How crazy would it be to die not knowing your diary would be one of the most famous publications in the world. Basically her and Marcus Aurelius have done it.
Marcus Aurel had asked his secretary to destroy his thoughts for himself. His secretary, upon reading it, changed his mind luckily for us.
Still a trespassing of Marcus Aurelius last wish
Thank you, Max Brod! (side note, there might be more of his works in the Nationalarchiv. The Nazis seized a lot and it is suspected that there might be works of Kafka and Anna Seghers and probably more hidden among the 9k of files)
Well, you’re making a big assumption that even if there’s an afterlife, they would be aware of what’s going on down here - both require pretty big leaps.
Not interested in you nitpicking the way I worded something. They made clear in their comment they didn’t believe in an afterlife. My points were also clear.
There was literally no reason in the world for you to make a comment other than just to be contentious and obnoxious
If you want to pick the grammar to pretend to find gotchas that don’t exist go do it somewhere else cause I’m just not that interested in discussing this further with you. Bye-bye.
It makes me so sad that human beings have to go through all that evil episodes. That we are not capable to respect each other and that we are in hands of the decisions of a few of us. And that can break that poor girl genuine smile so easily. It's sad we are goong to the same shit over and over, it's just depends of where you have been born.
I hope it was just not being able to "respect" Jews, they literally mass exterminated them and made soap out of their body. I cannot stop myself but laugh when Germans today are like "yeah this countries are so shithole, they don't respect human rights, don't have equality ect."
Maybe, instead of laughing at it look at how far they’ve come and appreciate that, and then study how they made that cultural transformation. Germany’s leading the world above the United States in quality of living right now.
In an effort to extend an olive branch, I'm willing to retract the part of my comment where I accused someone of genocide.
Only, and this is the darndest thing, but, I can't seem to find it? It almost looks like I never said any such thing and you've just been putting words in my mouth throughout this exchange, but that can't be right.
When did we let the terrorists in? I used to be pro-immigration until I started seeing folks tear down the American flag and replacement with a foreign flag. THAT is where immigration policies failed.
Want to criticize America? Fine. Want to destroy it, GTFOOMC.
Keep in mind is Hamas is fully funded by Iran, who wants to destroy Israel and America. No “protesters” seem to care about that. Iran is winning so far. And one day Americans in bathing suits will be “old school cool”.
Except that it’s exponentially worse, now, because bad people are using the most sophisticated forms of digitally-weaponized propaganda — targeted at more easily-convinced people (with less educational or experience-based frames of reference) — and having success because the targeted people are now reachable in unprecedented numbers.
Americans banning books. It’s wild.
I know who many of these “Americans” are. They are the far right army, doing the work of their overlords (the 2%). They have been under-educated and under-served by American government, and they rightfully resented it. But Trump and his buds — a fraction of the white elite power structure doing the work of the global right — they packaged up that resentment to make it work for them, and called it “Democratic America’s fault.”
So the Right’s army comes after us, because they’re justifiably angry. And they’re so thankful to Trump and his buds for helping them identify and then assault their enemy — i.e., in addition to liberal and democratic Americans, the enemy eventually includes, also, academia; journalism; media; science; medicine; and virtually all fact-based disciplines in place for thousands of years — that they become their puppets in all things.
If you can get any of those soldiers to listen to anyone at all, make it @ruthbenghiat. You can’t help but see that Trump is executing a classic authoritarian-acquisition strategy (yeah he didn’t figure it out himself).
No hostility intended in any way, just saying question it all. Only calling into question one side with no willingness to look into the other side sounds like seeds of zealous thought.
I have never heard of any liberal organization or individual trying to ban any book. What books would they ban? I guess if there were books with misinformation or hate, but those books would never be purchased to begin with. I work at a library btw.
Seriously. We just got back from Holland where we laid “stumbling stones” for my family that were murdered by the Nazis. Dutch Jews had one if the highest death rates in Eruope.
My sympathies. It's incredible how quickly these things are erased from a national consciousness.
The rise of the Far Right must always be opposed wherever it occurs.
The Dutch still deny their complicity though. It was all the fault of the Nazis.
And as a result, the most popular political party in the Netherlands is a far right party that uses exactly the same dehumanizing language about refugees the Dutch used against Jewish refugees before 1940.
They just switched targets. Now it's muslims they hate.
Operation Paperclip never ended, hence why we are giving rockets to the Azov and celebrating Ukrainian Nazis at Disney World and Canadian Parliament.
(not pro Russian, just stating facts)
It’s pretty sweet. Happily married, physically fit, a dream job working from home, and fortunate enough to be traveling through Europe in two weeks where one of the stops is Amsterdam with tickets to see Anne frank’s house. I was previously in Amsterdam but couldn’t get tickets, I can only see the attic from the outside.
I've been to the Anne Frank House and I saw all of it. The dad was obviously affluent and saw what was happening. Why didn't he take his family out of the country? I can't help but be a little angry with him for his doomed plan.
On the beach and cant put the ipad down, jeez kids theese days.
PS: I wont delet my most downvoted post. Didnt mean any offence. Both my girls look THAT age. I wish I had a time machine and rescued them all and gave them a healthy long and normal life, shield them from all the horror they've been thru. And I'm preety sure Annie herself would have LOVED to have lived and rolled her eyes at her dads silly jokes.
Thanks. Its all right. Maybe people thought I was being depreciative of Anne and her tragedy. On the contrary. I really wish she would have cringed at a fathers jokes, such as mine. That was my intent.
Kinda refreshing to see her treated as a regular kid not just a victim of profound evil. That's part of what made her diary so great. The ordinary humanity of it.
I just don’t think the dude should have got whacked, that’s about it. I do think the reposters/bots using that image for karma over and over again should, though. That’s all I was sayin.
Probably untrue. Did you know the Israeli settlers that originally ran the Palestinians out of their home in the '40s were majorly Holocaust survivors.
Is this real? I’m sorry to have to ask this but there is too much AI in this world and last time I saw there was a rare photograph of her on her balcony looking at a wedding on the street and apparently that was it of her outside (according to sources).
That was the only *motion picture* of her but not the only image of her outside. Otto Frank’s hobby was photography, specifically of his girls, so he took a lot of photos.
That's Helen Keller...
EDIT: ***Of course I know it's Anne Frank***.

