She did not say that. Your one sources is goodreads but the quote is infact from an unknown. How about you just read her diary & quote something from there?

If anne was still alive, she would be very less popular than if she was dead. This is pretty sad but its the truth, thats why many survivors are overlooked. They experienced the same pains and struggles too
@Keirra Meikle Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude
@blv don't promote yourself under a video about the holocaust
Thanks for pointing that out; I didn't have the guts. Millions of people kept diaries during WW2 but only Anne became famous, because she died young.
If James Dean, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin et al were still alive today, they'd be in their 70s or 80s and listed under "Where Are They Now?" Dying was the most famous thing they did.
There were other diaries too but the writers survived
You guys, she said that she wanted to be an author. I've read her diary, and I think that if she had survived, she would be the equivalent of Ursula Le. Guin. She was already an extraordinary author at the age of 13. Just IMAGINE what she could've accomplished had she grown up and had more experience.
Her dad was the only one to survived the concentration camp. Later he said he doesn’t wish to know who exposed their hiding place
@@goodnight63 or he doesn't want to relive his trauma. Of course he's always going to hurt, but to find out exactly who betrayed him and got his family killed, would open up many old wounds.
her stepsister too if im not wrong
wasnt daddy german so maybe he was spared because he was german
It's because of the cat, the cat that was with them made them not survive.
@@goodnight63 he almost died in a concentration camp. Why would he had been the one to call and tell on himself and his family? That doesn’t make any sense.
Imagine how much of a talented writer should we be today if she survived, considering she wrote her diary when she was ONLY 13.
I mean young people write amazing. It doesn't matter what age, just what's been set and what you'll set.
I’m too lazy to even write out the word you I just say u
It was edited and dramaticaized by different publishers
And it wasn’t only her who wrote it the publisher’s tweak

Woah. You are very lucky.
I remember hearing a story about a german college girl named Sophie Scholl who was anti-nazi and publicly announced it. She was arrested and accused of treason and was beheaded by guillotine hours later along with her brother.

@@onetouch698 there are thousands of little girls that met the same fate as Ann. We only know of Ann’s story because she was an amazing writer. I went to the attic where she hid, it’s beyond awful what her and her family went through.
I don't know about that. Sure she'd be here to tell her story but ironically I don't think she'd be as well known if she had survived. The story of this girl's deeply personal diary surviving the holocaust when she did not, and her father, the sole survivor in her family, trying to honor her by having it published, is so moving. She is famous BECAUSE her writing outlived her. While it would have been incredibly poignant for Anne to be alive to tell her story today, and I wish that she could have survived, I don't think that one more holocaust survivor telling her story would have made too much of a difference in how we view the holocaust.
What gets me mad or upset is how only a few months after she died the holocaust was over. Like imagine if she just made it lose last few months...
It was a coward who was a selfish person that didn't care about killing people.
Agree but I think some nazi's were so brainwashed by Hitler that they didn't think that way.
I think one day the world is going to destroy Russia
I felt so bad for Anne Frank and she was a true hero but the only thing that bothers me about this whole situation is that we are living in modern day time and there are tons of people who are missing that need help right now. Just saying that’s just my opinion.
@@clarasgift3067 You are right, the freedom is gone and now we are coping with life changes. Stay strong we will persevere.

I first read her diary when I was around 10 years old.i found it sad then but in a way I saw her as quite an old girl.
I'm now 16 and realising the true tragedy of it. She was so young and had so much ahead of her.
The older you get, the sadder you will find it.
@@etsugradlib as a jew i already found it extremely depressing at the age of 13. on one side of my family this one guy, about 16, was a pretty bad kid, got into trouble, smoked, started fights etc, so his family sent him to america to live with his uncle, and not too much later, the nazis invaded his old home(poland) and his whole family died in aushwitz. Im pretty sure another part of my family came from russia but I dont know much, might want to take an ansestory test, because its interesting to hear where you came from not just to hear but to imagine the lives of those people in those places before you(sorry i went a bit off topic i have adhd)
Well actually it is a good thing to read but the uncensored version is banned in school
@@etsugradlib I remember reading a book about holocaust survivors recounting their stories in 4th grade. Barely now I just realized how messed up some of the stories are
I read it when I was in 9th grade simply just to get an english project done. But man how hard it hit me. She was 14 too just like I was at the time, nd her interaction with her family, boys, frnds wr all too relatable but I can't even think of going thru what she went nd what she suffered. Nd her writing skills!!
She wanted to be a famous writer...
and her dream was fulfilled
Bless her
It’s true
But it's sad cause she's dead
sometimes you have to die in order for you to live
It’s actually quite eerie watching that short clip of a young girl leaning out a window, knowing how much tragedy was on its way and how legendary she would become because of it.
While watching the short movie I wondered how many other people in the film eventually suffered the same final fate as Anne did. Freedom is a very fragile concept and can be shattered very easily
I visited Amsterdam in December of 2019, and I’m truly grateful to have visited the Anne Frank House. When my boyfriend and I entered this place, you had a different feeling inside.

