June 12, 1929


She would have been 80 today.

Go read her book. Know her story.

Never forget. Never again.

Hello

Could I ask?

How it was possible to write that in that time in that certain pencil?

Do you wonder?

I understood that those pencils were common in 1950`s not before

Hey;)

There is three degrees court stairs in Finland

1 degree ( Käräjäoikeus ) in my case judgement 30.5.2008 2 years 4 months prisonery

Complaining led to

2 degree justice ( Turun hovioikeus ) 26-27.5.2009 - Judment becomes in 30 days after that

So I hope reald justice not NKVD = KGB = puppet justice.

I have read history in Tampere university. I such cases as history there should not be any issue so called "faith" or believing, neither in judge cases. Everything should be absolutely true or releasing case category fairy tale books.

Am I right?

Have I read wrong when I have seen so called picture of Anne Frank diaries where the "print" or marks seems to be our days ink in our ways written. Did I made my point of wiew understood?

What I have seen war time letters they have had ordinary scool pencil marks, not these days ink and pen.

Yours Sincerely

I was in Amsterdam in March and visited Anne Frank's attic and it was the most moving experience of my trip to Europe. If you've read the diary, everything suddenly comes to life as you tour the attic, which has a carefully hidden entrance behind a bookshelf. As her father did not want the attic to be as it was originally (as it brought painful memories), he had all of the furniture removed. The only decorations in the attic are in Anne's room. Her original posters of 1930s/40s era Chanel fashion, animals, and family pictures still grace the walls. Her actual diary is in a display case at the exit of the attic and you can read her very own writing. There is nothing fabricated about Anne Frank and saying anything otherwise, in my opinion, borders dangerously close to the realm of holocaust denial.

Seppo,
What do you think of what Total has to say?

Always On Watch said...

Anne Frank so believed that people are good -- so she stated in her diary.

I wonder if she still thought so toward the end.

I've read her diary several times. It's heartbreaking in so many respects. But uplifting too. Strange, huh?

Total said...

AoW,

The diary's ability to influence your emotions so heavily is what makes it so special. Nelson Mandela said that he read Anne Frank's diary during his 20+ year tenure in prison and that her story helped him persevere through such difficult and hopeless times. The other intriguing part about the diary comes from Anne Frank's father, who had a very strong relationship with his daughter. He said that after he read the diary for the first time, he came to the conclusion that no matter how well you think you know your child, you are only really scratching the surface of their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This is something that can relate to all parents and children.

It's possible that people are good as Anne seemed to believe, but they are not just weak, but very very weak.

To truly understand Ann Frank's Diary, it should be followed by two other books...

Hitler's Willing Executioner's by Daniel Goldhagen, and THE RIGHTEOUS which will inspire you fro months, by Martin Gilbert

When the students of a Tennessee middle school began studying the holocaust nobody could have predicted the results. The children started collecting paper clips to help visualize the vast number of victims and their efforts culminated in a unique memorial that changed the lives of everyone involved.
