The Last Seven Months of Anne Frank

Six Jewish women who survived the hell of the Nazi horrors of the Holocaust tell their stories, and those of the last 7 months of Anne Frank's life. The pain, humiliation and dehumanization is told of Auschwitz. With detailed eyewitness accounts, these women once more live the hell of the trip from the Dutch Westerbork transit camp to the last cattle car train ride. By the time they arrived at Auschwitz, they were emaciated beyond recognition, clad in rags and made to stand for 3 days prior to their arrival at the death camp. This devastating reconstruction of the ordeal Anne Frank endured in the last 7 months of her short life is a necessary complement to her own diar. I found the brave women's reconstruction of their harrowing ordeal to be something I will never forget. When I find myself complaining about some menial thing in my life, this will be a reminder of what I escaped just by being in another time, another place and another belief system.
This should be a must read for every American citizen to show that tolerance can not be allowed as to who is better than another, whose belief system is the best, or whose race is allowed to continue, while killing off others. The HORROR OF THE HOLOCAUST is something everybody should remember when encountering another person.
I had nightmares the night I read this, and as my husband held me as I cried out, I was thankful for my own security, safety and acceptance without being killed for just being someone different. This book should be on everybody's bookshelf, as a reminder of evil and intolerance. ( )
