Eva Schloss, whose mother married Anne’s father, said presidential candidate Trump was behaving just like the evil dictator and criticised the US for not taking in more refugees Her comments came after Trump said that the 200,000 refugees earmarked for the US could be members of the Islamic State (ISIS). He said: "I'm putting the people on notice that are coming here from Syria as part of this mass migration, that if I win, if I win, they're going back.”

Mrs Schloss, who lives in London, was angered by the comments and said: “I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism. “If Donald Trump becomes the next president of the US, it would be a complete disaster. “This is not just a European problem, it’s a global problem,” she said.

“If countries as big as the US and Canada would take in more people, then we would get much closer to a solution. “The situation today is worse than it was under Hitler because at that time all the Allies – the US, Russia and Britain – worked together to combat the terrible threat of Nazism.” Mrs Schloss also urged more countries to take in Syrian refugees, saying if more Jews had been offered a safe place to live, there would have been far fewer deaths in the Holocaust.

The 86-year-old, who was liberated from Auschwitz by the Russians in 1945, said: “I am very upset that today again so many countries are closing their borders. "Fewer people would have died in the Holocaust if the world had accepted more Jewish refugees. “I was 11 years old when my family first immigrated to Belgium.

“We were treated as if we had come from the moon. I felt as if I wasn’t wanted and that I was different to everybody. “It is even harder for today’s Syrian refugees who have a very different culture. “We were Europeans as well as Jews – we were assimilated.

“I was shocked that I wasn’t accepted like an ordinary person.” Anne Frank, who was Jewish, is remembered for the diary she kept while hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam with her father Otto, sister Margaret and mother. The family were betrayed and sent to Nazi death camps where the only survivor was Otto Frank. The diary was published posthumously after the war and has been read by millions around the world with many seeing it as a young girl’s record of life under a tyrannical regime.
