Video Pick: Anne Frank
Anne Frank's papers are now on display and open to the public.Published: June 12, 2009
Our turnto10.com video pick comes to us today from Amsterdam, in the Netherlands where the Dutch government announced that many of Anne Frank’s papers will soon go on permanent public display.
Three of the famous writer’s diaries, a book of short stories, and a notebook filled with her favorite quotes will be displayed at the Anne Frank Museum, beginning in November. They need special handling, and visitors will not be allowed to touch the papers.
First published in 1947, “The Diary of Anne Frank,“ which told the story of how she and her family hid from the Nazis, has sold more than 25 million copies and has been translated into more than 50 languages.
Today would have been Anne’s 80th birthday.

With so much about the Holocaust in the news recently let us not, ever, forget that the supposed atheist champion of reason, Sam Harris, actually blames the Jews ourselves for all of our suffering including the Holocaust:
“The gravity of Jewish suffering over the ages, culminating in the Holocaust, makes it almost impossible to entertain any suggestion that Jews might have brought their troubles upon themselves. This is, however, in a rather narrow sense, the truth.”—“The End of Faith,” p. 93
