Parent Guide > Who Was Anne Frank?

This week in class, we’re reading "Who Was Anne Frank?" by The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

This informational text explores the events of World War II as experienced by Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl whose life was permanently changed by the war.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Death and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How do people face death?" and "How are we changed by war?"
