  • Essay / All people are good-hearted - 671

    In the 1930s, the Nazis rounded up and killed millions of Jews. One of the Jews involved was Anne Frank. She and her family hid from the Nazis for more than two years in the attic of an office building. During this period, she recorded all her thoughts and experiences in a journal. One of the most famous quotes written in his diary is: "Despite everything, I believe that people are truly good at heart." Some may not think this quote is accurate, but I agree with this statement because even in the most difficult situations, people often try to do what is right and right. This goodness can be proven through the actions of people during the Holocaust. Many people helped hide Jews from the Nazis while risking their own lives and the lives of their families to help others. This can be seen through different scenes in the play “The Diary of Anne Frank”. First, many scenes take place in which Miep and Mr. Kraler risk their lives for Anne's family and friends. They hide them, bring them food and share news about the outside world. When referring to their kindness, Mrs. Frank speaks of them with appreciation and affection. She says: “Mr Kraler and Miep… they are our lifeline without them we couldn't live. (Goodrich, Hatchett, 530) This quote tells us how important the kindness of others can be in life and death situations. Miep's acts of kindness didn't stop there: she also hid a Jewish boy in her own apartment. “Meip's life became even more stressful when she and her husband hid a Jewish boy in their own apartment (The Billings 56). Another example of this kindness is when those hiding in the annex agree to hide Mr. Dussel. Even if that means less food and less space for them, they're not even making the world better, they're just making it worse. This is why I agree with Anne Frank's statement. In conclusion, I believe everyone has a good heart. I believe this because when the Jews needed help the most, so many people came to their side. Even when people do horrible things, they do it with good intentions or for the right reasons. These are the reasons why I believe that no matter what, everyone has a good heart and will do what is right. Works Cited Goodrich, Frances and Albert Hackett. Anne Frank's Dairy. Literature.
