“No one has ever become poor by giving.” Monday Reflection “No one has ever become poor by giving.” www.HumansNotRobots.co.uk

Who said it? Anne Frank was a German Jewish girl who had to go into hiding with her family when the Nazis took control. The Nazis made Jewish people a scapegoat for Germany’s problems. They took away their rights to vote, own property and to work in professional jobs. They spread lies about them and turned many ordinary people against them. Many people were afraid to speak out or help. They then started placing Jews in prison camps – and eventually started killing them, in what we now call ‘The Holocaust’. When Anne Frank fled, a group of people in Holland sheltered her and gave her food, clothing etc. They did this during a time of war and poverty. More importantly, they were risking their lives. Before being captured, Anne Frank kept a diary which has become an important text from that time. www.HumansNotRobots.co.uk
