I have an interesting story about Anne


I took a Holocaust class in college. We had two different survivors who came t speak to our class. One of the survivors was a man who was born in Poland. He was forsed to live in, I think it was, the Lodtz ghetto. One day the Germans came and took him away from his mother in their tiny run down apartment and he was deported to a labor camp. From the labor camp, he was transfored to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. While in the camp, he was assigned to dig up large pits and then take the bodies and throw them into the pits. He was only sixteen at the time. Imagen it, sixteen and throwing bodies into pits. Anyways, by the end of the war the Alies were getting closer and closer to the camp, and the Germans wanted the prisoners to work harder and harder to get rid of the bodies. As many of you know Anne died at the end of the war in 1945. What some of you might not know is that she died days before British alies liberated Bergen-Belsen.
Believe it or not this gentalman had actually came across the body of Anne Frank while disposing the bodies. He was one of the last people to see Anne Frank with his own eyes, dead.
