My husband always asks me why I watch such sad things and I told him its because it needs to not be forgotten. We need to remember and tell our children and keep peoples stories alive like Anne frank . We owe it to the survivors to to never forget .

Anne Frank has become more than she ever imagined. She wanted to be known as a writer and her father made that dream come true. It is as difficult for me to listen to the information about her as it was to walk through her house when I visited Amsterdam. Her life is an inspiration and a tragedy but remembering her and all those lost in the Holocaust will ensure it will never be allowed to happen again. We must never let it be forgotten. Anne Frank this is your legacy to mankind.

It’s heart breaking to hear about Otto going to the central station daily in hopes his daughters would be coming home

I cannot even imagine Otto's pain after the war! My respects Sir

Imagine being liberated to find that your family is gone. It is unimaginable. That was the fate of so many though.

I still don’t understand how people could be so evil towards others for no reason.

Everyone understands why Anne didn't write nice things about her mother. She was a young teen. She was seeking independence and autonomy and Mom's job is to guide, protect and keep her in line. In those circumstances, with that fear, it must have been an impossible task. If they had the lives they should have have, Anne would have come to appreciate and adore her mother, and we see Edith Frank as who she was....a Mom doing her best like all of us, but who lived the impossible.

"And we waited for news of our family." That says it all.

I visited Anne’s hiding place in the summer of ‘78 before anything had been cordoned off. Ceiling too low in places to stand and an area not much larger than a prison cell for four people. Anne’s story and that of Corrie ten Boom’s book “The Hiding Place” never fail to reduce me to tears. I know it’s because of what happened to this precious little girl, but also by the similarities in what I see happening every day in what we do in little ways to each other. The carnage doesn’t stop and then ironically when it happens to us we become bewildered and enraged.

Outside of the Bible, her Diary is the most widely published and read non fiction book in the World...translated in to over 60 languages!

Every time I hear this story, every single time, I hope it will end differently.

Anne may not be here in person but she stands tall in spirit.

I am so glad that Anne's diary survived the war, but I wish Margot's diary had too. It's so sad that this happened to all those people.

I shall never forget my first trip to Amsterdam and walking through the secret hiding place. Emotion overwhelmed me as I stood in Anne's room, and seeing those photos and clippings on the walls. I felt as though I were trespassing. Despite it being May, I felt ice in my veins as I emerged from the house and found the statue of Anne nearby with red swastikas painted on it. At that time, I still lived in America and that war, something one read about or saw glimpses of in selected and edited newsreels. Sadly, history is repeating itself.

I got a chance to meet Eva and hear her speak and I adore her. ❤ I am also re-reading Annes diary and she really was such an inspiring and amazing young lady. ❤❤❤

My heart breaks for a child who had so much to look forward to. A life taken with so many more Anne Franks. RIP sweet Anne

She wanted to become a writer....and now she's one of the most famous in history ❤ Well done documentary. I am so happy Ava's family and Otto found happiness again.

The story of Eva Schloss, Anne Frank and their families is heart wrenching. Through the survivors, the world came to know the atrocities pelted on them by the Nazis. What terrible twists of fate they faced. Some were lucky to survive the hardships but many were not. RIP to all innocents who did not survive this torcher.

I met Eva Schloss in 2017 in Westerbork where she held a lecture and she also signed my book. It was really emotional meeting her in that former camp from where she was deported to Auschwitz in 1944. The encounter effected me for days after.
