Are you for real? How can you say that?
shareWell obviously the OP wants some sort of attention. Maybe they think there funny or something? I dont know.
I mean what a stupid thing to say. Not even i'd say something like that and i hate sharing a bathroom with my family. But id rather share 1 bathroom with 100 people than get sent to a concentration camp!

Um...ok. My mother was one of 8 children, and the apartment she lived in with her siblings and parents had 1 bathroom. My grandfather still lives there, and I recall family get-togethers where there would be 15+ people staying there at one time. One bathroom.
Not really a valid comparison to a concentration camp

To make this thread anything but a joke by of a stupid troll, I will add a real issue concerning the Jewish families hiding in that attic those two years. How about not being allowed to use the bathroom during the workday, while the workers are present (because they'll hear the pipes)? Not only that, but being forced to stay quiet during the workday period. Just as they must have felt safe from the Germans, this aspect must have made them feel trapped at the same time.
shareI'm with most of you... I'd THANK GOD for a bathroom and a safe place to be rather than suffer in a concentration camp.
The bathrooms at a concentration camp were probably the "Gas Chambers".
Ican't get over what you said. i was working in washington, d.c. while this was going on and we kept getting pictures of the bodies who were thrown out and then buried in a mass grave and I know this really happened. the 8 people in the actic did wonderfully compared to someone like you. You should have been in one of the concetration camps
I don't think you are a troll like everyone says, I think you are just a stupid ignorant insensitive American who is completely unaware about the rest of the world and what's happened in it - not really your fault, it's your schools and governments who teach that the USA is the only real important place in the world and that Paris is in Texas. Open your eyes and start reading - and thinking, before you open your mouth and put your glaring great hoof in it.
shareJaycey, I agree that the OP is stupid, ignorant and insensitive, but your saying it is because he/she is an American is in the same category. Quite ignorant. Should we include ALL Germans as heinous monsters because of what happened in Germany? I certainly think not. There are ignorant and cruel people everywhere just as there are kind sympathetic people everywhere. The comment you made is something like Hitler and the Nazi's would have said about the Jews and anyone different from them. I believe the statement the OP made was stupid, I think your comment is dangerous and worse. As your last sentence says "thinking, before you open your mouth and put your glaring great hoof in it." I believe you should do the same.

Got a little bit of Anti-American sentiment do we? Should we examine the cause of that pent-up anger?
Jealousy?
Envy?
Resentment?
The website you're writing on is hosted in America, and you're typing on either a tablet, phone, or PC Invented in America, on an Operating system patented and designed in USA, writing to an audience that is mostly American. On the whole, I'd be careful who you call "Stupid and ignorant".
Good day!
Back then, there were many people in ONE household EVERYWHERE and they had to share the same bathroom. Bathrooms as they are now really have not been around for as long as you think, and many places still don't have running water. (on the other hand, there are some places such as parts of Japan with futuristic bathrooms)
but even in the early 20th century it was not uncommon for many people to share the same bathroom. The only exception was in multi-floor houses and buildings ...one bathroom on each floor. But that is mainly toilet and sink. Bathtubs/showers were usually in one LARGE bathroom that EVERYBODY shared.
Consider these people a large family stuck in a small house.
There had to be moments when they could not stand each other, sharing, etc. and there also had to be moments when they got along perfectly.
Today there aren't too many houses being made with just one bathroom. But this was set in WWII.
