Immersion Novel Final Post

From reading my novel, The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank, I collected a ton of knowledge about the Holocaust. One piece of that knowledge is the fact that the Jewish weren't exactly alone, they had help, only sparsely, though. Through the black market and certain Germans, they could be hidden and be able to buy necessary things to live through the black market with their own form of currency. I also learned that experiencing the war and desolation of it all became a usual thing that the Jewish people ended up getting used to, as Anne Frank grew into the constant bombing, but was still slightly surprised unpleasantly by that. Perpetrators were all of the men who took place in getting the Jews to concentration camps, as the collaborators were the supposed "tattle-tales", those who gave away hiding spots. What happens at the end of my book is that Anne writes her last entry, and was sent to a concentration camp. This shows how the Holocaust was not all happy endings at all, people died and families were split.
