I took my entire family to see the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam. It was hearet wrenching. You realize this didn't happen 1,000 years ago, but almost just yesterday.

You see the Monopoly game she played to pass the time, the wallpaper in the rooms, where she boiled water, etc. It makes this tragedy come alive.

My mom was likewise moved when she saw it.

One film that had a very profound effect on me was "The Diary of Anne Frank". I was only twelve or thirteen years old when I viewed it which made me relate even more to the life of a fourteen year old child.

I had heard the normal short history versions of the Holocaust at school, but watching that film made it real for me. I remember crying when the family was discovered by the Nazis. Something a young teenage boy would hate to admit.

Understanding what one family went through during that time in history emphasizes the total madness of what occurred.

If any story puts an exclamation on the phrase "Never Again!", it's Anne Frank's.

Thank you for posting this.

The mayor of Amsterdam, Job Cohen is a total dhimmi, paving the way for the Islamization of first Amsterdam, and Holland.

History lesson learned. People don't learn

Can anyone today, imagine being locked up in a confined place with teenagers, for any length of time. The Horrors!

"I took my entire family to see the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam. It was hearet wrenching."

I've seen it myself, several years ago, and it was definitely heart wrenching.

Remember when people used to say "Never Again" and actually meant it?

Now they say "Never Again...in western Europe."

Saw Anne Frank on Broadway. After the play the father walked out onto the stage. It was a moment I will never forget.

For many years afterwards I would shake at the sound of the authorities coming up to the house. That high/low sound of the police sirens.

To this day I can hear in my mind the sound of the boots storming up the stairs to their hiding place.

She sounds totally normal. Is there any parent of a teenager who hasn't had a conversation like this with his child? Is there any teenager who hasn't said this sort of thing to her parents? Poor little girl! It's amazing that, under the stressful circumstances and crowded conditions, there weren't far, far more difficulties in the family.
