Edith Holländer

Good morning James,

Persecution of any type is generally a few trying to become more powerful using others. I think we are seeing it in the world today.

Make yourself an astonishing day.

Good morning James. Must say great message since even the spammers are interested. Enjoy your day!

I also read the book and it was a life changing event that showed how evil works.

Thank you very much, James, for sharing this historical lesson.

Take care, be safe and have a great day.

That's a great (all be it sad) story James Dray . You are correct, I had never heard of Edith prior to reading this.

James,

I had the same question as Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 had. Yes, I knew about Anne Frank.

Hi James Dray - reading that story I knew exactly were it was headed.  Events are well known.

You are right, I definitely enjoyed learning about Edith.  I am saddened to learn that she died of starvation though.  I love her last name since it is the same as my good friend Nina Hollander 

Very sad story. I think most of us have heard of Anne Frank. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for sharing this one with us James.  I have to say you point out some great stories to us.

Hi James- I too read The Diary of Anne Frank and it stayed with me. I think all of us remember her story. 

Hello James - as I was reading your post I was thinking there might be connection to Anne Frank.  

My first question was any relations to  Nina Hollander ?? on a side note I have been to Amsterdam a hundred years ago and went to Ann Franks house and where she hid...Endre

I'm seeing evidence of evil resurfacing with persecution. Oh, how I hope as a civilization we don't go down this road again.

You were right, James...I had not heard of Edith but certainly know about Anne Frank.

The story of Anne Frank is an amazing story. We must never forget what happened in the concentration camps of World War II.

Dear James,

Such a tragedy. All that potential wasted for nothing. I am sure, she and her family would have made many more contributions, had they lived.

Wow.  Thank you for the historical narrative about Anne's parents!  I still sit in amazement/disbelief as I watch documentaries from this very ugly period of time.

Actually I have head of Edith Hollander and she is a Dutch jewish lady. It is mention in the preface of the book.

Like Jeff Dowler, CRS, I knew of Anne Frank burt, not Edith Holländer, James. Another poignant reminder of the horror of the concentration camps. I am thankful that her daughter survived yet, so sad that Edith died of starvation - and only 3 weeks prior to being liberated. Just so heartbreaking!
