TV show reunites Anne Frank's classmates

Monday 28 December 2009

A special episode of the popular KRO tv show De Reünie (The Reunion) which brought together 12 former classmates of Anne Frank attracted over 1.6 million viewers on Sunday night, reports ANP news service.

The show talked to nine former pupils of the Montessori primary school on Amsterdam’s Nierstraat (1940-1941) and six students from class 1L2 of the Jewish Lyceum (1941-1942). Three of the 15 pupils were in the same class as Anne Frank in both primary and secondary school.

Anne Frank wrote about the children in her class in her famous diary. Unlike Anne Frank, several of them survived the Second World War and emigrated to different parts of the world.

Anne Frank would have been 80 years old this year if she had not died in a Nazi concentration camp.

comment on A.Frank class mate show.

A sad story spun out to the max. Instead of picking a today Palestinian girl of 13 and show the people how she spend her last year and wonder what is better, to be gassed or to live like the girl in Gaza. No house, that is bombed, no mother, shot in front of her. She wrote in her diary every day and she had classmates before the Cast Lead war destroyed her school. Anne Frank was part of the reason for the existence of Israel and now Israeli Ashkenazim who are converts, not descendants of the 12 tribes, are behaving as were the Nazis of Anne's time.
She did not show any of the talents she is ascribed to, at the time in school, said one old time class mate. With other words, this is a hype. It is justice inverted. How the original inhabitants of the land are treated is as sad as Anne was treated 60 years ago. The misery of the disowned, the scare and fear of horror out of Israel can touch my tear glands to fill a bucket. Nobody can say it better than E.Cayce who died in the year I was born, I quote,
"That there have been many problems and many questionings is true; yet when the entity has allowed or does allow itself to meditate upon the principles of the prompting which come from its study, its application of the law of the Lord which is manifested in the precepts, the commandments, the psalms and the promises of Jesus, little has been the fear of what the man-force has to offer as to disturbing factors in the earth.
Then, as would be given, keep that faith . . .
Do not let those things which may not in the present be understood weary thy soul, but know that sometime, somewhere, you, too, will understand. Keep the faith.
Énd Quote.

I was born in December 1944. I have banned the past from my mind. I saw the hour long show. A sad story spun out to the max. Ironically, instead of picking a today dead Palestinian girl of the same age as Anne was, and show the people how she spend her last time on Earth and wonder what is better, to be gassed then or to be bombed like the girl in Gaza now? No house, that is bombed, no mother, shot in front of her. She wrote in her diary every day and she had classmates before the Cast Lead war destroyed her school and took her life. Anne Frank was part of the reason for the existence of Israel and now Israeli Ashkenazim who are converts, not descendants of the 12 tribes, are behaving as were the Nazis of Anne's time. Please human beings who read this, remember your soul.
She did not show any of the talents she is ascribed to, at the time in school, said one old time class mate. With other words, this is a hyped up version of Anne. It is justice inverted. How the original inhabitants of the land that Israel now occupies are treated is just as sad as Anne was treated 60 years ago. The misery of the disowned, the scare and fear of horror out of Israel can touch my tear glands to fill two buckets. For all who died and still must die for this idiotic behavior of the human race. Sharing the land is the only solution. Anne was a victim as the girl today dead in Gaza is a victim of the very same mad violence and terror politics. The hurting of Palestinians and making life miserable is just as the wartime Germans did to the Jews. I can not say it better so I quote E. Cayce:
"That there have been many problems and many questionings is true; yet when the entity has allowed or does allow itself to meditate upon the principles of the prompting which come from its study, its application of the law of the Lord which is manifested in the precepts, the commandments, the psalms and the promises of Jesus, little has been the fear of what the man-force has to offer as to disturbing factors in the earth.
Then, as would be given, keep that faith . . .
Do not let those things which may not in the present be understood weary thy soul, but know that sometime, somewhere, you, too, will understand. Keep the faith.
