Parent Guide > Woman Who Helped Anne Frank Dies at 100

This week in class, we’re reading "Woman Who Helped Anne Frank Dies at 100" by Teri Schultz, National Public Radio.

In this interview from NPR, a reporter speaks to the woman who helped to hide Anne Frank's family, risking her own life in the process.

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

"What can we learn from tragedy?", "Can you change your identity?", and "How are we changed by war?"
