In the book "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank, the main character/writer is keeping a diary/journal about her life during the World War 2 period/holocaust. She started off as a pretty happy girl, doing what everyone else would normally, laughing and having fun. A bit later on on the book, though, her family and herself are forced to move to a secret location to help protect themselves from the Anti-Jewish laws put forth by Germany/Hitler. During this time she is still trying to make the best of it, prettying up the walls of their place with posters/pictures they took from their house. The thing is, the Anti-Jewish laws that Hitler put forth are happening again to the Syrian people, although it's not nearly as bad. Our current president, Donald Trump, has recently put forth an executive order to ban Syrians from multiple countries. This executive order has affected "...at least 218 million people... from entering the United States."

In the book The Diary of a Young Girl the Jewish main character, the Holocaust is going on. The events in the book are the same events that happened in real life. All the characters in the book were not happy about the events that happened to them. During World War 2, all of the Jewish people were treated very bad, and in the book they were also treated very bad. For example, the writer in the book stated "Jews must be in doors by eight o'clock and cannot even sit in their own gardens after that hour. Jews are forbidden to visit theaters, cinemas, and other places of entertainment. Jews may not take part in public sports Swimming baths, tennis courts, hockey fields, and other sports grounds are all prohibited." This quote shows only some of the bad ways Jews were treated.
