I'm currently reading the Diary and honestly it really hit me when she was describing going through puberty locked up in that annex. That's such a special moment for adolescents when you start to discover who you are, who you like, when girls and boys begin to flirt with their crushes, and she was couped up with a bunch of grouchy grownups when she should have been out having fun with her friends. I've never been to Amsterdam but I took a virtual tour with my VR headset, and it really brought the book to life being able to explore the Annex.

[@tamaramorton8812]

Her book was assigned reading to me in school when I was about her age when she wrote in her diary. Reading about her thoughts and her thoughtfulness about her life encouraged me to do the same. I happened to go to Amsterdam about 15 years ago and visited her house and her room. It was surreal. But the thing that touched me the most was looking at the same tree, that she wrote about, that was outside her window. I remembered the hope that she had looking outside at that tree. I felt sad for her and close to her that her hopes were never realized, except posthumously.

Anne's book should have upset you. It should upset everyone who reads it. My grandmother grew up in Berlin. We are not Jewish, but she had Jewish friends and neighbors. She actually remembered when Jewish stores were closed and her friends weren't allowed to visit her anymore or go to school. Her father, my great-grandfather, saw what was happeining and moved his family to Switzerland right before the war started. Learning about the terrible things people can do to one another just because they are different is important. When we are no longer upset by events like the Holocaust, then we will have completely lost our humanity.

And countless others. My own father saved hundreds of Poles, Russians and French from starvation only 300 meters from the Berlin Reichstag. He was sent there for forced labour from the Netherlands and was the only "arier" (man of the right race) in the factory. So, he was allowed to go into the city and not beyond. He forged a lot of food stamps and the only thing he did in his free time is to collect food from those falsified stamps all over Berlin (not too much from one shop, to stay undercover). He then gave the food to the other factory workers. He survived the war (otherwise I would never be writing this of course), with huge luck. The man had several angels on his shoulder. He must have had dozens of angels to preserve him.

[@andin916]

@ right? How would she know, when obviously the nurse wouldn’t have called her to let her know…. And why would she return AFTER? That seems so weird, like asking to be arrested. She was the only one that didn’t get caught, the call was a woman, she returned to the scene, she knew they were coming… and no one even questioned that? 🤔

Although we did read Anne Frank's diary in elementary school, there were really no details of the Holocaust discussed in any of my schools, throughout the 1960s and early 1970s.

Ich glaube, man hat das Tagebuch des armen Mädchens angepasst und es vermarktet zu geht nicht mehr. Ein Tagebuch ist ja auch stimmungsabhängig, und Gefühle können jederzeit schwanken. Ich hätte das Tagebuch meiner Tochter damals nie gelesen, wenn sie nicht misslungene Selbstmordversuche gemacht hätte. Nun ist sie 38 und ich glaube ihr, wenn sie sagt, diese Gefahr besteht nicht mehr.

[@erikak2044]

Das tut mir leid und ich wünsche Ihrer Familie viel Glück. Ich habe gehört, daß Tagebuch von Anne Frank soll eine Fälschung sein, da es Unstimmigkeiten in der Schriftart und der Verwendung von unterschiedlichen Schreibstiften gab. Mal mit Bleistift geschrieben mal mit Kugelschreiber (gab ist die zu dieser Zeit schon?) Ich bin 74 Jahre und 1956 haben wir erst auf Schiefertafeln geschrieben, dann mit Bleistift und später mit Tintenfueller. Mittlerweile weiß ich, daß wir in vielem belogen wurden und werden.

Her sister died

[@BarbaraJoanneBJ]

This story is SO important, BUT, it IS annoying this woman is referred to as her sister. She is not. She was Mr. Frank’s stepdaughter and, I do believe, was an adult when her mother married him. I wish she would not imply she was Anne’s sister. There is, sadly, a grifting feel to it.

Her death made her work and life imortal in a way. Sadly Imlisrened to my arabic coleges and didn't went to see her house, they said it was empty, they didn't understad, nor did I. When all be visiting again, I will go and her house.

Her sister died before Anne did.

Did you watch the video? Half sister. Many people refer to step-sisters as sisters.

Her mother and sister died before she did in the concentration camp.

Thanks for this ❤

[@esthero.torres2738]

These people suffered so much. I hope that we learn that this can happen to anyone of us. Modern time seems to not learn what suffering really is. May God help us all. May Anne her family and all those that suffered be a peace.

La sorella di Anna Frank è morta pochi giorni prima di lei. Non scrivete titoli ingannevoli

[@margaretpalmer6538]

I remember my seventh grade teacher reading the diary of Anne Frank. I’ve read so much since then fascinated me I hadn’t heard a thing about it before that I am now 77.

