Amsterdam (APF)

(This is an absolutely fascinating web site- MUST SEE
especially in light of what is happening in America today.
Terrifying actually, because you see how normal life
looked before all hell broke loose...)

"AMSTERDAM (AFP) - Rare photographs
and a short film of Anne Frank, whose
diary of her time in hiding in Nazi-occupied
Amsterdam made her a symbol of the
Holocaust, are now available online, the
Anne Frank House said.

The foundation's website --
www.annefrank.org --
features the only existing
film footage of the young
Jewish girl, taken in 1941
before her family went into hiding during
the World War II occupation.

The black-and-white clip shows Anne
Frank leaning from a balcony, watching
the wedding preparations of one of her
neighbours."

1. I saw that film clip..

in a documentary a few years ago. I remember bursting into tears. I read the diary when I was about Anne's age, and I felt connected to her, a misfit and so free-spirited.

Seeing the film, it hit me how young she was, and how lovely.

Who oppose any intervention to stop genocide should read this.

7. I wonder how many Anne Franks there are in Iraq?

I wonder how much longer we would have waited if germany didn't declare war on us before we entered?

still seems like genocide isn't a very important priority to us concidering everything that has happened since...

guess we who never forget just gotta keep on pass'n the word.

8. I Had The Opportunity to See Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam

a couple of years ago. It was one of the most sombering sites these eyes have ever beheld. To actually walk in her footsteps was amazing and so very sad.

Anne Frank's life is always a shining example of what happens when hate rules the world.
