"The Diary of a Young Girl": Questioning Humanity's Justice

Although Anne Frank was exposed to the cruel shadow of World War II, she had explored her existence as a woman and questioned the terrible inequality in which she had to suffer from escaping, hiding, and fearing for her life.

Anne Frank, who pays the price not only for being Jewish but also for being a woman, says the following:

Anne Frank rebels against the sharp sense of inferiority felt by patriarchal society to which the female gender is doomed. This rebellion is both for the bloody misery of the war, and for the men who are proud of themselves as a soldier or commanders in this war. Why aren’t all the sacrifices made by a mother for her child seen as heroic? Just why is giving birth not as appreciated as killing? Anne Frank mentions the valuable role of women in the continuation of the human race to ask readers for thinking about how meaningless, weak, and useless the action of killing trying to take a stand against the action of giving birth. It seems to me that Anne Frank escaping from the war with her family and hiding in various secret shelters realizes that the source of her suffering is the brutal reflection of an unjust inequality.

Those who consider themselves strong try to oppress, exploit and even brutally kill those who are seen as weak. What if all the seemingly weak die and the whole world leaves to the so-called strong? Whose salvation would that be? Anne Frank, the voice of children and women forced to be weak, demands only respect from the greedy and ambitious people who actually condemn the world to an eternal curse full of painful wars, sufferings, and poverty.
