Man who betrayed Anne Frank to Nazis was likely Jewish "leader" Arnold van den Bergh

I watched Escape From Sobibor many years ago, there was a scene where a soldier told 13 people to choose someone to die with or he would kill everyone. It was the most heart breaking and terrifying thing to watch.

I can not imagine or know what I would do facing such a decision

We took our daughter to the Zekelman Holocaust Center on a grade school trip, at the end of the tour there was a presentation by three survivors. I’ve never seen kids of that age give their undivided attention to anyone.

It should be required curriculum in every school.

So, as far as this story, I’m trying to figure out why it matters, no one that didn’t live it is in a position to judge anyone that was trying to survive.

Unless I’m missing something behind the need to know this stuff we should just let them rest in peace.
