Well, if the son had been willing to do an honest day’s work...
Auntie Maxine might agree.
I remember reading YEARS ago some SCANDAL about MR. Frank.....anyone remember that?
My Jewish MIL told me that Jews are Democrats because there’s too many CHRISTIANS in the Republican Party!!
You do enjoy insulting individuals I see
Do you get the oh-so-subtle “hidden” narrative? Restrictive immigration policies — you know, like the ones Donald Trump espouses — were responsible for the death of sweet, lovable Anne Frank.
There is no memory the communists won’t turn into a tool.
Right before Diary of Anne Frank was about to go off copyright they tried to pull a fast one;
They suddenly claimed that since Anne Frank’s DAD had survived the war and had ALSO contributed a wee little bit of the writing, just a tiny bit, mind you, well, he’s a CO-author, see..?
And $o the book would have to $TAY on copyright.
My, my, how about that, huh..?
A careful reading of the article indicates the Franks’ legal application was subject to a careful vetting process and unfortunately, his records were all destroyed by German bombing of the US Consulate in the Netherlands.
Of course globalists are trying to shame the USA in this article, but I see no guilt whatsoever. Otto Frank himself mentioned the best option was the United States.
The claim was that Anne Frank’s father was a chronic philanderer.
There were also claims he wrote the whole book.
I don’t know the truth of either claim.
What convenient timing for this discovery about a figure whose life has been studied and scrutinized about as much as anybody who has lived over the past century.
He knew what NAZI Germany was doing and how horrendously they were treating the Jews because William Dodd, the US Ambassador, that FDR had personally chosen and sent to Berlin (1933 - 1937), along with his family bore witness to their ever increasing plight and persecution first hand and repeatedly reported his findings to FDR and begged him to put pressure on NAZI Germany, and to allow Jewish refugees to be admitted to the United States... FDR did nothing to ease their suffering!
Instead FDR and his administration castigated the U.S. Ambassador to Berlin for bringing the issue up in reports and for asking the President to intervene.
Because of his position concerning the Jews eventually it became too dangerous for Ambassador Dodd and his family to remain in Berlin. That, coupled with the reality of the staunch opposition he received from FDR and his administration concerning the fearful plight of the Jews led the Ambassador to Berlin to return to the United States.
Erik Larson wrote a historically accurate account of Ambassador Dodd's service in Berlin entitled:
"In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin."
The book, cites multitudes of their first hand accounts and source documents and verifies what I have stated above.
Simply put; FDR knew what was happening to the Jews, and did nothing.
Plenty of anti-semitic Republicans at the time as well.
The typical dim loves FDR no matter what.
Since when is news propaganda?
FDR was a foul little man. He was a wanna-be tyrant, stopped do to ill health and a robust system of government that stopped him (and probably also the Second Amendment, followed by the First).
Since when is news propaganda?
—
Because this isn’t news . . . it’s nothing BUT propaganda, designed to pull on people’s heartstrings because some poor little girl died nearly 75 years because big, bad America didn’t let the poor, suffering immigrant Frank family into the United States.
It’s nothing more than a silly, cynical and transparent attempt to relate historical events to the left’s current whine-du-jour.
But prior to the war, America was still in the Depression and didn’t have jobs for the citizens here. After the large influx of immigrants between the later 1800s and WWI, immigration was by law put “on hold” to allow for assimilation. This was also true of other western nations, including Canada.
I wouldn’t spend a lot of breath defending FDR. He knowingly sent jews back to the Nazis. Its Democrat history. Let Democrats defend it.
Funny how this is coming out now when the US and Europe are dealing with refugees, 'migrants', and 'immigrants' illegally entering the US and Europe.
I guess we now have to save every Anne Frank and family.
Read the historical record detailed in the book for yourself:
Throughout the entire time of Ambassador Dodds service in Berlin (1933 - 1937) There isn't a single communique, personal or diplomatic message, citing "the depression" as a reason for denying the Jews refugee status, not one.
Ambassador Dodd, and his family saw and personally experienced what was happening to the Jews throughout his time of service in Berlin. They where physically present in Berlin, literally in the heart of the beast as these events were taking place.
Time and time again Ambassador Dodd accurately portrayed the dangerous, ever worsening conditions for the Jews in Berlin and throughout Nazi Germany and plead with FDR and his administration to act on their behalf. He communicated this information to FDR, Washington and the diplomatic corps in writing, and in person ...FDR did nothing.
Eventually, Ambassador Dodd was forced to leave Berlin in 1937. And the rest, concerning the fate of the Jews throughout Nazi Germany and Nazi occupied territory, is history.
Meh. FDR was a vicious racist. The law permitted immigration at the time as directed by the executive branch. He chose to exclude Jews.
This reflects on no one but liberal democrat FDR.
Now, it does show a continuing antisemitic pattern in the democrat party.
Nothing more.
