Anne Frank’s stepsister compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler

[kpete]

“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.

“I remember how upset the world was when the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961,” Schloss said. “And now everybody is building walls again to keep people out. It’s absurd.”

2. Not a living sibling. Her mother married Otto Frank after the war.

They had all been in concentration camps, and Otto Frank lost all his family and his friends, while Schloss and her mother survived. After the war they met, and her mother and Otto Frank married. In that way their daughters are step-sisters, but the girls were never related while all of them lived..
