Weekly Write In - One Moment

As Ms. Madeline presented to you in class today, World War 2 was a highly significant event that did not just happen overnight. Many things led to the eruption of violence, and one of the most well-known was the aggression of Adolf Hitler both onto the world around him and against some of his own people. As we begin to read Anne Frank, the diary of a young Jewish girl living in a world of increasing Nazi control, you can imagine she must have lived through or heard of some great horrors even before the war began. Think back on the instances of anti-Semitic behavior Ms. Madeline spoke of, and describe one of them that stuck out most to me in your own words. This should take the form of a paragraph. Why does this moment speak to you? What feelings arise when you think of this moment?
