Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered. He then began to curse me, shouting terrible words and saying that I was a traitor, that I would get a terrible
punishment. He kept on cursing uncontrollably. I remained standing as tall as I could, not reacting at all to his words.
The more he shouted, the more nervous he became. He began to pace from wall to wall. Suddenly, he spun on his
heel and said, "What shall I do with you?"
At that moment, I began to feel that I was getting a little more control of the situation. I felt as though I'd grown a little in
height. He studied me. I could hear him thinking, Here are two people standing across from each other who are from
one country, from one city. One hunts Jews and the other protects them. He quieted down a bit; his face became more
human.
