Liveblogging World War II: March 12, 1945: "I Saw Anne Frank Die" (Brad DeLong's Grasping Reality...)

I have a dim memory of Anne Frank speaking of her father. She was a nice, fine person. She would say to me, ‘Irma, I am very sick.’ I said, ‘No, you are not so sick.’ She wanted to be reassured that she wasn’t. When she slipped into a coma, I took her in my arms. She didn’t know that she was dying. She didn’t know that she was so sick. You never know. At Bergen-Belsen, you did not have feelings anymore. You became paralyzed. In all the years since, I almost never talked about Bergen-Belsen. I couldn’t. It was too much.
