Ray Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Amazing . You can also read a Guardian (UK) story about it here. Extraordinary.The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam has set up an "Anne Frank Channel," which sounds a tad disturbing. Link to comment
dirac Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Wow. That's amazing footage. (And because of YouTube we can all see it.) A quote from the article: "The museum has had the footage for some time, but thought YouTube would be a good platform to show the film and the other films about her life. It's another way to bring the life of Anne Frank to the attention of younger people, and all people worldwide."The husband and wife, who are still alive and living in the Netherlands, were contacted by the Anne Frank House in the 1990s and provided the longer video. The Anne Frank Channel as part of a museum exhibit doesn't sound too bad. Link to comment
Petra Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Thanks, Ray. I'm crying over the keyboard. What a glowing personality Anne Frank had - she is so vivid even in those few seconds! Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The Anne Frank Channel as part of a museum exhibit doesn't sound too bad. Maybe they should call it the Anne Frank Museum channel? Link to comment
dirac Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Good idea. And maybe avoid tag lines such as "All Anne Frank! All the Time!" Link to comment
bart Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 A ghastly aspect of this: the vicious and almost illiterate anti-Semitic "comments" posted just below the video. They are listed as having been posted "7 hours ago" and may be gone by the time anyone here checks. But .... they are beyond belief and very, very, very depressing. The hatred, cruelty and thuggery that provided the fuel for Nazism are still with us. Edited to Add: I just went back to the link. The comments are gone. I wonder how often they reappear and must be removed. Horrible! Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 They've done the right thing, I went to post a thank you for posting it and comments to this video must now be approved. What idiots there are out there. Link to comment

What idiots there are out there. And because of the magic of the Internet, we get to hear from all of them. Sigh. Link to comment