I would love to find out who betrayed the Franks and sent three innocent people, Anne, her sister Margot and her Mother Edith, to their deaths with millions of others. This person would be as big a villain as Hitler if it was found out who did it. I wish the best of luck to anyone looking into this, but I don't think there is ever going to be conclusive evidence as to who betrayed the Franks, and I think that's very sad.
Me too, I remember that Anne wrote in her diary that Van Maaren was getting suspicious that's why maybe the investigators thought that maybe he was the one who betrayed them.
*did chu know Hitler was Jewish?*
HeisenSaul You’re comparing someone who tortured, killed, and severely scarred millions of innocent people to someone who betrayed a family of one of many who died. No, I’d argue that the person who betrayed them isn’t as bad as hitler, but they’re still bad.
Keep in mind, and no, I’m not supporting whoever betrayed the Franks. I think the action was horrible, disgusting, outrageous, and cruel. But WWII was a very scary time, for Jews, Nazi sympathizers, and other victims of Hitler’s cruel reign. People were terrified. Even those who supported Hitler. Whoever gave away the two families in the secret annex was probably frightened as well, though this does not classify his or her actions. But if say, the Nazis some how found out that the traitor of the Franks didn’t tell them and knew all along about the family, the she or he would go to a concentration camp as well.
@@Yes-rl1lg I understand what you are trying to do here...but it can never be considered a reasonable action.
I feel like if they do find out who betrayed them then people will try to find that person’s family that lives today. And then knowing people nowadays, they will harass and threaten them
Your not wrong, what the rat did was wrong but you can't punish their family for that unless they literally did it too.
@@calvinscarvings.66 that’s exactly my point lol I didn’t think I would have to clarify what I meant
W I was pretty sure that was your point but I decided to comment it anyways because why not.
Maybe that is why it remains a mystery to this day.
Sometimes things are best left forgotten.
stop saying betrayed we dont know who did it and multiple suspects wouldn't have betrayed, they would have snitched as they didn't help them
In her diary, she mentions that Mr. Dussel wrote to his wife, although they stopped sending the letters after 2 days. The wife could’ve turned them in, she might of done it out of the Nazi’s sparing her life if she turned them in or maybe she hated her husband. Either way I think this could quite possibly be the betrayer of Anne’s Annex, I don’t know much about this so correct me if I’m wrong.
'Lotje' wasn't Dussel's wife but his partner. But you might be right.
It also might have been Bep Voskuijl's sister Nelly because she was known to be a Nazi collaborator who disapproved of her father and sister hiding Jews.
@@NP-vn8so Her sister was not arrested, so I am not inclined to think she was betrayed by her sister
Perhaps the letters were intercepted?
@@Ricky-kb5dx No they were delivered in person by Miep
There’s so much evidence you need to back up your yt comment for people to take it seriously.
Seems so much more awful if the rat was someone close or someone considered your own. Despicable
It wasn’t
@@edenleave2054 there were traitors who were paid to snitch on each others. Geez had to reply 3 times cuz saying the J word after traitor auto deleted the comment lol.
What you also have to take into account is that it really might have been someone close to the family, someone they knew and who knew about their being hidden there - and that person might have been pressured into making that phone call (if it was ever made) under a threat, such as to do something to that person's loved ones.
One of the world's greatest mysteries that I'd be highly interested in getting a answer to.
Ann Frank's sister also had a diary but hers was never found.
Obviously, if they found out for sure who told on them being there they would not be prosecuted cause they have probably have been dead for at least 40 years. But it still would be nice to know who the rat was that gave them away.
the most common suspect is a bloody thief, that's not a rat, thats just a selfish human
True but if they had kids and those kids had kids when they were older, I hope peeps wouldn’t shame them for something their ancestors did.
I believe it was the same people who were helping them hide. I don't believe it was Miep, but I believe it was one of the others, probably out of fear. Hannah said Anne told her while at the camp "Someone betrayed us". Betrayed being the key word.
KaceyIlliot1669 whos hannah
@@doubletrouble6791 Her childhood friend..Hannah Goslar saw Anne at the concentration camp right before Anne died.

