  • House and Table Companion (1942-1944)
    HOUSE AND TABLE COMPANION (1942-1944) During the hiding period, Bep developed the habit of usually having lunch in the Annex. She was always welcome, espe- cially to Anne, who always demanded that Bep sit with her at the table. Apparently, Anne considered her to be a perma- nent fixture at the afternoon table. When she discussed the goings-on during lunch in her diary, she described Bep as well as the eight hiders: “No. 9 is not an Annex family member, but certainly a house and table companion. Bep has a healthy appetite. Doesn’t leave anything on her plate, is not picky. One can please her with anything and that pleases us. Happy and cheerful, willing and good-natured, those are her traits.” 1 Bep was aware that her presence at the lunch table was a positive addition to the Annex. She let the hiders express their wishes and needs, after which she tried to grant those with the limited means at her disposal. Additionally, Bep had an infor- matory role at the table. She was able to paint a truthful picture of the outside world and while she concealed some of the sadder events, she had everyone’s full attention when she spoke. Moreover, Bep was an outspoken participant in discussions on the war. Later, son Joop was told by his mother how things went at such times: “They discussed politics. The people who were running things at the time, or the people who weren’t there 74 at all, and who they felt should have been there.

  • Readers' Companion to the Diary of Anne Frank
    www.annefrank.com READERS’ COMPANION TO THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK © The Anne Frank Center USA Introduction Wednesday, April 5, 1944 ...I Finally realized that I must do my schoolwork to keep from being ignorant, to get on in life, to become a journalist, because that’s what I want! I know I can write... it remains to be seen whether I really have talent...I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to!...I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death! And that’s why I’m so grateful to God for having given me this gift, which I can use to develop myself and to express all that’s inside me! When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that’s a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? Anne Frank The Legacy of Anne Frank Anne Frank’s story succeeds because it is a personal story that enables individuals to understand one of the watershed events of our time, and because it communicates what can happen when hate and intolerance prevail. The essence of Anne Frank’s message has become a universal symbol of tolerance, strength, and hope in the face of adversity — a symbol transcending all cultures and ages and conveying the idea that discrimination and intolerance are wrong and dangerous.

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.
