Adolf Hitler
Hitler was an extremely intelligent man. He was super patient because he waited a LLLLLOOOOOOOONNGGGGGGGGG time to get Germany to believe him and make him ruler, and possibly let him kill all those people. He had loads and loads of power because Germany was very weak and needed someone who would make them strong again so they were super gullible and Hitler fooled them. -

Germany declares war, people are super happy because they wanted to go to war. Kind of like a party. End of of the war they lost, so they were probably not happy -

Einsatzgruppen: mobile killing Squads or "Action kommandos"
As the army advanced into the Soviet Union, these groups would round up Jews from the newly occupied areas and kill them... usually by shooting. By 1942-42, the Nazis moved away from the Einsatzgruppen or "mobile killing units" and planned to use death camps. Stopped because they found easier ways to kill them. Easier than sending people to shoot them. It could have been hard to find all Jews too. Also, they were wasting bullets by killing people during a war and using lots of bullets for this. -
Anne Frank's family goes into hiding
Anne Frank's family went into hiding because it was the beginning of the Holocaust. After Jews started losing privileges, Adolf Hitler somehow managed to get Jews to be spotted and killed.

Mr.Frank returns to Annex and finds Anne's diary.
When Mr.Frank comes back, there is a scene of disarray showing that someone has been there looking for something and out quickly.
