Why are there so many books, movies, documentaries, etc. about the Holocaust? Why do we keep retelling this story?

I think that this story is told over and over again because this kind of event should never happen again. To prevent this kind of problem they are told over and over again. Holocause happened for a long time and during that period, usually it was the innocent people who got killed. Also from the Holocaust some survivors were set free, who wrote, books and told their kids. This still is a big issue, and we should never forget about this horrible time, just because it might happen again...

Act I: “But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind.” Explain what you think this statement means. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
I think people can understand the meaning in different ways, but i think that this phrase means that they may keep you from what you are going to do, but they can never stop you from thinking.
Act I, Scenes1-3: What do you think would be the hardest part of life in the Secret Annex: the fear of discovery, the need to keep silent for hours at a time, the sharing of cramped quarters with strangers, or some other aspect? Explain.
I think that the hardest time of the secret annex would be eating the amount that really wouldn't fill your stomach. Also being with total stranger and sharing a room with he or she who has a bad temper and a selfish person , i think that would stress me alot.
Act I, Scenes 1-3: Do Anne and Peter seem to have typical teenage attitudes toward their families? Go back to the text for examples to support your response.
I think they show typical teenage attitudes toward their families. Peter gets embarrassed by how his mother talks to him. Anne only shows love toward her father because she doesn't like her as much as she loves her father. Every time Mrs. Frank talks, she compares with ?Margot and Anne.
Act I, Scenes 4, 5: Describe how the Hanukkah celebration in Scene 5 is interrupted. What does Peter do to make matters worse? According to Dussel, how will this incident lead to their discovery by the police?
During the Hanukkah a burglar went it to the building of where the Secret Annex is at. They kept quiet until Peter's cat Mouschi came out of Peter's room. So when Peter tried to stop his cat, he made a loud noise, because of that the burglar got out of the building. According to Dussel the burglar might get caught, so when he gets caught the burglar might tell the Police about some jews hiding in the hiding place.
Act I, Scene 4, 5: Anne is a dynamic character; that is, she changes in the course of the play. What does Anne’s gift giving reveal about her? How do her gifts to her mother and peter show that she has changed?
Anne turned mature then before. Her gifts to her mom was a good idea, it showed Mrs. Frank that Anne cared for her, as well as to Peter.

4.Foreshadowing: foreshadowing is the use of clues or hints to suggest events that will occur later in the plot. Why does Mr. Frank break down when he

the glove that mr. frank holding is the glove that belongs to mrs. frank. because he was the only one from the family who survived from the camp. the glove brought him memories.

3. Theme

I think that the theme of Anne Frank's book is a girl's dream. Anne wanted freedom, she wanted to go out side and play with her friends. She wanted to be out side and have fun.
