#Anne Frank House

[lemme-be-ur-motivation]

The Nazis only existed from the start of the 1930s to the mid-40s. Palestinians have been targeted by first Britain then Israel for over a literal century, with the very real possibility of Palestinian casualties eclipsing the Holocaust death toll if Israel is allowed to continue.

"Many victims on both sides" insinuates Israel and Palestine engaging in equally-footed mutually-assured destruction, not the former killing tenfold more citizens than the latter.

If Israel's mass geno/infanticide of Gaza and the West Bank is not considered "systemic extermination", I don't know what is.

The Anne Frank House gaslighting the world with complete disregard to the realities of millions of Gazan kids and teens who are living through the same fear for their lives as Anne when she wrote her diary is possibly the most disgusting display of hypocrisy imaginable.

Israel completely failed to learn from The Diary of Anne Frank, and in repeating it, has doomed Palestine.

Anne Franks legacy inspires Manchester book appeal

Have you ever read Anne Franks diary? Thanks to Maurice from West Didsbury, we’ve been back to the Wood Street Mission in Manchester, with copies of Anne Frank’s diary, which Maurice kindly donated to the ’Books Forever Appeal’.

Anne Frank was born in the German city of Frankfurt am Main in 1929. On her thirteenth birthday, just before Anne’s family went into hiding in NAZI occupied Amsterdam, Anne Frank was presented with a diary.

During the two years in hiding, Anne wrote about events in the Secret Annex, but also shared her thoughts and feelings. Writing also helped Anne document her experiences, of being a young Jewish woman in hiding from Hitler’s Third Reich.

Anne Frank had planned to publish a book about her time in the Secret Annex. After World War Two ended, her father Otto Frank fulfilled her wish and since then, Anne Frank’s diary has been translated into more than 70 languages.

Here in Manchester, at the St Johns Garden in the city centre, the Anne Frank tree was planted on June 12th 1998. The tree serves as a lasting memorial to Anne Frank and all children killed in wars and conflicts since WW2.

In 2013, a rose dedicated to Anne Frank was also planted at the Manchester Jewish Museum, to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. The rose planted had been grafted from one made in the year of Anne’s birth in 1929, and another from the year of her death in 1945.

What also makes this donation from Maurice meaningful, is that the city of  Manchester is home to some of the children and grandchildren of those British soldiers, who as liberators of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp, bore witness to where Anne Frank lost her life.

Anne Frank wrote in her diary; “where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.” Anne also wrote; “how lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world.”

For more information, please visit WoodStreetMission.org.uk or to donate new books for children aged 0-16 years, please send them to Wood Street Mission, 26 Wood Street, Manchester, M3 3EF, The UK.

Day 6 - Amsterdam (Anne Frank House)

Day 6 – Amsterdam (Anne Frank House)

We woke up early on Friday to embark on our last day of our journey. We had tickets for the Anne Frank House for 10:30 so we headed to the Pancake Bakery which is a little down the road. The pancake are well known, but very thin. I guess European pancakes are more like a thick crepe. We got various toppings and ate til we were filled. It is interesting they serve ice cream with pancakes, which…

WHY are people still shocked when european countries with atrocious histories of racism, fascism, antisemitism, etc., start to slide back into those behaviors?? none of the WWII related bigotry actually ended with WWII across europe. there has always been a remaining nazi presence. there has always been that hatred. it’s NOT surprising. it’s concerning, but you need to stop with the shock and awe. everyone who’s going to be affected by it has been warning about it for many years. ask yourself why you weren’t listening.

#g talks #‘the netherlands has always been so neutral!!’ #*stares in anne frank house* #like #these groups don’t just go away #and they’ll play the long game if it means regaining power #which they’re doing across europe #along with an astronomical rise in antisemitism #LISTEN TO JEWS YOU MORONS #mine #/mobile #/okay to reblog #antisemitism

Celebrating Ingrid Pitt

Ingrid Pitt (born Ingoushka Petrov; 21 November 1937 – 23 November 2010) was a Polish-British actress and writer best known for her work in horror films of the 1970s.

