After they 'milked the memory of Anna Frank and there is nothing more to squeeze.....now they come up with a 'new exhibition in memory of Margot Frank, meaning another few decades of good money coming in. All this after the 'public theater of the "taking down of the 'Anna Frank Tree (the tree Anne saw from her window and had to be taken down). Pity only that in todays Holland many people AGAIN would love to send the Jews to the same place where they helped to send Anne, Margot & her parents and all the other 110.000Jews.

What a despicable post! Typical of a Belgian to be so crass and unsophisticated. You should look at yourself in the mirror and you'll clearly see all of the reasons behind europes failures and bloody history: your distaste and dark attitude is what always clouded the minds of Europeans and lead to a collection of the worlds bloodiest, inhumane and unforgivable history. You people will never change. So proud of my family for abandoning Europe as a lost affair...285 years ago and coming to the US to build the greatest nation in world history. I only regret that we shed any blood fighting YOUR wars and financing YOUR well being when you fall. But ofcourse, according to you arrogant Europeans, WE are the problem and cause of your bs. Lol! Thankfully, we don't give a crap what you think. It's just nauseating to watch or hear your horrendously BLACKENED words.

During WW2, Russian women fought alongside the men on the frontline against the Nazis. Many of them died in doing so. They are the real heroes. They did not hide in the attics.

and need to be shared far and wide so atrosities like this will never happen again

Good thing we Americans decided to fight in "their wars" namely WWII in order to save Europe from fascism. Without that decision, there would be no European Jews left and certainly no Israel and no Ynet. I'm surprised that someone with such a narrow view of the world would bother to read international news. Just read the local paper -- it will be less upsetting to you.

I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings and 'blew apart the 'mythos of the good and helpfull Dutch. I don' know whom you ment by 'YOUR PEOPLE', for you don't know me, or my family (the few that survived). Believe me, sadly I do know what I'm talking about. I'm happy that your family had the choise & opportunity to leave Europe and build a new LIFE for themselves....., my family wasn't so lucky! So, you can stop your unsophisticated scolding, for you don't have a clue what your talking about. But I DO agree on 'every word you said about the dark attitude of the Europeans, which lead (and still does) to the worlds bloodiest and most 'inhumane and unforgivable history. I DO agree on your correct observation of the European arrogance and lack of humility, always "teaching" others how to behave, and I DO agree that the US is the best.

I am sure that there is lots of money behind Anne Frank publications and exhibitions. Anne Frank became a brand and a huge market.

I'm an American, I love the USA and I am so very proud to live in this country. I am a patriot, and would never want to live anywhere else. BUT your post in very inappropriate. It seems arrogant, hateful and bitter. All Europeans are not the same. I know, because I lived, worked and traveled there quite a bit. I also wonder: Perhaps you misunderstood #2? ALSO: DID YOU CONSIDER THAT THE FRANK FAMILY WERE EUROPEANS?

was injured. it is said this is part of the trauma that led to her death.

I might have a point, YOU don't! "Russion women fought alongside men on the frontline and many died" For your information, Jewish women didn't 'get to the frontline (neither did the men) for they were 'rounded up in the middle of the night (usually with the help of local police) and send to concentration camps in Poland to be gassed. Despite all that, maybe you don't know, but there 'were Jewish men & woman fighting (usually in the Underground, there were the Jewish Partizans and the Jewish Brigade fighting together with the British Army, in the Getto's in Poland they were fighting alongside the man standing up to the Nazi's). So your sneering comment about "hiding in the attick" is absolute out of place!

Congratulations. Your ignorance and prejudice have no limit. As a proud member of a family of Jewish men and women who fought in the WWII I can tell you tales of bravery, tragic losses, POW camps, and victorious returns with minor injuries like lost limbs and such. The younger members were evacuated to Soviet Asis, not because they were Jewish, but because all Soviet people who could did that. Some didn't have time to run, and suffered and died tragically, Jews or not, at the hands of vicious German Nazis. You should rent a few Soviet era movies about WWII to understand.

If the Frank family would not have hidden in the attic they would have been taken to a concentration camp, used as slaves for labour & ultimatley exterminated. The attic provided 2 years of safety for the family until they were arrested & carted off to their deaths.. Anna & her sister Margot were teenagers, too young to fight alongside men on the frontline, dont you think ??

Peabody, you are way out of line here.Your local library will provide you with the history of the Holocaust, run along & read up fast before you post such drivel here.