‘Betray’ doesn’t always mean that someone was working with another person and then gave them away. Betray can mean that you give away someone’s hiding spot whom you’ve never met, seen, or heard.
I agree. It might have been Bep or one of the others. Maybe they couldn't figure out how to feed 8 people in a war that seemed to go on forever and turned them in cause the Gestapo seemed to know exactly where they were hiding.

im so sad that girl was to young ti die and go to camp
From what I understand it was possibly Meip's sister. She used to work for Otto (Anne's father) as typist and knew about the 8 in the annex. There is an entry in Anne's diary where Meip suddenly one day says are we all turing Anti-Semitic.
I'm wondering why nobody looked at the neighbors or the people who came to the warehouse to conduct business. Anne suspected them in her diary
Imagine being one of the world's most prolific writers at age of 13 even 80 years later. Every other 13 year old today just want to game online or become a TikTok star.
I have thought this quite a bit. It seems as though people of Anne's era, even very very young people such as herself, were far more substantive and possessing greater intellectual capacity back then.

There’s any number of reasons for what happened we don’t know if she was really betrayed it’s possible the Nazis heard where they were hiding and lied about the betrayal to
break their spirits, or someone helping the Frank’s did tell them and torchured them to tell them where they were. In any case there still a lot more to discover about what happened all those years ago. Well find out what happened one day
There were lots of people betraying...it was a world war and it was hard times. Totally different times but yet we live in a time where the same thing is happening, people betraying others for their freedom to not wear masks, not stay home and not vaccinate.
@Yongo Bazuk as they should
One of the most moving moments in my life was climbing those stairs and going behind the bookcase into those same small rooms where Anne, her family and others hid and were eventually betrayed. I stood there along with people from Japan, China, Europe and America, all standing in complete silence. As I write these words, tears are running down my cheek as those emotions are still near the surface so many years later. If any of you find yourselves in Amsterdam, please go to the Anne Frank house and climb those same stairs. I promise you will "never forget."
This comment is immensely moving. I dream of visiting the Annex/Museum someday. Thank you for your vulnerability and articulating your experience so well. I could imagine what you described quite vividly.
despite the fact that in her diary she states that the world is evil, and how someone could be so cruel to another, she still believes that we are all good at heart. this proves that there is still humanity left in all of us

"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart."
The fact that this was said by a 13 year old Jewish girl, who was in hiding because a maniac was killing Jews at that time, astounds me. I aspire so, but I don't think I could ever be that optimistic.
In contrast I can't help but think of what was found written on the wall of a bunkhouse at Auschwitz:
"If there is a God, He will have to ask my forgiveness."
The same type of person who snitched on Anne is the same type of person who would snitch on neighbors who don't mask up or have people over.
It's amazing how Anne frank went through that at just fifteen years old it must be so scary for her
@MANGOMANGO she literally died at 15
Imagine if she knew her diary would go viral like this
I like to imagine she would have felt extremely embarrassed but then proud that she touched so many people's hearts and taught them more about compassion and understanding about the whole situation.
Its so crazy that there are probably thousands and thousands of people who went through what Anne did, both young and old.
About the comment below speculating that the Franks were betrayed by one of their own helpers. I always thought something was not quite right about Bep Voskuijl who is also known by the pseudonym Elli Vossen.
Miep said that after the war, Bep's memories of the events became vague and she didn't want to talk about them, a red flag. But now I think that Bep was not the traitor. She was keeping quiet because she had a conflict of interests.
Her son has now written a book expounding that while Bep was on the side of the angels, and it was her father who made the swinging bookcase, her sister was a collaborator and a fascist who had an affair with a Nazi officer. He knows his aunt was the black sheep of the family. She made snide remarks to Bep, indicating that she knew what was going on. He suspects it was the elder Voskuijl sister who betrayed the people in hiding for a bounty.
I know of a Dutch family where siblings have not spoken to each other for over 70 years because some of them were in the resistance and others were actively pro-Nazi. It's not an uncommon story but it is a terrible psychological burden.

