Anne Frank May Not Have Been Betrayed
Newser ^ | December 17, 2016 | Rob Quinn

The answer to the question "Who betrayed Anne Frank" may be "Nobody," according to to new research. A study released by the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam Friday says that the hiding place of the Jewish teenager and her family may instead have been found by chance when Nazi security forces raided the building investigating forced ration cards or illegal employment, the BBC reports.

That blogger’s signoff might be a clue that using a different source may be a better idea:
“Hail victory,
Der Himmelstern”

Perhaps the most unsettling,spooky,experience of my life was when I visited the Daucau Museum.It was a cold,dreary,rainy day in March which,IMO,is just about the most fitting time to visit a place like that.

And just the other day I saw a video by Robert Clary,who played "Le Beau" in Hogan's Heroes,about his experiences in a concentration camp.

And then there's "Schindler's List".

I took a look at the link you posted, and I think it’s a bit of a stretch. They source a New York Times article in order to call the Anne’s diary a “fraud”.

But the NYT article itself only says that Anne’s father is being called a co-author only for legal (copyright) reasons.

I further mistrust that link as its article is ended with “Hail victory”. That’s rather odd, to say the least.

Never seen the film. Such horrific times. There was a TV movie, probably watchable on Youtube, in the 70s called “Holocausst” that was quite good.

Also - all the swastikas on the page are, as the man once said, “a dead giveaway”.

“Schindler’s List” is worth the time to watch. Disturbing...yes. But it has a message of hope and portrays a real hero.

Steve Reich’s song “Different Trains” is a depiction of the Holocaust. There’s a striking line where an actual survivor says “and then he said ‘don’t breathe!’” I often think of this when trying to teach my children the importance of absolute instant obedience, not as domination but as survival. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the Frank children, not understanding the absolute need for silence, made a noise at a dangerous moment.

May our own understand the imperative liberty & rights, ensuring would-be tyrants never send soldiers to kill children.

Yes, Holocaust was very good. Michael Moriarty played a reluctant Nazi major. It was well done..

Never seen the film (Schindler’s List). Such horrific times.

The movie is incredible. But even more incredible is the life of Oskar Schindler himself. He went from being just another opportunistic Nazi to being one of the greatest humanitarians of the era. He risked his life, and bargained away his fortune, to save his Jews.

In 1963 the Israeli government named Schindler 'Righteous Among the Nations'. Very well-deserved.

I’ll have to give it a watch. I tend to avoid movies that are depressing. Documentaries are a different matter.

This is one of my favorite movies. The acting of Branagh and Tucci was spectacular; the idea that the murder of millions of people was handled at such a short bureaucratic meeting as this is breathtaking on a basic sinister level.

I very much enjoyed "Schindler's List" but "Conspiracy" shows the nuts-and-bolts beginning of murder on a scale that could only be imagined by the participants to it.

“Michael Moriarty”

An odd bird, but a great actor. He was good in “Holocaust”, the overall casting was pretty decent.

The final quote from your disgusting site.

“I truly hope this new victory of truth will open the eyes of many about
the true nature of Judaism. It is not moral, it is a barbaric ideology of supremacy, hatred and lies.
Well be to you all,
Hail victory,

Der Himmelstern”

I’ll check it out. I was just reading the other day that one of the original plans was to relocate the Jews to an island (African?).
