Today's lunch marks an occasion on which we can reflect on these aspirations, and appreciate both Such was Rolf's courage and spirit that he refused how far the Trust has come since my husband to allow this tragic beginning to define him. He went was first involved, and how very important its work on to live a full and successful life in London: he continues to be.

Kitty sets out on a relentless quest to find Anne Frank. It’s the beginning of an adventurous journey. SYNOPSIS WHERE IS ANNE FRANK begins with a miracle: Kitty, the imaginary friend to whom Anne Frank wrote in her famous Diary, comes to life in present-day Amsterdam. Unaware that 75 years have gone by, Kitty is convinced that if she is alive, then Anne must be alive too. WHERE IS ANNE FRANK tells the story of Kitty’s quest across contemporary Europe to find her beloved friend. Armed with the precious Diary and with help from her friend Peter, who runs a secret shelter for undocumented refugees, Kitty follows Anne’s traces, from the Annex to her tragic end in the Holocaust. Disoriented by our broken world, and the injustices that child refugees endure, Kitty wants to fulfill Anne’s cause. Through her honesty, she presents a message of hope and generosity addressed to future generations. STATEMENT FROM ANNE FRANK FONDS BASEL Shortly after Otto Frank published the Diary of his daughter Anne Frank in 1947 for the first time, he decided to have it adapted for stage and film.

  • “And Then They Came for Me...”
    “AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME...” (Image: The National WWII Museum, 2014.057.036_1.) Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party’s rise to power in Germany ushered in an era of attacks against people Hitler deemed undesirable. Jews living across Europe became the primary target of Nazi hatred and violence. Attacks against other groups of people—such as individuals with mental or physical disabilities, political prisoners, Romani, Soviet citizens and prisoners of war, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, Slavs, and Jehovah’s Witnesses—also became a part of the Nazi program to “purify” German society. Those who did not fit within Nazi standards of a “master race” faced capture and horrific brutality in the attempted genocide now known as the Holocaust. From 1939 to 1941, the Nazis steadily took steps toward a formal policy of extermination. Known as the Final Solution, this policy spread to each region that fell under Nazi rule throughout World War II. Anti-Semitism had been present throughout Europe for centuries, peaking during times of upheaval, such as the Crusades or outbreaks of plague. This historical precedent perpetuated hateful stereotypes that again resurfaced in the era of upheaval that followed Germany’s defeat in World War I. While anti-Semitism had been limited to fringe political groups, the rising popularity of the Nazi Party helped promote ideas of segregating and removing the Jewish population from the region. While not all Germans actively supported the anti-Semitic attacks taken by the Nazis, many adopted an attitude of indifference toward the treatment of their Jewish neighbors.

  • Anne Frank: the Commemoration of Individual Experiences of the Holocaust
    Journalism and Mass Communication, September 2016, Vol. 6, No. 9, 542-554 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2016.09.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Anne Frank: The Commemoration of Individual Experiences of the Holocaust Rudi Hartmann University of Colorado Denver, Denver, USA Holocaust memorial sites rarely tell the story of individual fates but rather give attention to the main or larger population groups that were the focus of persecution and extermination during the Nazi Germany twelve years of terror in Europe 1933-45. This essay takes a closer look at one of the most remarkable exemptions of the prevailing memory culture at Holocaust memorials: the sites and events highlighting Anne Frank and her short life in troubled times. Over the past years millions of travelers from all over the world have shown a genuine interest in learning about the life world of their young heroine thus creating what has been termed Anne Frank Tourism. In 2014, 1.2 million people visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam: the museum and educational center, the place in hiding where she wrote her now famous and widely read diary. Several other sites connected to the life path of Anne Frank, from her birth place in Frankfurt to the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp where her life prematurely ended, have also become part of the mostly young tourists’ search for Anne Frank’s life and legacy. With the rising popularity of Anne Frank related sites the management of some of the locales has become more problematic which is discussed in the context of a several museums, centers and historic sites.

Februar 2020 Anzug Stephan Luethi-Brüderlin und Konsorten betreffend «eine Anne Frank-Terrasse in Basel würde uns gut anstehen» Der Grosse Rat hat an seiner Sitzung vom 20. Dezember 2018 den nachstehenden Anzug Ste- phan Luethi-Brüderlin und Konsorten dem Regierungsrat zum Bericht überwiesen: «Vor wenigen Tagen, am 18. Oktober 2018, wurden die Mitglieder des Grossen Rates aus Anlass der Feier von Rosch-ha-Schana, dem jüdischen Jahr 5779, in das künftige neue Haus des Jüdi- schen Museums der Schweiz, eingeladen. Wir wurden durch die Museumsdirektorin, Naomi Lubrich, durch die Ausstellung "Das Tagebuch. Wie Otto Frank Annes Stimme AUS BASEL in die Welt brachte.“ geführt. Im Angesicht dieser eindrucksvollen Ausstellung kam mir als Antragssteller meine Schriftliche An- frage aus dem Sommer 2009 in den Sinn. Damals frug ich nach der Möglichkeit, dieser Stimme von Anne Frank, welche ihr Vater Otto Frank aus Basel in die Welt hinaus tragen liess, hier in un- serer Stadt am Rhein einen öffentlichen Ort in Form einer Strassenbenennung zur bleibenden Er- innerung zu verhelfen. In der damaligen abschlägigen Antwort fielen zwar folgende Worte: "Die Nomenklaturkommission hat aufgrund eines bei ihr Ende letzten Jahres eingegangenen Vorschlages den Namen Anne Frank als für eine Basler Strassenbenennung grundsätzlich geeignet bezeichnet und ihn sich dementsprechend vorgemerkt.
