Here is a quote from her book:
"Nice people, the Germans! To think that I was once one of them too! No, Hitler took away our nationality long ago. In fact, Germans and Jews are the greatest enemies in the world." Friday, 9 October, 1942, pg. 36
I think that pretty much sums it up.

You're not going to find a one-liner giving you the perfect answer. The WHOLE BOOK is about how she felt about the Germans, and it's a complex answer, which is why you could write an entire essay on it.
If you can't answer the question, you didn't read the book, you just went through the motions. Go back and reread the book, and don't turn a page until you understand what she meant and how she was feeling. That's the only way to really understand the book and learn from this. Not by going online.

I didn't understand the book when I was young. I was a middle-class very lucky, reasonably clever girl at grammar school.
Then when I was 18 my father insisted I spend some Sabaths with a Jewish family. The mother was an Austwich survivor. She lost EVERY EVERY member of her family. Her tale was devastating. She told how a roll of bread had new meaning.
Don't re-read the novel.
Be really BRAVE - go to your local Jewish synagogue. Ask if they have any Holocaust survivor reading material (especially with pictures).
These will help you place yourself in the times of Anne Frank and it will be easier to understand.
Also your teacher will be be SUPER impressed if you mention some of the Holocaust details.
Look at pictures of open brain (with NO pain killers) surgery in the camps You should feel as Anne felt about people who could do those things to other people

You may have read the book, but you don't seem to understand it. There is a pervading feeling of anger toward and fear of the Germans throughout the book, from all of them, but Anne especially. I'm surprised you didn't catch that.

She was terrified of them. Try visiting the
Ann Frank House in Amsterdam and then, standing there where she lived and after reading all the displays... ask yourself how YOU would have felt about the Germans.

If you read the book and you are still not clear on Anne's feeling about this, then perhaps you should re-read the book. I think she made her feelings clear.
