in the text? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answer and Explanation:

Hello. You did not say what is the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

As you may already know, Anne Frank, was a Jewish girl killed during the Holocaust and who had her diary published, becoming one of the most famous books in the world. Anne achieved success with her book, but she was not alive to see it happen, but the triumph of her writings represents the triumph of the countless children who also died in the holocaust and did not have a chance to fulfill their dreams.

When the author shows this, he wants to reinforce the cruelty of the holocaust and the ability to silence Jews that was hindered by the words of Anne Frank, and it is likely that this is a theme of the text.
