Is there a parallel timeline that compares the events of Anne Frank's diary to the movements and major campaigns of Nazi Germany?

by NotARealCop

My sister and I have started reading the diary to my niece and nephew, and they have a ton of questions of why this happened or what caused that to start. Try as I might, I can't find anything that sufficiently explains the events in an understandable way without taking a 15 minute segue.

Is there any kind of...comprehensive side-by-side of both series of events?

http://teacher.scholastic.com/frank/diary.htm is a short summary. I will try to work on a longer answer and get back to you. I think no matter what we find that explanation of the events surrounding the diary will always take a good 15-minute segue anyway, but don't let the complicated history ruin the story!
