Welcome to the 'Diary of Anne Frank' tab.
Here, you will see my newspaper article interviewing the Franks. I took a virtual tour on www.annefrank.org through the annex they hid in during the Nazi invasion of poland. Then, I protrayed myself as a newspaper journalist of that time. ENJOY!
More Jews Found!
August 5th, 1944.
Three more families were found today in a secret annex, above a not-so-secret warehouse. Thanks to information given by a man named Maaren, three Jewish families were found having a ‘normal day in hiding’. The Franks’, consisting of Otto and Edith frank, parents of Anne and Margot Frank, are said to be the family that ‘discovered’ the secret annex, and are to be sent to a death camp immediately. Other families in hiding were the Van Pels family, and a man living alone in the annex was Fritz Pfeffer. After touring the annex, I realized that the place in hiding was no vacation. They had virtually no food by the time the Nazis invaded the annex. Our newspaper reporters got their soon after the Nazis left the premises with the Jews. In the area was the man of mystery that reportedly told the authorities where these soon to be prisoners were hiding, Mr. V. Maaren. We asked Maaren if telling the authorities about the hiding Jews was a difficult thing for him to do, and he replied with a simple “No.” and walked away.
The puzzling part of this story is there were two people, of the Aryan race, who decided to help the secret Jews. Miep and Jan Gies, newlyweds, brought the Jews food rations on a daily basis, and gave the Jews information on where the allies were located. They also have been reported to authorities and will be punished immediately. In my opinion, as a German, THESE JEWS GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED.
