  • The Sapling Project
    The Sapling Project http://annefranktreeusa.com/ From her only window to the outside world, Anne Frank could see the sky, birds and a majestic chestnut tree. “As long as this exists”, Anne wrote in her diary, “how can I be sad?” During the two years she spent in the Secret Annex, the solace Anne found in her chestnut tree provided a powerful contrast to the Holocaust unfolding beyond her attic window. And as war narrowed in on Anne and her family, her tree became a vivid reminder that a better world was possible. Anne’s tree would outlive its namesake by more than 50 years, before being weakened by disease and succumbing to a windstorm in 2010. But today, thanks to dozens of saplings propagated in the months before its death, Anne’s tree lives on in cities and towns around the world. Here in the United States, the Sapling Project is bringing eleven of these precious trees to specially selected locations across the country. As the saplings take root, they will emerge as living monuments to Anne’s pursuit of peace and tolerance. In the process, they will serve as powerful reminders of the horrors borne by hate and bigotry and the need for collective action in the face of injustice. The Tree in Anne’s Diary During a speech delivered in 1968, Anne’s father, Otto Frank, reflected on just how important Anne’s tree was to his youngest daughter. “How could I have known”, he asked “how much it meant to Anne to see a patch of blue sky, to observe the seagulls as they flew, and how important the chestnut tree was for her, when I think that she never showed any interest in nature”.

  • OCEAN LINER SUNSET by Ted Scull Friday, November 17, 2017 – 6:00 PM at the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35Th Street, Manhattan
    NOVEMBER, 2017 VOLUME XXXIV, # 10 OCEAN LINER SUNSET By Ted Scull Friday, November 17, 2017 – 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 East 35th Street, Manhattan Ted will take us on a half-dozen voyages aboard ships that represent the end of their type: passenger-container ship, Royal Mail Ship, colonial liner, liner converted to cruising, and a pair of Atlantic liners. First, we will venture from Buenos Aires on a 26-day, northbound voyage to Brooklyn aboard Ivaran Lines’ super-comfy, 86-passenger-container ship, AMERICANA. Intended to be the first of a new breed of combo-ship, and officially classified as a scheduled passenger vessel, she attained priority access to congested Brazilian ports. Next, we're aboard the Royal Mail Ship ST. HELENA, living on borrowed time as her namesake island’s brand-new airport located deep in the South Atlantic finally opened to regular air service from South Africa after a long delay due to severe wind shear. The RMS represented the very last of the long-distance mail ships and served the island with everything it required, except fuel. Ships built to serve colonial empires slowly disappeared as one possession after another declared independence. Using the British India liner SS KARANJA as an example, Ted will introduce us to people who had to pull up stakes in East Africa and find another home. Regency Cruises was a major operator of second-hand ships until it declared bankruptcy. On this journey, we will follow the REGENT SEA, converted from Swedish Americas Line’s GRIPSHOLM of 1957, on a cruise to the Mayan ruins of Belize, Honduras, and Belize.

  • 5 Plan Resource 21
    5 PLAN RESOURCE 21 Project summary Project :‘The story of the city’ Country: The Netherlands AFY members: Dzifa Kusenuh and Mimi Oldenhave “We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.” Anne Frank A lot of the problems between people come from the fact that they don’t know each other. If you don’t know the other person, it’s much easier to be prejudiced about them, which makes it easier to insult the other. For this project, a ‘living room’ setting was created on the Leidseplein , in the city center of Amsterdam. People who passed by were asked if they were willing to have a three-minute conversation with a complete stranger. The reactions varied greatly. Some people ignored the question, others were interested and listened, but had no time to stay. The ones who wanted to join the experiment asked each other questions such as: “If you would have to choose between 6, 16, and 36, which age would you choose and why?’’ or “What is your biggest fear?’’ 1 5 PLAN Project: The conscience tree workshop Country: Belgium AFY member: Yaël Bergman Yael Bergman did a workshop with a group of thirty teenagers of 14 and 15 years old from a Jewish Belgian youth movement (JJL). The workshop took place during a seminar, just before their autumn camp. The workshop was a “discussion-reflection” on the different problems the Belgian society is facing today (discrimination, racism, anti-semitism, inequalities). To discuss these topics, they used the tool of the conscience tree.

  • Cruising with Holland America Line Tourism, Corporate Identity and Corporate History
    1 Cruising with Holland America Line Tourism, corporate identity and corporate history Ferry de Goey Faculty of History and Arts Erasmus University Rotterdam The Netherlands [email protected] Paper for the EBHA Conference 2005 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (September 1 - 3, 2005) Session 2 C: Images of Transport Do not quote without permission. © Ferry de Goey (2005) 2 “The reason for our success is that we meet and exceed the expectations of our guests every day; we create dr eams for them every day. There is no better value.” (Micky Arison, Chairman and CEO Carnival Corporation, 2004) If you remember Captain Stubing, cruise director Julie McCoy, bartender Isaac Washington, and yeoman-purser “Gopher” Smith of the 1970s television series The Love Boat, you probably have the right age to take a cruise.1 You shall not be alone; in 2005, about 11.1 million people will join you on a cruise. Economic research documents the tremendous growth of tourism in general and particularly the cruise industry after the 1960s. Worldwide employment in tourism in 2001 was 207 million jobs or 8 percent of all jobs. About 11 percent (or 3.3 trillion US Dollars) of global GDP is contributed by the tourist industry and some 698 million tourists generated this economic result. While tourism used to be located in Europe and the USA (in 1950 the top 15 tourist attractions were all located in Europe and the USA), today tourism is a global industry with multinational enterprises.2 Tourism is an exceptionally dynamic industry with businesses constantly inventing new attractions.
