Why do you think the Franks, van Daans, and Dussel make a point to celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah?

The Franks, van Daans, and Dussel make a point to celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah because they want to celebrate life amidst the terrible times and death all around them.

Explanation:

In 'The Diary of A Young Girl', Anne Frank writes about the time in hiding when they celebrated two festivals. One of them was Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival celebrated for eight-days in remembrance of the rededication of Jerusalem temple in the Second century B. C.

Even while the Franks, van Daans, and Dussel were in hiding, they celebrated Hanukkah because they wanted to celebrate life. Even though they were surrounded by danger, they wanted to have some moment of joy, and Hanukkah gave them that joy.
