I think this is a wonderful idea. I also say “yasher koach!” I hope you get many responses. I did visit the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam in the early 1970’s. I know a man who was a hidden child during the Holocaust in Holland. I am sure he will be interested in this project. I read Anne Frank’s diary when it first came out in the 1940’s. Since I am two years younger than Anne Frank, I was too young to really appreciate her courage and humanity.

The Anne-site locked up my Safari on a G4 iBook – same at work. And the fields for filling out your birthdate is, hm, where is year and where is the one call date? It differs from european style i guess, with, like, 1977-01-06 for january the sixth.

It is not so generally known but there were hundreds if not thousands of other ‘Anne Frank’ type girls living like that in Amsterdam during the war. Some who survived, one of them in fact lives near me, she is still aliveand well, merited to marry and have children, all successful professional people, great contributors to Israel and local community, and wonderful grandchildren as well.
