Bruno Bettelheim's Criticism of The Frank Family

In an article titled "Anne Frank's ignorance course", writer Bruno Bettelheim mentioned another view toward Frank's family. Bruno Bettelheim came to the United States in 1939 after spending one year at the camp of Buchenwald and Dachau. Then he spent the rest of his career at the University of Chicago. Bruno Bettelheim said in his article that his intention is not to oppress the Frank family, but most of his articles showed that he criticized Frank. Bettelheim said the Frank family did not correctly plan and prepare.

In 1960, Blue Novel Telheim (a psychoanalyst and himself a survivor of the Nazi camp) wrote and published an important article "An ignored lesson of Anne Frank". In this work, Barth Heim encouraged reinterpretation of moral understanding caused by the story of Anne Frank and a change in the direction of sympathy of the public. His main question is "a general and non-critical reaction to her diary and its drama and movie, and this reaction will tell us how to deal with her fate ... to us It is an emotion caused. (622) He confirmed the three typical postwar mechanisms for dealing with torture and mass murder in Nazi death camps. People of most civilizations think this is unbelievable, deny the evidence, and condemn the atrocities of crazy transformational subgroups. (621) Finally, some people believe in these reports. (622)

After reading the Bruno Bertelheim article, Anne Frank and her family may show different reactions. First of all, they will be insulted, disappointed, and will definitely be defensive. But then they will think that Bettelheim 's debate on the various choices hidden together can save their lives. As they love each other, accepting to live like a family before the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands is no longer an ideal way of life; in fact, it is the most dangerous for them and for others like them is. If the family member lives apart from the family in the Netherlands and is living separately, all or most of the family can survive. This is not the first time for Frank. When they first fled from Frankfurt to the Netherlands, the family I stayed apart for several months. Annie told us like this. "My father moved to the Netherlands in 1933 ... My mother ... I went with him in September and Margot and I were sent to Aachen to stay with my grandmother .