[@potterymom1]

My young daughter asked me "How could this have happened?"

There are quite a few books written about Anne and her family, but Anne's diary is excellent. Anne's grasp of grammar and vivid descriptions are so mature for someone so young. I was curious, however, when I read the title of this vid, as Anne's sister Margot died in the concentration camp. In fact, the sisters were in the same camp together. I visited the Anne Frank house twice, it was truly a solemn experience. According to the father's wishes, the house was left to this day, exactly how he found it after his release when the war ended; the house was stripped bare by the Germans. I have always wondered who betrayed the family.

Never Never again

[@yiddena]

Thank you. Us Jewish people appreciate this sentiment!

[@margaret-pb6mt]

The click bate is misleading. Anne Frank’s sister died in the concentration camp. They were together when they died. I have watch many videos of this time and particularly of Anne.. I never heard she had a step sister. I’m skeptical about this being true.

[@hasvini5092]

same i never heard fo himhaving step sister.

[@andreagriffiths3512]

Anne’s father remarried. Anne and Margot had a posthumous step sister. It’s a well known fact.

[@valeriegoogins8821]

Did they mean her step sister…she wrote a book, her name was Eva Schloss, her mother married Otto after the liberation. Very good book!

[@Uknowho9967]

I read her diary in the 5th grade. As a colored person I really felt like I was so connected with her. She was a very significant influence and narrative writer.

[@michelehansen1653]

Her sister died in the camps, only her father survived! Get it right, this beautiful young girl is with Jesus and God now !

[@janecopher4734]

Anne Frank only had one sister. Her family consisted of her mother and father, as well as her cousin and sister. Anne only had one sister, who's name was Margot. Margot died along with Anne at the Bergen-Belson concentration camp in 1945. Her father Otto Frank published his daughter Anne Frank's diary in Dutch in 1947. Otto was the only member of the Frank family to survive the Holocaust. This woman Eva was not Anne's sister, but probably knew her at the camp. Anne and Margot contracted typhus. In February 1945 they both died owing to its effects, Margot first, Anne shortly afterwards.

[@callanightshade8079]

I think they're referring to Anne's stepsister Otto remarried at some point afterwards to the mother of one of Anne's friends

[@michellecrocker2485]

, I often wonder how she would have treated her stepmother if she had survived. Otto was a prime stepdad for Eva, Otto liked being a father figure for someone.

[@callanightshade8079]

I don't doubt it was a way to help Otto heal. He lost his entire family and it seems like he was given a second chance at life. A motivation to keep moving forward after fulfilling Anne's dream for her

[@michellecrocker2485]

@ there was also the fact that he was good with kids. He was his daughters’ favorite parent. He helped them and Peter with their studies, Anne’s friends had nothing but good things to say about him and in the documentary “ Anne Frank Remembered “, a man who had been a boy at the same camp as Otto recalled Otto asking him to call him “Papa” saying “ I need someone to call me papa “.

[@gabia.6213]

Which sister? No one survived, just father...

[@susaneward974]

Step sister. Her father remarried after the war.

[@Canuckmom128]

The Title is click bait, and annoying. Anyone who knows the story knows Anne’s older Sister died a week or two before Anne. A missed opportunity.

[@marjorieroswell]

Eva's mother, Elfriede Geiringer, married Otto Frank, Anne's father, in 1953. (This union made Eva and Anne stepsisters, though they never lived together.)

[@ednaatluxton4918]

Daughter of Annes dads second marriage years after anne was gone. She has no first hand knowledge as she wasnt there. Anne's dad married her mom for money then became rich from her diary but he made sure to leave out the bad parts about him in the publishing.

why? what was about?

[@FlowerPowerChild1904]

My family was one of the families who fled, first to the UK in 1933 and then immigrated to New Zealand in 1947.

[@ronaldkaim2284]

heading is very misleading. I said to myself, how can Anne Franks sister breaks her silence when her sister was also killed in a concentration camp. after seeing the video, the heading should say Anne Franks step sister.

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

Anne's father was Otto Frank. When I was young, Otto Frank was thought to have written the diary. The writing does not look to be of a young girl.

[@patriciawilliamsn9605]

This is a wonderful documentary. It really brought Anne in to life. I loved her book when I read it many years ago.

[@islot40]

I'm confused by your heading. This woman isn't her sister but her friend.

[@islot40]

Oh I see. She became a a step-sister after Anne's death.

[@myrastevens7098]

Beautifully told.

[@eedwards5129]

Sorry, she is not her sister, in fact she never even so much as met Anne. Her mother married Anne and Margot's father in 1953 when Eva was well into her 20s.
