In an essay to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Anne Frank's stepsister accused Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump of "acting like another Hitler."
Eva Schloss, now 86, was a friend of Frank's in Amsterdam after their families fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Her mother, Fritzi, would marry Otto Frank, Anne's father, after World War II.
"If Donald Trump become(s) the next president of the U.S. it would be a complete disaster," she told Newsweek on Wednesday. "I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism."
Schloss survived Auschwitz while Frank and her mother died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and Anne Frank's diary became a famous account of life as a Jewish family under Hitler's Nazi Germany.
Schloss, who lives in London, also criticized the U.S. and Western European governments for their response to the Syrian crisis, likening the refugees' experience in 2016 "to what we went through" in Nazi-controlled Europe.

(50,414 posts)He and others like him dehumanize swaths of people by painting them as threats and enemies. Whether it's greedy Jews, Black thugs, lazy Latinos, rapist Muslims, or Welfare Queens.
It is odious and I'm astonished to see similar memes here.

When you are forced to go for the Hitler comparison, your side has lost the debate.

So Jews went around raping people? They were flooding into Germany looking for welfare benefits?
I only am able to read about WW2 Europe, and Im wondering if this person wasnt living in Utah at the time and only thinks she knows what happened there, because that is flat-out one of the stupidest things Ive ever heard.

If someones father marries her mother after his daughter from an earlier marriage has died (in a Nazi Holocaust camp), can she claim to be the deceaseds stepsister. I think not.
Her rant is actually a plus for Trump.

Anne Frank's stepsister compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler
If she hasn't spoken out about the Nazi characteristics of Barack Obama, then she has no credibility from whence to cast aspersions on Trump.
The most Nazi like person we have ever had in a leadership position is Barack Obama.

Jews never were too bright when it comes to self preservation instincts.
She thinks muslims should be welcomed, yet, muslims want to rid the world of Jews like Hitler wanted. Yet, she compares someone like Trump, that wants to limit muslim influence to kill the Jews, to Hitler that wanted to exterminate the Jews.
Not very bright.
