Even as young as I was I was horrified. Now I can't say "Good day" when I entered a shop or store in order to buy bread or rolls. There was a steady stream of new discriminatory laws which made the daily lives of Jews more difficult. Even my parents and their business were affected. ..[T]</em></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>here were several "faithful customers" who came to buy from us long after the boycott, but that circle---especially after 1936---became smaller and smaller. My parents closed their business either in late 1937 or 1938. How high their losses were I can't say ...</em></span></div>
