How to ask a question
5 answers
To ask a question, simply form a sentence that ends with a question mark (?) and make sure it is clear and concise. You can also use question words such as who, what, when, where, why, and how to formulate a question. For example, "What time does the store close?" or "Can you help me with this problem?" Just remember to be polite and respectful when asking a question.
43 Anne. But, Peter, if you'd only look at it as part of a great pattern... that we're just a little minute in the life... (She breaks off. Listen to us, going at each other like a couple of stupid grownups! Look at the sky now. Isn't it lovely? (She holds out her hand to him. Peter takes it and rises, standing with her at the window looking out, his arms around her.] Some day, when we're outside again, I'm going to ...
44 [She breaks off as she hears the sound of a car, its brakes squealing as it comes to a sudden stop. The people in the other rooms also become aware of the sound. They listen tensely. Another car roars up to a screeching stop. Anne and Peter come from Peter's room.
Mr. and Mrs. Van Dan creep down the stairs. Dussel comes out from his room. Everyone is listening, hardly breathing. A doorbell clangs again and again in the building below. Mr. Frank starts quietly down the steps to the door. Dussel and Peter follow him.
The others stand rigid, waiting, terrified.
1. In a few seconds Dussel comes stumbling back up the steps. He shakes off Peter's help and goes to his room. Mr. Frank bolts the door below, and comes slowly back up the steps. Their eyes are all on him as he stands there for a minute. They realize that what they feared has happened. Mrs. Van Daan starts to whimper. Mr. Van Daan puts her gently in a chair; and then hurries off up the stairs to their room to collect their things. Peter goes to comfort his mother. There is a sound of violent pounding on a door below.]
2. Mr. Frank. [Quietly] For the past two years we have lived in fear. Now we can live in hope. 47 [The pounding below becomes more insistent. There are muffled sounds of voices, shouting commands.)
48
Men's Voices. Auf machen! Da drinnen! Auf machen! Schnell!
Schnell! Schnell!'* etc., etc.
The street door below is forced open. We hear the heavy tread of footsteps coming up. Mr. Frank gets two school bags from the shelves, and gives one to Anne and the other to Margot. He goes to get a bag for Mrs. Frank. The sound of feet coming up grows louder. Peter comes to Anne, kissing her good-bye, then he goes to his room to collect his things. The buzzer of their door starts to ring. Mr. Frank brings Mrs. Frank a bag. They stand together, waiting. We hear the thud of gun butts on the door, trying to break it down.
a-Describe the day the Gestapo raided the Annex. What were the individual characters' reactions to the raid?
B- Why would there be a sense of relief for some?

B- Why would there be a sense of relief for some?
A) The day the Gestapo raided the Annex was filled with fear and tension. The characters reacted differently to the raid. Dussel came stumbling back up the steps, shaking off Peter's help and going to his room in a fearful manner. Mr. Frank bolted the door below and stood there for a minute, signaling to everyone that their fears had come true. Mrs. Van Daan started whimpering, and Mr. Van Daan put her gently in a chair before hurrying off to collect their things. Peter went to comfort his mother, while the others stood rigid and terrified, waiting for the inevitable.
B) There would be a sense of relief for some because living in fear for the past two years had been a heavy burden on them. Now that the raid had happened and they were facing the reality of their situation, they could finally live in hope. The constant fear and anxiety of being discovered and the uncertainty of their future had been a constant source of stress and worry for them. The raid brought an end to the secrecy and the constant fear of detection, which could bring a sense of relief to some of the characters.

• [it is again the afternoon in November, 1945. The rooms are as we saw them in the first scene. Mr. Kraler has joined Miep and Mr. Frank. There are coffee cups on the table. We see a great change in Mr. Frank. He is calm now. His bitterness is gone. He slowly turns a few pages of the diary. They are blank.]
1. Mr. Frank. No more. [He closes the diary and puts it down on the couch beside him.]
2. Miep. I'd gone to the country to find food. When I got back the block was surrounded by police ...
3. Mr. Kraler. We made it our business to learn how they knew. It was the thief... the thief who told them. 5 [Miep goes up to the gas burner, bringing back a pot of coffee.] Mr. Frank. [After a pause] It seems strange to say this, that anyone could be happy in a concentration camp. But Anne was happy in the camp in Holland where they first took us. After two years of being shut up in these rooms, she could be out out in the sunshine and the fresh air that she loved. Miep. [Offering the coffee to Mr. Frank] A little more?
• Mr. Frank. [Holding out his cup to her] The news of the war was good. The British and Americans were sweeping through France. We felt sure that they would get to us in time. In September we were told that we were to be shipped to Poland... The men to one camp. The women to another. I was sent to Auschwitz. 15 They went to Belsen. l* In January we were freed, the few of us who were left. The war wasn't yet over, so it took us a long time to get home. We'd be sent here and there behind the lines where we'd be safe. Each time our train would stop... at a siding, or a crossing... we'd all get out and go from group to group ... Where were you? Were you at Belsen? At Buchenwald?" At Mauthausen? Is it possible that you knew my wife? Did you ever see my husband? My son? My daughter? That's how I found out about my wife's death... of Margot, the Van Daans...
Dussel. But Anne... I still hoped.. Yesterday I went to Rotterdam. I'd heard of a woman there ... She'd been in Belsen with Anne... I know now.
[He picks up the diary again, and turns the pages back to find a certain passage. As he finds it we hear Anne's Voice.]
1. Anne's Voice. In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. [Mr. Frank slowly closes the diary.]
2. Mr. Frank. She puts me to shame.

Frank?
c-What happened to the rest of the people who were hiding after they left the annex?
a) When Mr. Frank states, "She puts me to shame," after reading Anne's diary, he is expressing his admiration and respect for Anne's unwavering belief in the goodness of people despite the horrific experiences she went through during the Holocaust. He is moved by her resilience, optimism, and capacity for forgiveness, and he feels humbled by her strength and hopeful spirit.
b) The diary has a profound effect on Mr. Frank, as it allows him to see the world through Anne's eyes and gain insight into her thoughts, emotions, and perceptions. Reading her diary helps him understand Anne's innermost feelings and beliefs, and it deepens his appreciation for her courage, compassion, and wisdom. The diary serves as a powerful reminder of Anne's enduring spirit and her ability to find hope and goodness even in the darkest of times.
c) After they left the annex, the rest of the people who were hiding faced various fates. Mr. Frank mentions that they were separated and sent to different camps - he was sent to Auschwitz, while the others went to Belsen. In January they were freed, but many of them did not survive the horrors of the concentration camps. Dussel expresses his continued hope for Anne's survival, but it is later revealed that Anne died in the concentration camp. The war displaced and traumatized many survivors, and they had to slowly rebuild their lives and come to terms with the loss and suffering they endured during the Holocaust.
