Anne

My sister together with her youngest daughter Rinatjah, 17 years old, is visiting my mother.
Rinatjah wanted to visit the Anne Frank House, so this afternoon we went to the Anne Frank House. It had been a while since I’d been there.
Afterwards we walked home and my niece said: “I don’t understand how Jews can live in the Netherlands. After everything that happened.” “Jews can live anywhere,” I answered.
“But they will get married to gentiles,” my niece said. “The Jews are going to disappear.”
“Mixed marriages are good for everybody,” I said.
Then we went to a tearoom where my niece ordered an apple juice.
