An ihrem 13. Geburtstag beginnt Anne Frank, geboren am 12. Juni 1929 in Frankfurt am Main, in Amsterdam ihr Tagebuch zu führen. Es sollte später weltberühmt werden. Die Familie Frank war bereits 1933 aus Frankfurt in die Niederlande gezogen. Im Juli 1942 flüchtet sie innerhalb von Amsterdam in ein Hinterhaus, um sich vor den Nazis zu verstecken. Versorgt wird die Familie unter anderem von Miep Gies, der früheren Sekretärin des Vaters. Anne Franks Tagebucheinträge gehen über zwei Jahre, bis zum August 1944. Im September wird die Familie nach Auschwitz gebracht. Männer und Frauen werden getrennt. Anne Frank wird später ins KZ Bergen-Belsen deportiert, wo sie Anfang 1945 stirbt. Annes Vater Otto Frank bleibt in Auschwitz. Die Befreiung durch die sowjetische Armee rettet ihm das Leben, er überlebt als einziger der Familie. Nach dem Krieg veröffentlicht er das Tagebuch seiner Tochter. Auf Deutsch erscheint das "Tagebuch der Anne Frank" 1950 und gehört heute zum Unesco-Weltdokumentenerbe. Doch Neonazis und Rechtsextreme behaupten schon früh, es sei nicht echt. Ende der 1970er-Jahre kommt es deshalb zum Prozess in Hamburg. Otto Frank reist zu diesem Anlass 1978 als Zeuge nach Hamburg und gibt dem NDR am 18. August dieses Interview. Die Angeklagten im Hamburger Prozess werden 1979 freigesprochen – das Gericht sieht ihre Behauptungen durch das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerungen gedeckt. Die Echtheit der Tagebücher wird jedoch durch weitere Untersuchungen erhärtet und gilt als erwiesen.

In this episode, acclaimed author Ruth Franklin explores the transformation of Anne Frank (1929–1945) from ordinary teenager to icon, shedding new light on the young woman whose diary of her years in hiding is the most widely read work of literature to arise from the Holocaust.With antisemitism once again on the rise, Franklin's The Many Lives of Anne Frank  takes a fresh and timely look at the debates around Anne Frank's life and work, including the controversial adaptations of the diary, Anne's evolution as a fictional character, and the ways her story and image have been politically exploited. Franklin reveals how Anne has been understood and misunderstood, both as a person and as an idea, and opens up new avenues for interpreting her life and writing in today's hyperpolarized world.

Alice Hoffman brings Anne Frank from black and white into full color in the powerful WHEN WE FLEW AWAY the groundbreaking novel of Anne Frank, before the diary. Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl has captivated and inspired readers for decades. Published posthumously by her bereaved father, Anne's journal, written while she and her family were in hiding during World War II, has become one of the central texts of the Jewish experience during the Holocaust, as well as a work of literary genius. With the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, the Frank family's life is turned inside out, blow by blow, restriction by restriction. Prejudice, loss, and terror run rampant, and Anne is forced to bear witness as ordinary people become monsters, and children and families are caught up in the inescapable tide of violence. In the midst of impossible danger, Anne, audacious, creative, and fearless, discovers who she truly is. With a wisdom far beyond her years, she will become a writer who will go on to change the world as we know it. WHEN WE FLEW AWAY features archival content provided by the Anne Frank House, as well as information about Otto Frank's desperate bids to get his family to safety in America gathered from correspondence between Otto Frank and Nathan Straus, Jr. from the Straus Historical Society's Archives. Based on extensive research and published in cooperation with the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, WHEN WE FLEW AWAY is an extraordinary and moving tour de force.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

"Ich will fortleben, auch nach meinem Tod!" Otto Frank, dem Vater des jüdischen Mädchens Anne Frank ist es zu verdanken, dass dieser Wunsch seiner Tochter erfüllt wurde. Dem einzigen Überlebenden der Familie Frank. Seit 1947 wurde und wird das Anne Frank Tagebuch weltweit publiziert. Ein universales Buch, dessen "Biografie" der Autor und Literaturwissenschaftler Thomas Sparr recherchiert hat. Wie authentisch ist der Text, wer zweifelte an der Echtheit, was ging verloren bei allzu gut gemeinten oder vorsichtigen Übertragungen und wie bedeutend ist dieses Buch heute? Anne Frank-Tag sprechen wir mit ihm auf radio3 über die zeitlose Bedeutung des Anne Frank Tagebuchs.

