Predicting Students read the title of the passage and observe the pictures and the outline of it to guess: Who is Anne’s best friend? What will happen in the passage?

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(卫生设备) 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 (顶楼)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.
