The Daily Telegraph depicts a picture of Anne Frank, who died of disease in Bergen Belsen at the age of 15 in March 1945, just weeks before the liberation of the concentration camp.
“Created for the Anne Frank Trust UK to mark her birthday on Friday – using the same techniques developed to artificially age missing people such as toddler Madeleine McCann – it is hoped the picture will help inspire Britain’s school children to think about the kind of lives they would like to lead, and to remember the loss of six million people in the Holocaust”.
“Anne’s half-sister Eva Schloss, a survivor of Auschwitz who played with her as a child in Amsterdam, saw the aged image for the first time on Thursday.
‘I must say I was a bit shocked… I don’t really know why,’ she said. ‘It is a beautiful lady, very gentle, very kind-looking with this gentle smile.’”

How incredibly profound.
Eva Schloss was a “Step sister”, not a “half sister” of Ann Frank. Ann’s father Otto married Eva Schloss’ mother after the war
What is the point of this picture? The fact is she did NOT live to be an 80 year old woman. The fact is that she was murdered as a young girl by the sonai-Yisrael, yimach shemam. It is the picture of her as a young girl that people should remember and the fact that her chance to grow up and have a life was stolen from her by barbarians.
