Explanation:

This is a fill-in-the-blank exercise about the historical background of The Diary of Anne Frank. The correct words from the word box are used to complete the sentences accurately, matching the historical facts of the Holocaust, World War II, and the Frank family's experience.

Answer:

1. The Diary of Anne Frank is a play based on a true diary written by a teenage girl while World War II was taking place across Europe. Anne was born in Frankfort, Germany. She and her family had a good life there, but then Adolf Hitler rose to power and created a political party called the Nazis.
2. Hitler believed all Jewish people were inferior and he blamed them for all the world's problems. He ordered the Nazis to capture all the German Jews and send them to concentration camps. Some Jews were able to hide or escape to other countries, but most had nowhere to go.
3. The Franks were a Jewish family. They left Germany in 1933 and moved to the city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Mr. Frank set up his business with the help of some friends he had there and the family lived a normal life for a while.
4. Then World War II began in 1939. Hitler's soldiers soon invaded the Netherlands (Holland), where the Franks were living. During the war, Jews suffered greatly. They had to register with the government and wear a yellow star on all of their clothing so that everyone would know they were Jewish. Any property or businesses they owned were taken away.
5. All over Europe, Hitler's armies arrested millions of Jews and put them to death. About six million Jews died in what became known as the Holocaust.
6. In 1942, the Franks went into hiding in the attic of a warehouse. On her 13th birthday, Anne received a diary as a present from her father. Mr. Frank was able to retrieve the diary when he returned to the secret attic after the war.
