WOW

I'm surprised people actually started posting messages up again I would check everyday but nothing would post anything new.



To get a topic started, it's something we all have probably talked about before but ah well.



I always hear rumors that there are pictures of the people in hiding as well as VIDEOS?! They always say they have never been released to the public and if this is all true, HOW COME? What does everyone else think?



I'm not sure if Rat has ever said but I'm assuming Rat is a girl with the "Some days I forget to put the toilet down" and how women hate when you leave it up. As well the tone in "her" posts. Just thought that I'd point that out because I never could tell if Rat was a he or she.

Re: WOW


Hey, there IS a video of the Annexe...not inside but outside. The germans were filming an instructional video or something while Anne was in hiding and at one point, the camera pans towards the buildings and you can see the secret annexe is among them.

That video is on the Anne Frank CD-ROM.



It would have been cool, though if Anne had been able to keep a video diary or even a photo album. No home camcorders back then, but family photos was one of her hobbies...if only she would have packed her camera...not an essential item I guess.

Re: Re: WOW


Video existed in the 40's...just not really for home use.



Does anyone know who filmed that footage of Anne at the wedding? They must have had quite a lot of money to be able to afford a video camera back then.

Re: WOW






My name is Matt and my wife never actually got mad about it, but I've forgotten the seat a couple times. I just thought about it because our neighbor's son (we live in a duplex and can hear what goes on in each others' bathrooms) slams the seat down at night when we're in bed. And he has some problem with going to the bathroom once an hour. The analogy was great until I forgot it.





But besides that, you're a bitter little fellow.







Rat.

Re: Re: Re: WOW






I never picked up on the person's name, but what I heard is that the cameraman was just hired by the newlyweds (not a relative of either) to tape their wedding party. I actually saw the clip of Anne, but not from watching "Anne Frank Remembered." The clip was shown on The Daily Show back when Craig Kilbourne was host. I'm surprised The Daily Show could get away with that, especially considering that it's a cable news satire program, with segment titles like "My Fatherland Just Doesn't Understand Me" (from the Anne Frank bit).

Re: Re: Re: Re: WOW


Actually, probably the coolest video footage I've seen is a few clips of an interview Otto Frank gave in the late 70's. It was on one of Anne's biographies...I forget the title.

You actually get to see him in color and hear his voice...

Re: Re: Re: WOW






Assumptions are one thing. I make them whenever I'm not too busy being oblivious. You made what I would describe as a...biting...remark. Like, if I thought you were a chick, I'd never even mention it because,what's the point? I'd figure, "He says his name is Aaron. Maybe he's a fey dude." But I take you at face-value. Pretty much because I don't care enough to not. And because this is an Anne Frank discussion forum and trying to make a spectacle of my virility doesn't seem like the point of it.





I'm here to share, man.





They might call me "Rat," but I can be very diplomatic when I'm feeling particularly altruistic or tired.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: WOW






It's easy to forget that Otto Frank wasn't a part of ancient history. Most people only focus on him as he was relevent to Anne Frank's life and she died way back in 1945. It's easy to think that his era ended with hers. Even just seeing color pictures of him reminds me of how much a part of a much more modern world he was.





His footage is more intriguing, anyway. When he was videotaped, he was answering questions about his life and Anne's and the concentration camps and the relationships in the annex. When Anne was videotaped, she was looking down from a balcony.





For what it is, though, it's something to see.
