...increased. The likelihood of endorsement was also affected by race, religion and socioeconomics, with white or non-religious parents being more likely to say they would consider hastening death. "Parents who identified as more religious were less likely to admit they had such thoughts [of hastening death]," says Veronica Dussel, a Dana-Farber research fellow and lead author of the study, which was published on Monday in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. "Parents with higher incomes were more likely to say they...
...play, like the diary, is not a unilaterally depressing work. The Frank family shares their hiding space, the top floors of the annex to an office building in Amsterdam, with Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, the Van Daan's son Peter and Mr. Dussel, a dentist.

The voice of a loudspeaker dominated all others; it bellowed: 'Women to the left, men to the right!' I saw them go away: Mr. Van Daan, Mr. Dussel, Peter, Mr. Frank." The men never saw the women again. The women were told that trucks were ready to take the small children and the sick to the prison. But those who fought their way into the trucks never reached the camp; they vanished from-the face of the earth...