Ingoushka Petrov was born in Warsaw, Poland, one of two daughters of a father of German Jewish descent and a Polish Jewish mother. During World War II, she and her mother were imprisoned in Stutthof concentration camp in Sztutowo, Free City of Danzig (present-day Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland) but escaped. In Berlin, in the 1950s, Ingoushka married an American soldier, Laud Roland Pitt Jr., and moved to California. After her marriage failed she returned to Europe, but after a small role in a film, she took the shortened stage name "Ingrid Pitt", keeping her former husband's surname, and headed to Hollywood, where she worked as a waitress while trying to make a career in films.

In the early 1960s, Pitt was a member of the prestigious Berliner Ensemble, under the guidance of Bertolt Brecht's widow Helene Weigel. In 1965, she made her film debut in Doctor Zhivago, playing a minor role. In 1968, she co-starred in the low-budget science-fiction film The Omegans, and in the same year, played British spy Heidi Schmidt in Where Eagles Dare opposite Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.

Her work with Hammer Film Productions elevated her to cult figure status. She starred as Carmilla/Mircalla in The Vampire Lovers (1970), based on Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's novella Carmilla, and played the title role in Countess Dracula (1971), based on the legends about Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Pitt also appeared in the Amicus horror anthology film The House That Dripped Blood (1971) and had a small part in The Wicker Man (1973).

During the 1980s, Pitt returned to mainstream films and television. Her role as Fraulein Baum in the 1981 BBC Playhouse Unity, who is denounced as a Jew by Unity Mitford (Lesley-Anne Down), was uncomfortably close to her real-life experiences. Her popularity with horror film buffs had her in demand for guest appearances at horror conventions and film festivals. Other films in which Pitt has appeared outside the horror genre are: Who Dares Wins (1982) (or The Final Option), Wild Geese II (1985) and Hanna's War (1988). Generally cast as a villainess, her characters often died horribly at the end of the final reel. "Being the anti-hero is great – they are always roles you can get your teeth into."

In the 1980s she also reinvented herself as a writer. Her first book, after a number of ill-fated tracts on the plight of Native Americans, was the 1980 novel, Cuckoo Run, a spy story about mistaken identity. "I took it to Cubby Broccoli. It was about a woman called Nina Dalton who is pursued across South America in the mistaken belief that she is a spy. Cubby said it was a female Bond. He was being very kind."

In 1999, her autobiography, Life's a Scream (Heinemann) was published, and she was short-listed for the for her own reading of extracts from the audio book.

The autobiography detailed the harrowing experiences of her early life—in a Nazi concentration camp, her search through Europe in Red Cross refugee camps for her father, and her escape from East Berlin, one step ahead of the Volkspolizei. "I always had a big mouth and used to go on about the political schooling interrupting my quest for thespian glory. I used to think like that. Not good in a police state."

Pitt died in a south London hospital on 23 November 2010, a few days after collapsing, and two days after her 73rd birthday, from congestive heart failure.

Seven months before she died, Pitt finished narration for Ingrid Pitt: Beyond the Forest (2011), an animated short film on her experience in the Holocaust, a project that had been in the works for five years. Character design and storyboards were created by two-time Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Bill Plympton. The film is directed by Kevin Sean Michaels; co-produced and co-written by Jud Newborn, Holocaust expert and author, "Sophie Scholl and the White Rose"; and drawn by 10-year-old animator, Perry Chen.

Anne Franks diary proves the pen is mightier than the sword

It has been 75 years since one of the most beloved books of the 20th century first appeared. Its author was a teenage girl who initially began writing only for herself, in order to confide her private thoughts to her diary.  A victim of the NAZI Holocaust, Anne Frank was just a teenager when she died at the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp.

Anne Franks diary was first published in 1947. She had come up with the title of the book herself: The Secret Annex. The Dutch edition received positive reviews, such as 'a war document of striking density' and ‘Parents and educators are strongly advised to read this diary.’ Anne Frank's diary is now available in over 70 languages.  

As Gillian Walnes Perry recently wrote; "The young Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai cites Anne Frank’s diary as her favourite book. Nelson Mandela described how a copy of Anne Frank's diary was smuggled into Robben Island prison, where prisoners were encouraged to read it as a testament to the power of the human spirit."

In 2021, Library of Exile was created as a 'space to sit and read and be'. An installation at the British Museum by artist and writer, Edmund de Waal, Library of Exile housed more than 2,000 books by exiled authors. The books within the library have since travelled to their final home in Iraq, to support survivors of the 2014 ISIS genocide at the University of Mosul.
