In fact, at that point, there was a significant rise in minorities facing prejudice in Germany. World War 2 had begun while Anne was just 10 years old. Germany invaded the Netherlands shortly after the war began, which had an impact on Anne and her family as well. Jews were a focus of the Nazis’ persecution. Jews were detained, brutally murdered, or made to flee to barbaric detention camps. Millions of Jews were compelled to flee or hide during this time.
