Annelies"Anne" MarieFrank, (12 June 1929 –early March 1945) between
thirteen to fifteen years
old, survived most of WorldWar II with her family(Otto, Edith and Anne's
elder sister Margot) byhiding out in a "SecretAnnex" (Achterhuis) at her father's
company
premisesinAmsterdam,
Netherlands. Also hiding with the Franks
was another family, Herman and Auguste
Van Pels and their son Peter, aged sixteen,
and also a dentist (Fritz Pfeffer). Due toOtto's business acumen and many
connections the group was able to obtainfood stamps and rations and was also able
to make money in order to buy food which
was brought to them daily or weekly by anyof six close and trusted work colleagues.
While in hiding, Anne wrote a diarydetailing her experience living in the"Secret Annex" - "Our food is miserable.
Dry bread and coffee substitute forbreakfast. Dinner: spinach or lettuce for a
fortnight on end, and potatoes, twenty
centimeters long, and tasting sweet androtten."

SITE OF THE MONTH:
There are some YouTube videos about Anne Frank:
Osprey and its “Downwash”
http://www.youtube.com/user/AnneFrankHer feelings as a young girl growing into
adulthood: "I know what I want, I have agoal, an opinion, I have a religion and love.
Let me be myself then I am satisfied. I knowthat I'm a woman, a woman with inward
strength and plenty of courage." The
intimate relationship she developed withPeter: "Mummy thinks Peter is in love withme, I only wish he were, then we'd be quits
and really be able to get to know each
Henson Recording Studios, LA, USAother."
And her philosophies about life andpeople: "I don't want followers, but friends,
admirers who fall not for a flattering smile
but for what one does and for one'scharacter. I know quite well the circle
around me would be much smaller. But
what does that matter, as long as one still
keeps a few sincere friends?"
The last entry in her diary is Tuesday 1,
August 1944. Tragically, on August 4, 1944
German Uniformed Police (Grune Polizei)
raided the "Secret Annex". Everyone in
hiding was immediately sent to German andDutch concentration camps where all died
except for Anne's father. Anne's diary waslater found in the "Secret Annex" by Miep
Gies (one of the six people who helped themremain hidden for two years) among a pile ofold books, magazines and newspapers on thefloor. When Anne's father returned, Miep
gave him Anne's diary and he had it
published. Her now world famous diary has
also been the basis for several
plays and films.

Article by Matthew

Joshua Says: Well, the typhoon washed us out the first time, but wemanaged to have a very pleasant B-B-Q party the second timearound. Although we had to postpone it for a week, still many of you
turned up and I’d like to extend a big thanks to all of you who didcome. You were great company and I, for one, had a great time.
There are a few pictures on P3. Check them out.

Junko Says: Many people feel as if there are only two seasons in theyear because of the very short autumns and springs we areexperiencing recently. Because of changing weather patterns, thewarm climate continues even to the end of autumn when suddenly
we experience winter. The result is that many people have bothsummer and winter clothes in their closets at the same time.

Matthew Says: Why do young Japanese people put their garbage suchas plastic bottles, drinks cartons and other rubbish in the baskets ofpeople's bicycles? What is running through their mind as they do this?
Do they think I'm going to take it home and dispose of it myself? Do theythink I want it? Is this their idea of "recycling"? However, I am positive,
it is the ONLY thing I can complain about in Japan!

Craig Says: Japan really is a consumer paradise. When I worked
in Vietnam and Costa Rica, I rarely felt the need to spend money on
more than the necessities, beer, and travel. I bought a new computer
recently, and I am about to get my credit card out again, this time
for a guitar. Well, as the saying goes, you can't take it with you!

Arnaud Dit: L'un de mes compositeurs préféré est sans doute DannyElfman, qui a notamment fait les musiques des films de Tim Burton. "Thisis Halloween, This is Halloween..." est l'une de ses chansons. En Franceaussi, on fête Halloween. Les villes, les rues, les magasins, et mêmel'intérieur des maisons sont décorés! C'est presque devenu un autre noël!

For those of you who couldn’t make it to theB-B-Q party and missed meeting Murphy andPepper, Matthew’s two buddies, here they are.

This is Murphy, a Jack Russell Terrier. "Murphy" is an Irish name whichmeans "Sea Warrior". He was rescued by Matthew from a Dog Shelter inSeoul, South Korea. He is three years old. Among some of his tricks he canshake paws, do high fives, jump through hoops and run along side Matthew
while he is cycling!
This is Pepper, a Japanese Sheeba-ken. Matthew named her "Pepper" because ofthe colour of her coat! She was rescued by Matthew from a Dog Shelter inMatsuyama. She is one year old. Among some of her tricks she can...mmmmm...bevery, very friendly! She can also run alongside Matthew when he is cycling! She sits
and lies down but this is considered to be obedience rather than a "trick".