Even those in the black market would have guessed that Miep was buying more stuff than she needed for a husband and wife. Miep, who lived to be over 100, shopped for food every single day for 10 people (herself, her spouse, and the eight in the hiding place). Her visits to a place of business with that much food couldn't have gone unnoticed. Worse, there are times when I think that it might have been Miep herself who turned them in. That might be heresy to some, but consider this: Miep had the responsibility and the danger, plus the stress of listening to the sob stories of eight people living cheek by jowl with each other and no respite from each other and no possibility of a walk outside.
One MercilessMing if Miep HAD been directly involved, I honestly doubt we would even have the diary. Anne would have gone down as a largely anonymous victim. And as Otto said, “if you suspect Miep, you suspect me.” This woman dedicated her life to telling her friends’ stories.
@@briarswt--All true, and I only said there were times when I thought it may have been Miep. HOWEVER, it is far more
likely that the spies and informers noticed Miep's daily comings and goings with more food and supplies then her coupon rationing would have allowed and were necessary for just Miep and her husband. The Nazis paid a "bounty" for informing on who was hiding Jews or where Jews might be secreted.
One MercilessMing there is proof that Bep one of the helpers sister could have been responsible since she was dating a member of the nazi party and didn’t like jews, not to mention she knew about the people in hiding since Bep father also was a helper until he got sick
@@haileyparsons3844--I have not read anything of this. Can you cite a source, please? Thanks.
No evidence of that whatsoever, and plenty of evidence to the contrary
You know whats funny. The people living in the Jordaan (that neighbourhood) know exactly who snitched her. But he's dead now
Still, after having read the book many years ago and being familiar with the history, this is heartbreaking every time I am exposed to it.
Well, whoever the person was, what he did was lawful at the time he did it.
I mean...just imagine the fear the family had. That is a true sad story in history.
@Daniel Chang I'm sure she did, sadly it was not and her and her family were brutality murdered. Rip.
@Daniel Chang Yes I have always thought how extremely terrified Anne and everyone else in hiding with her must have felt when the stupid nazis burst in just THINKING about it is honestly too much for me I can't even IMAGINE how it felt for them to have ACTUALLY gone through it! :( that sort of fear would have to be pretty close to the very TOP of most terrifying things that can happen to anyone makes me sick for them that they had to go through that :(
I was taught they found her family because there was too much trash coming out of the warehouse
Somone had to snitch or report them cause only close ppl took care of the garbage. They took it out little by little cause they were aware of it. They person who reported them knew that it was 8 ppl
Wow such a tragic story!! Google the USS liberty incident
Was Anne Frank responsible though?
@@mranderson380 Yes.
@@roseCatcher_ how?
"This one time at camp we got so baked" - Anne Frank
Omg dude leave. nobody likes you this is a terribly sad story and it’s Important to history. Leave biggot
@@joshmcclelland5663 people of color can’t be racists or bigots moron it’s in the PC Handbook. Plus it’s funny
@@reydelmundo9353 Do you know what bigot means? POCs can still be racist towards Asians, Indians and so on, they can still be homophobes or transphobes, and they can still hold bias against religious groups. And this topic should be taken seriously, not with humor. Dark humor does not assist in the situation at all.
It's so sad that when my blood family were living well at that time, my grandmother was going into a good private school with everything she wanted and needed, at the other side of the world there was Anne Frank living in an attic trying to be most quite as she could as they were hiding from Nazis.
Imagine trying to cancel a dead person
Roses are dead..
Violets are dying..
Outside she's smiling...
Inside she's crying...
I’m sure this person didn’t just betray Anne but probably many others.
And I’m sure there were also people who died rather than betray someone to the Nazis.
It’s heartbreaking, no matter how you look at it ❤️
What’s up with August? August 6th is when Japan was bombed, August 4th when Ann’s and the others were arrested. Like ???
XxSkiipsixX December was when Japan bombed the US
xoHoran no when Japan was bombed
XxSkiipsixX ohhh I understood it wrong
