The true story behind anne frank and her family.
Otto frank and his family emigrated from Germany to Holland in 1933. It is interesting to note that the various anne frank Websites blame the emigration on anti-semitic policies of the National Socialists. However, Hitler did not gain power until after the passage of the Enabling Act on March 24, 1933 and the Nuremberg laws were not passed until September 1935. By then otto frank had been in Holland for over two years.
While in Holland, frank had established his franchise for the Amsterdam branch of Opekta pectin company by September 1933, evidently after months of planning.
Holland did not give the franks Dutch citizenship. When the Germans occupied Holland in 1940 frank was happy to do business with the Occupying German Army. The pectin his firm produced was essential for the preservation of the German army’s rations. Certain kinds of pectin would also be used in balms for wounds, as a hardener in steel, and emulsifier in oil.
According to the Munich Agreement, the Sudetenland is annexed to the German Reich.The soldiers of the Wehrmacht march through the streets of As accompanied by Sudeten German children.
Here Joseph and Magda Goebbels are listening to the broadcast of the boxing match between Max Schmeling and Joe Louis in New York City, with Schmeling's wife, Czech actress Anny Ondra, seated between them. Schmeling gave black American Joe Louis his first defeat, winning the match in four rounds. Adolf Hitler then contacted Ondra, sending her flowers and a message: "For the wonderful victory of your husband, our greatest German boxer, I must congratulate you with all my heart." June 19, 1936.
'I have chosen the struggle,
Have bound myself to it,
Will stay faithful to it,
Until earth covers me.
That they may kill my friends
Is possible;
That they should kill me
Is also possible.
That we should capitulate:
Never, never, never!'

The marriage certificate of Mr and Mrs Adolf Hitler
The persons listed under 1 and 2 declare that they are of pure Aryan descent and are not affected by any hereditary diseases. They request, with regard to the war-related circumstances due to extraordinary conditions of the wartime, the issuance of a marriage license and further request that all required periods of notice be waived.
The requests are granted. The marriage license issued today has been found to be in order and legally valid. In the meantime, however, due to the current situation, I ask the persons listed under 1 and 2 to clarify whether they are willing to proceed with the marriage.
The ceremony was witnessed by Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister, and Martin Bormann, Hitler's private secretary.
