You’re not exactly encouraging to those who have no choice.....And why is it all those who think people who are choosing to protect themselves shouldn’t also have that same choice as you do do your own thing without the heavy criticisim? Do you get some sort of sadistic pleasure doing so?
I’ve toured Anne’s annex, the very rooms they hid in for so long.
Everyone in there had to be absolutely quiet during business hours so as not to alert the warehouse workers below that someone was in what was thought to be a vacant part of the building.
It was worst early in the morning before the normal warehouse noises started up. They didn’t dare move, or even run water because someone may hear it draining through the pipes, which ran through the warehouse.
Nights and weekends they had it a little better, but not much. Then, they could do things like flush the toilet, and even walk around.
It’s thought, but not proven, that someone ratted them out to the Nazis. After all that, Anne and everyone who lived there except her father died before the end of the war. Anne died of typhoid in Bergen-Belsen only a few weeks before the allies liberated the camp.
Like my mom (who was about the same age as Anne) used to say, “cry when there’s something to cry about”.
If you’re ever in Amsterdam, I highly recommend touring Anne’s house. It moved me.
One other thing though, the Frank house had no Netflix, but they did get their food delivered.
Friends of the family and some employees or Anne’s dad smuggled it to them. So there’s that.
