The movement of millions of Africans to the New World, during a period of roughly four hundred years, was by any standard, a major historical phenomenon. Over the period of the Atlantic Slave Trade, from approximately 1526 to 1867, some 12.5 million captured men, women, and children were put on ships in Africa, and 10.7 million arrived in the Americas. The Atlantic Slave Trade was likely the most costly in human life of all long-distance global migrations. The experience of slavery was never a comfortable one. Nevertheless, the kind of labor assigned, the quantity and quality of food and clothing received, the type of shelter provided, and the form of punishments dealt could lessen or increase the level of discomfort slaves had to endure.
Anne Frank needs a mother and a father to be born and that makes up a family. Anne’s mother was a tall broad woman that was married to Otto Frank. Otto and Edith had a daughter 3 years before Anne. Her name was Margot Frank. They lived together until the concentration camps. Otto was a wealthy businessman and ended up owning his own company. Mrs Frank was a stay home mom who would hold big parties there would be beef stew and bread and always pastries. Anne’s sister was everyone’s favorite. She never threw a fit or made a scene, yes she was the perfect child. In my opinion Anne had a loving family that always loved her.
Life before imprisonment was good. They didn’t have to worry about Germans or discrimination. Life was great for the Frank family and the other Jews.
Anne was born in Germany and had lots of memorable moments. She didn’t have to worry about Germans or discrimination. She could go to school with all the other kids and go see a movie with her family. With all the big cities like Hamburg, Bremen, Frankfurt, Munich, and East Prussia. Amsterdam had to be the most known with so many tourist attractions. I wish I could go and see Germany when I’m older so I can see the hiding place of Anne Frank.