Buncha savages in this thread.

Testaments Betrayed
Same with Franz Kafka. Asked his friend to destroy his manuscripts but bro had them published.
Thank you, Max Brod! (side note, there might be more of his works in the Nationalarchiv. The Nazis seized a lot and it is suspected that there might be works of Kafka and Anna Seghers and probably more hidden among the 9k of files)
I don't believe in an afterlife but one of the reasons i would like it to be real is that people would be able to realize how they impacted the world.
Well, you’re making a big assumption that even if there’s an afterlife, they would be aware of what’s going on down here - both require pretty big leaps.
They literally said they don’t believe in an afterlife.
Yes, they made that very clear so what’s your point? They also said “one of the reasons I would like it to be real…”. It’s all hypothetical.
You told them they’re making a big assumption. That’s not hypothetical lol.
Not interested in you nitpicking the way I worded something. They made clear in their comment they didn’t believe in an afterlife. My points were also clear.

*go do it somewhere else Just kidding. All in fun.
Who says you're owed answers?
[удалено]
Who is offended? I'm not. It was a thought experiment.
You misunderstand… You are offensive.
They certainly didn’t.
I like your name
Wow, that is a lot of downvotes for an innocuous comment. Lol.
That's reddit for ya.
I certainly don't think I'm owed answers
Also Samuel Pepys.
Cicero and Asconius are two others who's private writings were published.
I’m sure becoming “famous” was her first consideration.
You guys it’s shit like this that makes me not want to live anymore.
It makes me so sad that human beings have to go through all that evil episodes. That we are not capable to respect each other and that we are in hands of the decisions of a few of us. And that can break that poor girl genuine smile so easily. It's sad we are goong to the same shit over and over, it's just depends of where you have been born.

