Do you take where you live for granted?  At the age of thirteen, Anne Frank was forced out of her home by the Nazis. Anne Frank's most memorable years were spent living above an office in a secret annex.  For many months, Anne

Frank could not talk, use running water, turn on lights, wear shoes, or go outside.  Many of the things you do at home every day, she was not allowed to

do. The objective of this task is create empathy for Anne’s situation and experience what she did as a result of others.

Task Three: Personal Experience Diary• At the time of your choosing within the next week, you will live for

an hour and a half as Anne Frank did in the annex.  You will have to complete this task at home.  Here are your instructions:     1.) Take off your shoes, remove all portable electronics from your room (this is VERY important), inform your family not to interrupt for any reason and explain why, go to your room, close the windows and doors, and turn off all of the lights except for one flashlight or candle.     2.) During the time in your room, you can not talk, eat, use running water, watch TV, text, play videogames, listen to music (even with headphones), walk, or do anything that makes excessive noise such as flushing the toilet.   

• Record your thoughts, reactions, and activities you experience by writing your own diary reflection.

Many different diseases caused turmoil and despair amongst the Jewish race. Many diseases plagued them while they were in the

concentration camps, because they were in constant contact with each other. They also had little sanitation and medical assistance.

The objective of this task is to understand the fatal consequences of discrimination and how Anne’s life ended.

Task Four: The End – Disease Outline/FactsheetAnne Frank died of a disease that many people suffered from in the

Holocaust. Your fourth task will be to find the disease that claimed Anne Frank's life and the following information about the disease:

1.)the symptoms 2.)the origin of the disease

3.)the biological vectors 4.)what efforts were made to find the cure

5.)the statistics of how many people died from the disease
