Anne Frank was a Jewish victim of the Holocaust known for keeping a diary of her experiences in a concentration camp. Anne was born in 1929 in Germany. She was given a diary for her 13th birthday. Ann started to write about everyday events in her diary, things that might appear trivial like what she ate or arguments she had with her mother. But later her diary helped form a picture of what life was like during this historical period. When the Nazis found eight people from Anne’s family in their hiding place, they sent them to concentration camps. As the conditions in the camp were so poor, Anne and her sister died of a disease called typhus just a few months before World War II ended. Anne’s diary was saved by one of the people who helped her family and returned to her father, Otto Frank, the only survivor in the family. He decided to publish the diary, realizing Anne’s dream of becoming a famous author. Since it was first published, her diary has sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into more than 70 languages. The diary is an important account of how Jewish people were treated by the Nazis. Otto also published his daughter’s diary in the hope that it would raise readers’ awareness of the dangers of prejudice, discrimination, hostility, and hatred against others.

Keith’s day always starts at 5 a.m., seven days a week, 365 days a year. Whether it’s freezing cold or boiling hot, Keith washes the dog kennels, cleans out every rabbit hutch, and makes sure that all the animals have enough food and fresh water. This is the daily routine for the staff at Someland Animal Shelter. No sleeping in is allowed as hundreds of animals rely on them every day of the year! Day in day out, the attendants take care of the animals, ensure they get vaccinated, keep records of their status, and process take-ins and adoptions. They also maintain the facilities and equipment and answer calls to pick up stray or injured animals. Not only is working at animal shelters physically exhausting, but it can also be emotionally draining. Every day, the staff witness abandoned animals suffer and die. Visitors may not always understand their jobs or refuse to listen to their adoption advice, and many a time, bring their old, sick, and dying companions just because they don’t want to face taking care of them. Obviously, these are a part of the staff’s responsibilities, but in the long run, these conditions can lead to burnout and fatigue. What helps the attendants get through these moments is when they can match the right human with the right animal: finally, happy dogs and cats can go home with their delighted new families! Generally speaking, when it comes to animal shelter staff, the cartoon image is of a net-carrying emotionless villain. In fact, people become animal shelter attendants because they genuinely love and enjoy working with animals. So, next time you visit an animal shelter, give a thumbs up to these amazing people!