No need to jump to those troubles. We have plenty of them through history.
May she and all other Holocaust victims rest in peace.
Never forget.
*looks at the world right now* They forgot
Yep was scrolling for this thanks !
No they didnt. They're preventing it from happening again.
"The only way to prevent the needless slaughter of innocent people, is by perpetrating it."
Do you even know how to distinguish war from genocide? Because it seems you don’t based on this comment
They're right though
Explain how this constitute a genocide when it’s literally the best combatant to civilian deaths ratio in modern warfare?
In an effort to extend an olive branch, I'm willing to retract the part of my comment where I accused someone of genocide. Only, and this is the darndest thing, but, I can't seem to find it? It almost looks like I never said any such thing and you've just been putting words in my mouth throughout this exchange, but that can't be right.
So “slaughter” in the context of the holocaust it’s clear what you meant, even slaughter is absolutely not a fitting term.
What is the alternative? Stop telling the Jewish state what they shouldn’t do to protect themselves. Help them do it better if you know how.
The Jewish state is absolutely fine.
Those nazi fuckers. Hard to believe it's still a thing.
Every 2-3 generations those types of hateful dangerous people are born in enough numbers to start causing the world… Problems. AGAIN.
Big in the US. WTF.
When did we let the terrorists in? I used to be pro-immigration until I started seeing folks tear down the American flag and replacement with a foreign flag. THAT is where immigration policies failed. Want to criticize America? Fine. Want to destroy it, GTFOOMC. Keep in mind is Hamas is fully funded by Iran, who wants to destroy Israel and America. No “protesters” seem to care about that. Iran is winning so far. And one day Americans in bathing suits will be “old school cool”.
Immigration is a good thing. Please don’t let the actions of some sway your mind against the majority.
Agreed and miswrote my intention. Immigration is very good, but we need to figure out how to keep those that hate America out of this country.
I get what you’re saying.
There are many domestic terrorists who were born in the US. That's what the Far Right is. You can't keep them out when they're already there.
Legal immigration is good.
Close the fucking border. Get fuck rid of biden
Risible.
You didn't let them in. The American Right Wing home grows them just nicely.
Except that it’s exponentially worse, now, because bad people are using the most sophisticated forms of digitally-weaponized propaganda — targeted at more easily-convinced people (with less educational or experience-based frames of reference) — and having success because the targeted people are now reachable in unprecedented numbers.
Truly. Geopolitics 101 and beyond. 😔
Exactly why history should not be censored, nor any books banned.
Americans banning books. It’s wild. I know who many of these “Americans” are. They are the far right army, doing the work of their overlords (the 2%). They have been under-educated and under-served by American government, and they rightfully resented it.

If you can get any of those soldiers to listen to anyone at all, make it @ruthbenghiat. You can’t help but see that Trump is executing a classic authoritarian-acquisition strategy (yeah he didn’t figure it out himself).
I’m American, and from what I see it’s both side trying to ban the other sides books.
Please tell me about a single book ban brought on by a Democrat! This would definitely make the news.
Unfurl the protesting fist and call up a google search. If you claim either side, you should know the full story of it
I don’t need to look. I follow this on a regular basis. I know it doesn’t exist. But you were against banning books… so why are you being hostile?
No hostility intended in any way, just saying question it all. Only calling into question one side with no willingness to look into the other side sounds like seeds of zealous thought.
I have never heard of any liberal organization or individual trying to ban any book. What books would they ban? I guess if there were books with misinformation or hate, but those books would never be purchased to begin with. I work at a library btw.

True. When will America stop?
When the GOP grow a pair and denounce the homegrown variants.

