How did WW2 inspire or impact certain authors like Elie Wiesel or Anne Frank to write? [for project]?

Question

I've read the book Night & I read The Diary of Anne Frank. The were required for school, I just need some in sight.

I've read Night & The Diary of Anne Frank, they're required reading for this project. I have to do a research paper on this question. Just need insight.

Answer 1

Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl, was hidden with her family inHolland (Netherlands) during the holocaust, a massive killing through concentration camps executed by Nazis against 12 million people, 6 million of whom were Jewish. She kept a diary throughout hiding, and was eventually captured with her whole family and brought to a camp. She died there, but her father passed on her diary to be published.

Elie Wiesel is a holocaust camp survivor, and even today is a big proponent against genocide (racial and ethnic elimination through murder).

Both believed their writing would impact the future. Their experiences during the war made for two of the most famous books in the world. Anne Frank's diary is in several countries and languages.

Wiesel wanted to show the torture and hell of genocide, and how strong the people were to prevail, and why it is so atrocious and should be fought and prevented in the future.

Anne Frank believed all people were good at heart, and her writing was meant to show the close bonds of her family, their experience and suffering and suspense in hiding, and their experience learning news about the war and everyday survival in hiding from one of the biggest war machines in history, the Nazis.

Answer 2

I don't know about Elie Wiesel but Anne Frank lived every aspect of her life because of the war. She had no normal life at all because she was living locked in an attic with her family in Amsterdam for nearly all of the war, about 4 or 5 years. She lived under constant threat if her or her family were discovered. What she wrote was not an inspired essay on the impact of events in her life, it was a diary of her entire life throughout the many years she was locked away with her family.

Answer 3

Well, WWII impacted both of these people because they were Jewish. Most of their family was killed by the Nazi regime and so was Anne Frank.
If they weren't gassed in the chamber, they died from dysentary, starvation or being over worked.
Anne Frank had to hide like a rat with her family in hopes of escaping the Nazis. She came of age living in the space the size of my closet with her family and they were all caught when the neigbors ratted them out.
Elie Wiesel watched the smoke come out of the smokestacks on the huge crematorium and it was what was left of his family...
Good reads, great authors. Dont rely on this forum for a quality piece of homework. ITS WORTH THE READ.
People who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.

Answer 4

Elie Wiesel wrote a book called Night - the original version better than the newest one that followed Oprahs Book Club push. Elie was big on anti war propaganda though.

Answer 5

Ann Frank was writing her diaries on her experiences during the Nazi occupation of Holland, they were hidden by friends,to avoid capture, so she wrote about it, and even after there capture she carried on up to the end, the only member of her family to survive the camps was her father who died in 1980.

Answer 6

Have you watched the movie? I think the best one to do would probably be diary. Because then you don't have to worry about at the moment dialogue, you just have to pretend you are remembering events from that day. Have fun with it. Just try to put yourself in the events that are happening. What would you have said? Who would you have agreed with? Would you have made it easier for the families to be found or would you have kept quiet and stayed hidden? Would you have competed with Anne for Peter's attention? Be creative, that will get you more points than anything. And whatever you do don't cheat, your teacher will be able to tell. Teachers can always tell.

Answer 7

Their stories are not stories, they are real life accounts of the horror of the Holacust. Both books were on my reading list in high school and Night has always been one of my favorite all time books. They wrote about the world as they saw it, not some imaginary conflict being fought in some far off distant place, but right before their eyes, and all around them.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Anne Frank was a victim of the nazi holocaust, she would not have written at all if she had not had to hide from the nazis - till they found her and killed her.

Answer 10
