In this photo is Audrey Hepburn with Otto Frank, Anne’s father. Audrey Hepburn was born on May 4, 1929. The actress is best known for such films as Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but did you know that she turned down playing the role of Anne Frank? Here’s why.

What many may not know about Hepburn is that as a teenager she helped the Dutch resistance in WWII. Both Hepburn and Frank were born in 1929. The two never met but Hepburn felt close to the young diarist, and lived 60 miles apart from each other. While Hepburn was not Jewish, she spent several years of the war in a cellar to use as a bomb shelter and even faced near starvation. During this time she managed to arrange illegal dance performances to support local families who were hiding Jews.

After the war, Otto reached out to Hepburn asking if she would play the role of his daughter for the movie adaptation of the well-known diary. Hepburn felt unable to play the part, having had such a traumatic experience during the war, it would be too difficult. She said of Frank: “It’s a little bit as if this had happened to my sister . . . in a way she was my soul sister.”

January 27th, 2024 - Holocaust Memorial

I had problems to return to read about holocaust and Anne, after what is happened here on tumblr. But today, like every year, I must do something for make others remember.

I will share an old article that I wrote about Rywka Lipszyc, another Jewish girl who wrote a diary.

The article is in Italian but you can use Google translate or another translator.

Y’all, go watch A Small Light. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking and I’m crying as I type this out.

A Small Light is the story of Miep Gies, Otto Frank’s secretary who helped hide the residents of the Secret Annex, and her husband Jan, who was a member of the Dutch resistance. There’s suspense, and drama, and moments of joy, all ultimately leading to the heartbreak you know is coming.

It’s eight episodes people, I know colleges are going on break right now so y’all have time.

I just…this show deserves all the awards. Emmy sweep, thy name is A Small Light. The usage of light and color, music, I just…God.

The acting is phenomenal. Liev Schrieber’s portrayal of Otto Frank throughout the series, especially after the homecoming, it was amazing. I was bawling. Bawling.

This show hurt to watch. And that’s good, because it should. These were real people, and we should weep for them, we should remember them.

Watching A Small Light really brings back feelings from the first time I read Anne’s diary.

Like, I think I knew that Anne was killed, but I don’t think I knew the fates of the other residents of the annex.

Reading the epilogue and finding out that all of the residents except for Otto were killed was definitely a gut punch.

I have read the diary multiple times since then, and I have also read Meip’s biography, but watching this show still hit hard.

Book 26 of the 50 book challenge. The Last Secret of the Secret Annex by Joop Van Wijk- Voskuijl and Jeroen De Bruyn. The authors were mainly writing about Bep Voskuijl who was one of the helpers for the Secret Annex but they also talked about the other helpers, plus Anne, Margot, Edith and Otto Frank and some about the other family and the dentist who were hidden in the building. It’s a very good book and one of Bep’s sisters was involved with Nazis during the war and may have been the one who turned them in, but nobody knows for certain who are still alive. It’s a really good book. Joop is the youngest son of Bep born in 1949. If you’re interested at all in the Frank family or read Anne’s diary, you may like this book.

This is a really unique and valuable interview, Anne Frank's diary is one of the most unforgettable stories ever written and having her father saying how much impact it left around the world after it was published is just a proof of how moving it was.

Audrey Hepburn with Otto and Fritzi Frank in Lucerne, Switzerland where they were trying to convince Audrey to play the role of Anne Frank in the movie directed by George Stevens. 1957

When The Diary of Anne Frank was turned into a movie, Otto Frank (Anne's father) convinced Audrey to play Anne. However, Audrey was so traumatized that she turned it down. “I was so destroyed by it again, that I said I couldn’t deal with it. It’s a little bit as if this had happened to my sister . . . in a way she was my soul sister.” (Source: PEOPLE)

So everybody around here sells drugs and then everybody else just rats on everybody so that they’re like well yes that’s how it must be. Otherwise we have to stir up trouble so that we can keep a swimming pool and your work.

The artist Heinz Felix Geiringer-Murdered talent.

The fact that so many were murdered during the Holocaust is hard to fathom, but it is often compounded by the personal stories. None so sad as that off Heinz Felix Geiringer. It is not clear if he died just before the end of the war in Europe or shortly after the end, Several databases have different dates, It is either April 26,1945 or May 10,1945. One thing that is certain is that he died in…

So my assignment was to write two 20 page pamphlets and create a cover for them. This one's for Anne Frank, how'd I do?

Also if anyone has a cool name idea, I'm all ears.
