Instructions

We often hear news of wars and violence around the world, realizing that many people suffer and live in fear. How does this make you feel? During World War II, Anne Frank, a 13-year-old Jewish-German, was saddened by the suffering and death of millions of Jews and people from other nations, known as the Shoah. Anne, also a victim, is now a symbol of unity for people of all backgrounds. Her message of hope and the fight for freedom lives on through her diary, inspiring resistance to discrimination, war, and oppression.

  • Draw the Star of David, and around the angles of these two triangles, write the names of people or countries suffering from war, racism, unfair imprisonment and prejudice.
  • Place the candle in the middle of the star and pray for the strength to fight for the freedom of suffering and oppressed people.
