For this assignment, I had to create fake social media for aa historical person, for some reason my mind went immediately to Anne Frank. She was a teenager and had a diary, she probably would have loved social media if it was a think in the 1940’s. Now I know this is a super serious topic and I don’t by any means think it isn’t, but I tried to make it silly as if a teenager was actually tweeting and posting on Facebook. I have always loved this part of history, in fact it is probably the only park of history that actually interests me, I think it sparked when I read her diary and went to Washington DC and saw the Holocaust Museum. It has also always been a dream of mine to visit the historical annex in Amsterdam.

I think for Anne to have social media back then, she might have not felt so isolated (I mean I can’t blame her). I mean I think if she did have technology and was actively posting, it probably would blow the cover of where her family was with tracking devices logistically but we don’t have to think like that.

I created Anne to be a little sassy, she is a typical teen on social media, bored, obviously. She used her Facebook account as her diary instead of paper and her Twitter to mock the “fans”. Her username is hidden.af, af as in Anne Frank but interpret it as you wish.
