Life in Frankfurt 4 - the official Anne Frank House website: "Speechless and Stunned
When Adolf Hitler becomes the head of the German government on January 30, 1933, Otto and Edith Frank are visiting friends. Otto Frank describes that moment: “We were sitting around the table listening to the radio. Then came the news that Hitler had become Chancellor. This was followed by a report of the Brownshirt’s torch lit procession in Berlin and we could hear the screaming and cheering. Hitler ended his speech with the words: ‘Just give me four years.' Our host then said enthusiastically: ‘Let’s see what that man can do!’ I was speechless, my wife stunned.”"
