BACKGROUND
This is a true story．It took place in Amsterdam, Holland in the early 1940s after the German Nazis had occupied most of Europe．The Nazi Party ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945．One of their key policies was to kill all the Jews in Europe．If any persons known to be Jews were found, they would be sent to concentration camps farther east, mostly in Poland．Families were separated and transported in trains．For many days, they went without food, water, sanitation or fresh air．To avoid this terrible fate, some Jewish families went into hiding, often with the help of non-Jewish friends．This is what Anne\'s family did when Margot was told she must go to the railway station to be taken to a camp．Another Jewish family joined them in their hiding place in the attic of a house．It was very crowded there．Only three young people were there: Margot, Peter and, of course, Anne．Her diary shows that Anne felt she was the naughty one of the group since she was always being scolded．She felt she could not confide in Margot because her sister was always good．And she felt she could not confide in Peter because he was a boy．So she made a friend of her diary．Later, however, she did become closer to Peter and they took a liking to one another．Anne talks about their growing friendship in her diary．

SPECIAL NOTE: Many older houses in Amsterdam have more than one floor．The topmost floor is called an”attic? which is usually a place to store seldom-used things．Amsterdam is the capital of Holland, now more commonly called the Netherlands．The city lies near the sea and has many narrow man-made canals．The house where Anne\'s family hid was by a canal and bridge．Like most old houses in the city, it had two apartments on each floor: one set facing the canal and the other looking onto a garden．Anne\'s apartment faced the garden．Anne and her family hid there for over two years before they were discovered．They were taken to concentration camps in Poland where all of them died except Mr Frank．The house is now a museum for Anne．The primary school she attended in Amsterdam is now named after her．Every year she is remembered in a travelling exhibition that explains her life．

WARMING UP
The purpose of this part of the unit is to introduce the topic to the students in an interesting way．To \"Warm up\" means to do a bit of preparation for a large learning task．In particular, the students should begin to think about the topic．
This section of this unit begins with a survey．A survey is a way of finding out what people think and feel about a particular subject．This survey examines whether the students are good friends．In doing so, it should make them consider what qualities and behaviour make a good friend．This survey only considers a view of friendship common to people of the same age．It should be noted that this is the first of many activities designed for self-reflection in this textbook． |
