Introduction

Introduction

Victor Kugler was born on July 6, 1900 and died December 14, 1981. He had two spouses during his lifetime(Lucie van Langen and Laura Maria Buntenbach-Kugler). He was overall a very serious man. Mr. Kugler helped the Franks in two ways. First, by keeping them safe in the Annex. Secondly by keeping Mr. Frank's company (business) in his hands instead of giving it to the Nazis. Additionally, he was the one who came up with the "secret bookcase" idea to keep the Franks hidden well.

Interview (part 2)

Planned Conclusion

conclusion

Mr. Kugler impacted the world in a lot of ways. He impacted the world by showing acts of kindness by taking care of the people in the Secret Annex. Furthermore, that means much more than just kindness. Such as understanding people’s situation and putting himself in their shoes. We can do that by simple things at school and in the public as well. For example, we can volunteer at a food shelter or spend time with the elderly. As a conclusion, simple things can create things that are priceless. Your time is the most precious thing that you can give to someone. And that is what Victor Kugler did.

-Enrico

Mr. Kugler was a great person. He helped several people that had a dire need of help. Those people that he hid in that Annex would not have made it as long as they did without him. He gave up his time and also risked his life for them. And it was not easy for him. He was stressed much of the time. I think that he showed that not only bad things happened in the Holocaust. There were some really good people that worked to stop the evil happening and save people. He also at the end of his life spread the Anne Frank diary around the world so people could know what happened at this time.
