Ali's Connection #4
Connection 4: I don't know the slightest thing about the stock market, but I think it might be a little bit similar to the Frank family going into hiding. What I'm seeing is that people's money "lived" in the stock market, like the Frank family lived in the Netherlands. Had people seen the economic downturn coming, I'm guessing they would have moved their money out of the stock market. The Franks, if they thought the get as bad is it did, might have moved out of Europe while they had the chance. Because people did not have enough foresight, they lost a lot. The Franks (and all of those people-groups persecuted by Nazis) lost either their lives at death camps, or at least several years of their lives while in hiding. And, though it pales in comparison, people with money in the stock market may have lost a good amount of it.

ReplyDeleteI would have to definitely agree with you that if the Franks had had more foresight like the people who invested in the stock market, they would have moved out of Europe. But also, you have to understand that this Holocaust took the Jewish population like a tsunami. They had no idea but even Otto Frank had enough foresight to move out of Germany and into Netherlands. By doing that, he probably allowed his famly to live longer then they would have in Germany.
