Straight to the comments:
“I think the saddest part about Anne Frank is that she was just months away from surviving. That always hit me the hardest, knowing that she got so close, yet so far.”
“Anne would be 94 today if she had survived the war and lived a long life. My mother is 98 and still living and I know older people than that.”
“The fact that this informant was Jewish himself and forced to betray Anne in order to save his own family’s lives… it’s honestly one of the most chilling and disturbing things I’ve ever heard.”
“Calling him a traitor in every other sentence is inconsiderate to say the least, we can't know the horrors these people lived through.”
“Anyone who thinks if they were in the shoes of the other, would not have betrayed Anne, knows little about the human condition. It is a tragedy on all fronts.”
“She died in Bergen Belsen. She died from typhus. And she was betrayed for 7,50 guilders. That's about 3 euro's. And the people who lived in what is now called the Anne Frank house were on the last transport that went out of the Netherlands. They got so close it is heartbreaking.”
