Anne Frank was one of many young Jewish girls at that time.  Her life was normal until the war began.  Watch the video below to learn more about this courageous girl.

                                           

(**Parent Note:  Please excuse the few typos in the video.  Also, the video mentions that Anne's family was betrayed by a family friend Victor Kugler.  That cannot be verified.  It still remains a mystery as to who actually betrayed them.  This was the best video that was found which contained the information on her life but did not contain graphic/disturbing images of war.)

EXTRA CREDIT:

1) Color or draw a picture pertaining to WWII or Anne Frank

2) Create a timeline of events of WWII

3) Bring in an artifact from WWII or share a story of someone that was living during WWII.
