Ebbie is right to comment.

MattR wishes to correct us on the manner of Anne Franks Death.

"Anne Frank was not "murdered" at Auschwitz. She died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen."

All well and good except for two things.

1. If he had read the thread a bit more thoroughly he would have noticed that Anne Frank dying of typhus has already been established.

2. To say that she wasn't murdered but died of typhus is a bit like saying that ted bundy's victims weren't murdered but merely died of head trauma.

Deliberately imprisoning a person in conditions such as those under which Anne Frank contracted Typhus, and then allowing her to die untreated, constitutes nothing less than murder, only that her murder was all the more cruel and drawn out as the Nazi's wanted her to feel more than anything else that she was vermin.


Interesting paradox - pedantic yet ignorant.
