What if, he speculates, Anne had survived the Holocaust and escaped to the United States, where she was living incognito? In Zuckerman’s fantasy, Anne even attends the Broadway play based on her diary and is shaken by the sight of audience members sobbing over her presumed fate. Roth isn’t alone in conjecturing what might have happened if Anne hadn’t died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in the winter of 1945. Anyone reading her diary, or watching its play and film adaptations, can’t help imagining a different outcome. In part, it’s because Anne and the other seven people who hid for two years in the legendary Achterhuis, or Secret Annex – the upper back floors of Otto Frank’s wholesale spice business on Amsterdam’s Prinsengracht (Prince’s Canal) – came so painfully close to outwitting the Nazis. Anne’s last diary entries, vibrant with hope, describe the D-Day invasion of June 1944, and we know that in less than a year the First Canadian Army would liberate German- occupied Holland. Even more agonizing is the fact that Anne and her sister Margot succumbed to the typhus epidemic at Bergen-Belsen just a month before British troops entered the camp. What really makes us ache, and speculate, however, is that we’ve fallen in love with Anne. The girl that emerges from the pages of that plaid-covered diary is lively, funny, intelligent, precocious and remarkably insightful. She’s a lippy

  • ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED by Anna Schafer Most of Us Have Read
    ANNE FRANK REMEMBERED by Anna Schafer Most of us have read the story of Anne Frank and her diary. In much of the world it has been part of the school curriculum ever since the book's first publication in 1947. Anne’s main message has always been seen as one of optimism and conciliation in the face of the utter barbarism of her time. At the age of 14, in her diary entrance of the 15th of July, 1944. she makes her famous statement: “Still, I keep my ideals, because, in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.“ (p.237) Anne was born July 12 1929 in Frankfurt. Because of rising Anti-Semitism the family left Germany in 1933 and settled in the Netherlands. I myself was born ten years later, in April 1939 in Vienna, a year after the annexation of Austria and six months before the German attack on Poland. When I was three I was sent by train to North Germany to non-Jewish relatives, who lived in the small village of Andorf, near the Dutch border. Anne and I shared our first names, Anne. We also shared two languages and cultures, German and Dutch. However, Anne knew that her family was in hiding because they were Jews. I did not discover my Jewishness until I was an adult. We both lived through all six years of WWII. They were Anne’s last and my first years of life. There are barely 200 km between Amsterdam and Andorf and the Bergen- Belsen camp where Anne died in early March 1945 is only 150 km east of Andorf.

    Miep Gies, Protector of Anne Frank, Dies at 100 By RICHARD GOLDSTEIN -- Published: January 11, 2010 Miep Gies displayed a copy of her Miep Gies, the last survivor among Anne Frank’s protectors and the woman who preserved the book “Anne Frank Remembered” at diary that endures as a testament to the human spirit in the face of unfathomable evil, died her apartment in Amsterdam in Monday night, the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam said. She was 100. 1998. (Steve North/Associated Press) The British Broadcasting Corporation said Mrs. Gies suffered a fall late last month and died at a nursing home. “I am not a hero,” Mrs. Gies wrote in her memoir, “Anne Frank Remembered,” published in 1987. “I stand at the end of the long, long line of good Dutch people who did what I did and more — much more — during those dark and terrible times years ago, but always like yesterday in the heart of those of us who bear witness.” Mrs. Gies sought no accolades for joining with her husband and three others in hiding Anne Frank, her father, mother and older sister and four other Dutch Jews for 25 months in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. But she came to be viewed as a courageous figure when her role in sheltering Anne Frank was revealed with the publication of her memoir. She then traveled the world while in her 80s, speaking against intolerance. The West German government presented her with its highest civilian medal in 1989, and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands knighted her in 1996.

    Video Catalogue Eric Roberts October 28, 2004 AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE, Robbie Leppzer,1997, 1:30. This film follows the history of Randy Kehler and Betsy Corner,two tax resisters from Colrain, Massachusetts. After years of refusing to pay war taxes, the Federal Government seized their home and sold it to pay the arrears. The film chronicles the campaign of nonviolent resistance to save their home but also explores the class and political conflicts that arise between the resisters and the family that buys the home. THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA: QUEEN OF THE DESERT, Stephen Elliot, 1994, 1:42. The story line of the film involves a group of three drag performers from the Sydneygay nighclubs who drive their lavender bus, Priscilla, across the desert to perform in Alice Springs. The fun comes from the energy that the trio and supporting cast bring to the adventure, which ends up being a wonderfully funnyand life-affirming tale. AGAINST THE CURRENT,Dmitri Delov, The Glasnost Film Festival, 1988, 0:27. ‘‘This is a film about ecological crime. Despite being labeled extremists, the residents of Kirishi protest a major syn- thetic protein plant. ‘Wecouldn’tbreathe, we coughed, we buried our children . .. but we couldn’tput up with it anymore,’ayoung woman shouts indignantly at a rally.’’[from the film notes] ALICE’S RESTAURANT,Arthur Penn, 1969, 1:51.
