ANNE FRANK


Survey shows lack of Holocaust awareness in the Netherlands

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — (AP) — A Jewish group that commissioned a survey on Holocaust awareness in the Netherlands said Wednesday that the results show “a disturbing lack of awareness of key historical facts about the Holocaust,” prompting calls for better education in the nation that was home to diarist Anne Frank and her family. Of the 140,000 Jews who lived in the Netherlands before World War II, 102,000 were murdered in the Holocaust. Despite that grim history, 53% of those surveyed do not cite the Netherlands as a country where the Holocaust took place. “Survey after survey, we continue to witness a decline in Holocaust knowledge and awareness. In 2021, he opened a Holocaust monument in Amsterdam.

Dutch publisher pulls Anne Frank betrayal book amid critique

Netherlands Anne Frank FILE - A photo of Anne Frank stands on a replica of the writing desk she once used in her family's former apartment in Amsterdam, during an event to mark what would have been Anne Frank's 90th birthday, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Wednesday, June 12, 2019. The cold case team's research, which was published early this year in the book "The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation," by Canadian academic and author Rosemary Sullivan, immediately drew criticism in the Netherlands. Dutch filmmaker Thijs Bayens, who had the idea to put together the cold case team, conceded in January that the team did not have 100% certainty about Van den Bergh. The Anne Frank House museum, which is based in the building where the Frank family hid, had no immediate comment on the historian's research. In January, museum director Ronald Leopold called the cold case team's conclusion “an interesting theory” but said he believed that "there are still many missing pieces of the puzzle.

“I apologize for my reference to Anne Frank, especially to families that suffered the Holocaust horrors,” Kennedy said in a tweet Tuesday morning.

Kennedy, on Sunday had complained that the nation's leading infectious disease doctor, Anthony Fauci, was orchestrating "fascism." You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did,” he told the crowd.

Publisher removes Anne Frank passage from Hilderbrand novel

NEW YORK — (AP) — Elin Hilderbrand has asked that a reference to Anne Frank in her new novel be taken out after numerous online readers alleged the passage was insensitive and anti-Semitic. “In a flashback scene in Elin Hilderbrand’s novel ‘Golden Girl,’ the main character Vivi compares herself to Anne Frank,” publisher, Little, Brown and Company, announced Friday. “We are removing this passage from the digital edition of the book immediately, and from all future print editions.”In “Golden Girl,” Vivi and her friend Savannah are talking about staying in the attic of Savannah's home and whether Savannah's parents would approve. “Like ... like Anne Frank?”Hilderbrand is known for such bestsellers as “The Identicals” and “Summer of '69,” in which one character is reading “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Responding to complaints about “Golden Girl” on Instagram, Hildebrand wrote that she had made a “poor choice, that was tasteless and offensive." She added: "Those of you who have read Summer of '69 will realize Anne Frank was a courageous young woman whom I revere, and her story remains deeply influential in my life."

First stone laid at Dutch Holocaust Memorial in Amsterdam

THE HAGUE – A friend of World War II Jewish diarist Anne Frank laid the first stone Wednesday at a new memorial under construction in Amsterdam to honor all Dutch victims of the Holocaust. “I almost can't believe it, but it is now really happening,” Jacques Grishaver, chairman of the Netherlands Auschwitz Committee, said in a statement. “The first of the more than 102,000 stones has been laid.”The last of the stones, each of which is engraved with a name, is expected to be placed in the memorial in March. A Dutch court cleared the way last year for the memorial to be constructed. Amsterdam Municipality had granted permission for construction to start in 2017, but residents argued that it was too big for the location and could cause traffic problems.
