Anne Frank's stepsister Eva Schloss
Posted on 01/28/2016 8:06:30 AM PST by SeekAndFind
In an essay to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Anne Frank's stepsister accused Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump of "acting like another Hitler."
Eva Schloss, now 86, was a friend of Frank's in Amsterdam after their families fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Her mother, Fritzi, would marry Otto Frank, Anne's father, after World War II.
"If Donald Trump become(s) the next president of the U.S. it would be a complete disaster," she told Newsweek on Wednesday. "I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism."
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Schloss survived Auschwitz while Frank and her mother died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and Anne Frank's diary became a famous account of life as a Jewish family under Hitler's Nazi Germany.
Schloss, who lives in London, also criticized the U.S. and Western European governments for their response to the Syrian crisis, likening the refugees' experience in 2016 "to what we went through" in Nazi-controlled Europe.

I feel for her pain and memories however Trump is no where like Hitler (where is his brown shirt mobs beating up people) and secondly the masses of people from the ME are not being herded into camps to be killed, rather they’re given food and shelter of which they feel is inadequate and riot because of it.
Establishment.......
MmmHmmm...Donald Trump...Hitler!...all those Muslim cut throats in Amsterdam and Rotterdam....goooood!
I guess she thinks Hitler wasn’t so bad after all.
Schloss is about to get schlonged
I really don’t give a crap what she thinks.She is entitled to her opinion.I think she’s very wrong.
When you are forced to go for the Hitler comparison, your side has lost the debate.
“Schloss, who lives in London, also criticized the U.S. and Western European governments for their response to the Syrian crisis, likening the refugees’ experience in 2016 “to what we went through” in Nazi-controlled Europe.”
So Jews went around raping people? They were flooding into Germany looking for welfare benefits?
I only am able to read about WW2 Europe, and I’m wondering if this person wasn’t living in Utah at the time and only thinks she knows what happened there, because that is flat-out one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard.
Hitler had better hair.
And a better press agent.
Haven’t heard this old broad’s opinion on Islam, have you?
Oh, and thanks CNN! That’s some fine investigative journalism you did there!
Obviously traumatized beyond reasoning.
Can’t be God’s mistake, must be a human problem.
She does know Muslims were the first to use gold badges to identify Jews?
And their ‘Prophet’ personally beheaded many Jews?
Maybe she missed the memo.
This tells us the European MSM media is just as bad as ours.
Their Only Weapon
A correspondent on Lawrence Auster’s site,
commenting on republican Arkansas Governor Huckabee’s feeling that racism is fueling the anti-immigration sentiment, wrote:
“All he has to do is stand up there, give one inane comment after another and use the word that puts trembling in the hearts of the American people and shut them down. Racist.”
A cartoon I saw recently showed a Mexican-flag-waving illegal snarling at a white man, saying something like “Let me into your prosperous country, you damned racist xenophobe.” It captured perfectly the dynamic involved in the immigration debate: people who have no leverage other than guilt are using it to control us.
What are they going to do the day that white people stop running from that word, “racist”?
I have begun, among my white friends, to acknowledge that I am a racist. I say, “If by racist, you mean that I think there are actual differences, genetic differences, between racial groups that have real consequences, then yes I am a racist. If you mean that I feel more of an affinity for people of my ethnic group, that I feel more comfortable and at home with them, then yes I am a racist. If you mean I put the interests of my people, my ethnic group, ahead of the interests of others just as I put my family’s interests over others, then yes I am a racist. But if by “racist” you mean someone who believes in genocide or slavery or hatred or oppression of other ethnic groups, then no, I am not a racist.”
I sense that many white people have had enough of being bullied with the “racist” label. But there are two ways of handling that accusation. One is to claim that you’re not actually a racist. This is the approach most whites take right now, but it hands all of the power over to the non-white person, who can then act as judge and jury on the evidence to decide whether the white person is a racist or not. The other approach is to say, “yeah, I’m a racist; so what?” There is no answer to that. If you prefer your own people and put their interests ahead of others’ without engaging in hatred or violence, what’s it to them?
Perhaps the non-whites and liberals are flinging the “racist” accusation with such vehemence because they sense that the white majority is losing patience. Their one tool, their one way of controlling white people, is losing its efficacy, so they ramp up the volume and the bitterness to try to keep the upper hand. Their worst nightmare is that white people stop flinching at the word because that will be the day that anti-whites (both non-whites and whites who scorn whiteness) lose their only weapon.
But while we need to assert that we, like every other healthy people on earth, are indeed “racists”, what we want to avoid this time is letting the pendulum swing back the other way into hatred. We don’t want another Hitler. We don’t want burning crosses. We don’t want oppression and injustice. We just want to assert our right to survive as a distinct people and to separate ourselves physically and politically from those who threaten our safety, prosperity, and unique identity.
I wonder if Anne, before she died and after being raped by Nazi guards at the camps, still thought people were good at heart?
She wouldn't even be in the news if she'd said something similar about BO or Hillary's plan to import an unlimited number of Islamofacists from the various failed sandboxes of the world.
Not always, but in this case yes. It's a bogus comparison here.
