Anne Frank's friend Hannah Pick-Goslar dies at age 93

[Guno צְבִי]

Pick-Goslar grew up with Anne in Amsterdam after both their families moved there from Germany as Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party rose to power. The friends were separated as Anne’s family went into hiding in 1942 but met again briefly in February 1945, at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany, shortly before Anne died there of typhus.

Before World War II, their families lived next door to one another in Amsterdam, and Anne and Hannah went to school together.

Pick-Goslar recalled attending her friend's 13th birthday party and seeing a red-and-white checkered diary that Anne's parents gave their daughter as a gift. Anne went on to fill it with her thoughts and frustrations while hiding from the Nazis in a secret annex in Amsterdam. Anne’s father, Otto, published the diary after the war.

I wish she could have seen a world where corrupt narcissists like Putin & Trump didn't still hold sway over millions. We owe it to her & all of the innocents from that era to be better, and build a future where we can show we have learned those horrible lessons from the past.

It is a generation that is passing, along with their memories of all that can go wrong.

Well said.