xoHoran lol it’s fine
Okay, so two events???? You do realize that hundreds of major events happened every month of every year. There's nothing specific with August.
I hope they find whoever gave them up
They will be long dead. It was 75 years ago. Even if it was a 30-year-old they would be 105 now. I also don't think it matters. Her story is about her desire to live a life, her belief in humanity and a warning to all humanity that it must never happen again. It isn't a who-done-it murder mystery. I think publicising this part of it misses the point of the story.
It has been 2 years since this video... any updates?
So sad. They were so close to freedom.
If Anne knew that her Father was still alive she probably would have survived. But she simply could not face the world without her family and died of sorrow. Her camp was only (if I remember right) 2 weeks away from being freed. So close.
Anne's dear friend Hannah Gosslar said that quite a lot, that if Anne's had only known of her father being alive she would have found the courage to live. I find this questionable. Typhus is a brutalizing sickness. Some illnesses are simply too powerful to overcome with hope, courage, and will alone. They were in the midst winter (eye witnesses and historians believed Margot and Anne died sometime in February or March 1945), in freezing 🥶 cold barracks with no coats or sources of warmth. Their bodies shut down irreparably.Survival in such circumstances was frankly, miraculous.
When even the FBI is trying their best to find the snitch.
I read her autobiography. I have wondered many times about the what if's.......
It's wierd how one little decision we make can change a whole lot like there was an option where there family didn't invite anyone and lived
That’s so sad, what smart little girl
To what end? Are they going to drag the relatives through the mud to... make themselves feel better?
This man is taking snitches get stitches a little too seriously lol he’s looking for a ghost at this point
sus
They hid for like 2 years. They were set. The best hiding place. Outside help. There's no way there was no someone betraying them
So the ancestors can feel guilty about it? What's the point.
So that the culprit's name and identity will be put in derision and shame. Proper punishment must occur, even post-humoustly.
You know that a soldier who died can be stripped off his ranks and be shamed post-humoustly right?
So that we can honor whoever rattled her out. Nothing to feel guilty about.
Search to find the person who didn’t even exist intensifies, goes high tech.
Lmao.
Her being trapped in her attic reminds me of being in lockdown
The ultimate Karen is the one who snitched
theyre far worse than a karen. No matter what, even if they were being tortured to tell, whats stopping the nazis from continuing torturing them or even killing them after getting their answer. plus, they didnt even know that that family was hiding jewish people, so they werent even asking. its honestly kind of disgusting that theyd turn in a whole family that theyve known for years so the family can get tortured, overworked, and killed.
@@haventpickedanameyet2527 bro it's ww2
Karens are equivalent to Nazis yes
I've never felt such a sharp pang of sadness before I heard the quote at 0:42
Goes to show you, you can't trust a single person on this earth. It was probably a family member.
I’m so glad that they are doing this to honor her.
And to think this is only one story about a girl and her family, many many more were betrayed and faced a very similar fate.
Y’all half a century late
Even if they found who it was....What could they (the betrayer) been charged with? Just curious
they dead
I am pretty the person is already dead, because there is not a lot of people from that time who are still alive.
Holland was occupied by the Germans and so anyone that aided the enemy was committing treason. In this case, it led to deaths and so they could be charged for treason leading to murder. But as people said they will be dead.
But after the war, a number of people were executed for aiding the enemy in rounding up civilians like this.
Wow, there are actually people who dislike trying to find the person who betrayed a little girl to her death. Unbelievable.
It’s only 178 people
Whenever I am trying to talk quitely about a subject with someone who ruins it by responding back in a louder way that allows other's to hear what we I wish to talk about 'quietly" ...I get annoyed and respond sarcastically in kind with "Anne Frank is in the attic"!!!!! It's my way of telling them they're a loud mouth and to shut up with our conversation.
Just leave her alone…. Let her rest in peace
