The vegetable man has been picked up and taken away for having Jews in his house.
The man was one of the helpers of the people hiding in the Secret Annex. His arrest was a great blow to the Jews who were hiding in secret places and the man bring food stuff to them. So the man was great loss to them. They didnt get enough food yet but after this incident the amount food intaking was cut short by Anne's mother. They tried to cut breakfast and had porridge and bread for lunch. For dinner they had fried potatoes and possibly once or twice per week vegetable or lettuce and nothing more. This was the pathetic condition which Anne and her family had. As a small girl Anne is worried about their poor condition and the scarcity of food and other materials, but just like a matured girl she determined that ''anything is betterthan being discovered.'' These all shows the perils of being a Jew in Nazi Germany.
2. How were the Jews stereotyped by the Germans society?
During the First World War (1914-1918), Hitler was a soldier in the German army. At the end of the war he, and many other German soldiers like him, could not get over the defeat of the German Empire. The German army command spread the myth that the army had not lost the war on the battlefield, but because they had been betrayed. By a ‘stab in the back’, as it was called at the time. Hitler bought into the myth: Jews and communists had betrayed the country and brought a left-wing government to power that had wanted to throw in the towel.
By blaming the Jews for the defeat, Hitler created a stereotypical enemy. In the 1920s and early 1930s, the defeated country was still in a major economic crisis. According to the Nazis, expelling the Jews was the solution to the problems in Germany.
This political message and the promise to make Germany economically strong again won Hitler the elections in 1932. After he had come to power, the laws and measures against the Jews increased all the time. It ended in the Shoah, the Holocaust, the murder of six million European Jews.
The plight of Jews in Nazi Germany was miserable. Denied citizenship, they were subjected to organized ostracism and seclusion. They were supposed to wear a yellow star, they were banned from trams and forbidden to drive. They had to be indoors by eight O'clock and barred from theatres, Cinemas and other places of entertainment. They could shop only in jewisb shops and could study only in jewish schools. These were the stereotypical condition of Jews in German society.
3. What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews. Explain.
Ans. ''What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews'' we can take these questions in both innocently and seriously. Here Anne as a small girl asks to the world that why people against whole world instead accusing a single Jew '' what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews.'' Anti semitism is the discrimination and prejudice towards jews. There are numerous instances that Anne frank addressing the discrimination done with the jewish people.
Though one or two Jews are accused of doing such an act of treachery, Anne questions why they thrown their arms back at all Jews.
Then Anne said that they were the most oppressed, the unhappiest, perhaps the most pitiful of all peoples of the world.
