- Hanneli Goslar: We will start with a sentence my mother said always. My mother said, "God knows everything. Anna knows everything better." And this describes Anna, you understand?
- Hanneli Goslar: Anna was - in America you say spicy. Spicy girl. She always was fighting with the boys. The boys liked her. The girls liked her. She also always was in the center of things.
- Hanneli Goslar: [meeting Anne at Bergen-Belsen] I was standing there in the cold and I was waiting. And then suddenly I heard her - somebody calling me - and it was Anna. And this was - the first thing we both were starting to cry. And then I said, "What are you doing here? You were - are in Switzerland?" And she answered me, "We wanted this rumor to go around, because we hoped then the Germans will not look after us." And then she said she had nobody anymore. And this was not right and I am so very sorry.
- Hanneli Goslar: [about her time in Bergen-Belsen] One day a friend of mine tells me, "You know, between all these women, there is your friend, Anne Frank." And, I don't know, I felt very crazy, because I was thinking the whole time, Anna is safe and she's in Switzerland. I was sure of this. This was what the tenant said to me.
- Hanneli Goslar: [meeting Anne at Bergen-Belsen] I always think, if she had known her father is still alive, after her sister died, she just was without any hope. And, maybe she had, you know, it was only one month she died before the liberation. But, she didn't know and so, she had, really nothing to live for.
- Hanneli Goslar: I'm quite obliged to tell about her. And she wanted to be so very famous. I can't help a lot of this, but, a little bit. I think, what a waste, such a young life should end and without any, any reason. She could have really given something to the world. The whole thing is crazy. My father died there one week after I saw her and I don't know. I cannot judge this whole period. Nobody can understand it, I think. I don't know.
