The Great Depression of the 1930s, which caused worldwide economic decline, lasted from 1929 to 1939. This period of time brought unrest and anger in citizens of countries such as Germany, which their government took advantage of and created a dictatorship to direct the people's emotions towards other countries. Adolf Hitler seized this opportunity to claim power and push his agenda against the Jews. This caused World War 2, and in turn, the Holocaust.

Adolf Hitler was born in Austria in 1889, and he served in the German army during WWI. Adolf Hitler blamed the Jews for the country's defeat in WWI. Soon after the war ended, he joined the Nazis. After President Paul Von Hindenburg's death in 1934, Hitler declared himself the leader of Germany.

The Nazis were founded in 1919. The Nazis created concentration camps to torture and/or kill the jews. This army ruled Germany and banned all other political parties.

Anne Frank was a Jewish child that hid in the attic of an apartment with her family and four other Dutch Jews for two years. Anne wrote a diary during her time in hiding. She wrote about her fears, hopes and experiences. Her diary was a real description of the life of Jewish children in the holocaust and was published after the war and became a symbol for the children who lost their lives. Anne died in March 1945 when the German police discovered their hiding place.