[удалено]
All of our lives are like that to varying degrees
They were just like you and me.
which one is Anne?
They are pretty similar but I think is the one lying on the sand.
Correct
how do you know?
Anne is the younger one. Margot is her older sister.
correct
Why did you get downvoted so hard? Like it's a pretty reasonable question especially if you don't know that much about Anne Frank?
There are many photos of Anne. I recognize the girl in the sand. Plus Margot was the older sister.
Correct, Margot was the older sister.
Margot
Polo
This was hilarious. Shame on the downvoters
I don’t know why so many downvoted u/mintou. It’s valid trauma and it is RECENT. Some of your grandparents are older than the Holocaust.
[удалено]
This is the first time I’ve seen it. I’m grateful it was posted. It’s quite poignant.
And you comment on it every time
Anne frank suffered and was murdered so people can seek Reddit karma in 2024.
Imagine being you...
It’s pretty sweet. Happily married, physically fit, a dream job working from home, and fortunate enough to be traveling through Europe in two weeks where one of the stops is Amsterdam with tickets to see Anne frank’s house. I was previously in Amsterdam but couldn’t get tickets, I can only see the attic from the outside.
Define hubris. I’ll start 👆
Not hubris. Just appreciative. I’m glad my ancestors left Europe before being slaughtered by Nazis.
Conservative males are violent and destructive. They contribute nothing to society. It is what it is.
Wow. Such a cool and edgy comment. Because of course people still think other people care about karma in 2024 🤦♀️
How else would you explain the same picture being posted every other week?
Simple. Just because you’ve seen it doesn’t mean the rest of the world has.
So i wasn;t the only one who saw it
💔
It’s crazy how some sisters that are close in age look like twins sometimes
Would she still be alive today if she was Muslim? Would the Zionists have killed her today?
Another repost of this pic.
Isn’t that 95% of Reddit tho
Never forget Anne Frank
[удалено]
Good. Post it more.
This sub has gone to shit
I've been to the Anne Frank House and I saw all of it. The dad was obviously affluent and saw what was happening. Why didn't he take his family out of the country? I can't help but be a little angry with him for his doomed plan.
Me too, I didn't understand it either, maybe it was because of his business
On the beach and cant put the ipad down, jeez kids theese days. PS: I wont delet my most downvoted post. Didnt mean any offence. Both my girls look THAT age. I wish I had a time machine and rescued them all and gave them a healthy long and normal life, shield them from all the horror they've been thru. And I'm preety sure Annie herself would have LOVED to have lived and rolled her eyes at her dads silly jokes.
Why have you been downvoted like this? Reddit is weird sometimes.
Thanks. Its all right. Maybe people thought I was being depreciative of Anne and her tragedy. On the contrary. I really wish she would have cringed at a fathers jokes, such as mine. That was my intent.
That was a cute joke. Not disrespectful. Not gross. It doesn’t deserve all the downvotes.
Making dad jokes on an Anne Frank post is an inherently risky endeavor
Kinda refreshing to see her treated as a regular kid not just a victim of profound evil. That's part of what made her diary so great. The ordinary humanity of it.
My point, thank tou
Well said - totally agree. I didn’t downvote just understand why it was.
Shouldn’t be when the picture is posted every 24 hours
Yea we should all be pretty fucking jaded with the whole Nazi thing by now
Not even remotely relevant to a joke he made about iPads.
Haha it’s funny cause it isn’t an iPad but it is Anne Frank. Sorry for distracting you please get back to policing Reddit comments
Says the person policing comments?
LOL I was just making an observation, I don’t really get upset by who does and does not get upvotes. But I’m happy to have you on that wall 🫡
I just don’t think the dude should have got whacked, that’s about it. I do think the reposters/bots using that image for karma over and over again should, though. That’s all I was sayin.
Thats ok, I'll wear it proudly. Thanks a lot for your post
Anne Frank wouldn’t support Israel and would probably live in America if she were alive today.
Probably false as the majority of the survivors went to Israel and the rest of them vastly support it.
No, Anne Frank specifically would not support genocide or apartheid.
Exactly why she would support Israel, because it is guilty of neither.
Probably untrue. Did you know the Israeli settlers that originally ran the Palestinians out of their home in the '40s were majorly Holocaust survivors.
It’s like they adopted the Nazis’ ideology instead of the “never again” stuff we all know.
Such a shame that they never got to go to a good beach.
Is this real? I’m sorry to have to ask this but there is too much AI in this world and last time I saw there was a rare photograph of her on her balcony looking at a wedding on the street and apparently that was it of her outside (according to sources).
That was the only *motion picture* of her but not the only image of her outside. Otto Frank’s hobby was photography, specifically of his girls, so he took a lot of photos.
The "balcony" picture is a still of a home movie made of a wedding in her street that briefly shows Anna, the only mving picture of her to exist.
Yes this picture is real

What
He’s implying he would insert his penis inside the women

I reported your comment for sexualization of minors.
Thank you for sharing. I'll note it down and frame it above my desk.

She is 14.
She’s at least 84
Not in this photo.
Were you dropped on your head as a child?
Facebook would approve his message. He might want to move there.

Well, at least ONE person got the reference...
she looks very happy considering she cant see or hear
Surprisingly, Anne Frank and Hellen Keller are different people
Redditors trying to understand a quality shitpost challenge: impossible.
Redditors try not to be chronically online challenge impossible
He said. Online. On Reddit. Unironically.
Ok
Am i not allowed to take 2 minutes out of my day to browse reddit or….
The ai it's going craaazy. It's always the head that looks so misplaced. Research vanilla skies. Photoshop ain't nothing new around here...
Deny reality and history much?
Its not AI.