Nous sommes au Château de Prangins  Musée National Suisse où se tient jusqu'au 29 septembre prochain l'exposition « Anne Frank et la Suisse ».   Celle-ci met en lumière le lien peu connu entre la famille Frank, notamment Otto le père, seul survivant, et la Suisse. Après avoir échappé aux nazis, Otto Frank s'installe en Suisse où il consacre son énergie à faire connaître le journal intime de sa fille Anne, devenu un symbole de tolérance et d'humanité.  L'exposition explore également les histoires parallèles de la famille Frank à Amsterdam et à Bâle, tout en mettant en évidence les menaces spécifiques pesant sur les Juifs dans ces deux pays européens pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.  Elle présente aussi des facsimilés du Journal d'Anne Frank ainsi que des archives, des photos, des documents et des objets ordinaires illustrant la vie quotidienne des Frank et la politique d'accueil des réfugiés menée par la Suisse à cette époque. Nicole Staremberg conservatrice au château de Prangins nous en parle.   

TRIBUTO: HISTORIAS QUE CONSTRUYEN MEMORIA DE LA SHOÁ, CON CECILIA LEVIT – Otto Heinrich Frank nació el 12 de mayo de 1889 en Fráncfort del Meno, en el seno de una familia judía liberal. Es el segundo de cuatro hermanos: Robert, Otto, Herbert y Helene. Vive una infancia feliz y privilegiada. En 1925, Otto, de 36 años, se casa con Edith Holländer, se instalan en Fráncfort y muy pronto se convierten en padres: Margot nace en 1926 y Ana en 1929. Con la llegada del partido nazi al poder en 1933, aumenta rápidamente la persecución de la comunidad judía. En el verano europeo de 1933, Otto se trasladó a Ámsterdam. La Alemania nazi invade los Países Bajos en mayo de 1940 y en el verano de 1941, comienza las deportaciones y la vida cotidiana se hace cada vez más difícil para los judíos holandeses, de modo que Otto Frank empieza a buscar un escondite para él y su familia. El 4 de agosto de 1944, tras más de dos años en la clandestinidad, las ocho personas del escondite son denunciadas y detenidas por la Gestapo, que las lleva al campo de tránsito de Westerbork. Un mes después, la familia Frank es deportada a Auschwitz. El 27 de enero de 1945, completamente agotado y gravemente enfermo es liberado. En julio de 1945, la Cruz Roja Internacional confirma que Margot y Ana han perecido en el campo de concentración de Bergen-Belsen. Miep Gies, su compañera y amiga que la protegió, le entrega a Otto el diario de Ana. Otto edita el diario de Ana y la primera edición se publica en 1947. Traducido a muchos idiomas, el Diario de Ana se convierte en un best seller y de alguna manera da vida nuevamente a Otto, su padre.

Hola amiguitos jajaja nos vamos a la carcel? En el capítulo de hoy hablaremos de la historia de Ana Frank, autora del conocido libro 'El diario de Ana Frank', testimonio directo del holocausto nazi de la segunda guerra mundial. Contaremos su historia, leeremos pasajes del diario... Sabías que hay toda una corriente que dice que Ana Frank era lesbiana o bisexual por cosas censuradas que se publicaron más tarde de su diario? Además, hablaremos de sus detractores que dicen que Ana no existió, que no escribió el diario y que quien lo escribió fue Otto Frank, su padre. Todo desde el respeto y amparado en la fantasía.

Chicago actor Sean Fortunato (TV's Fargo) discusses playing the iconic role of Frederick Frankenstein in the Mercury Theatre production of Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks's musical version of his own legendary film, co-written by and starring the great Gene Wilder. Fortunato talks about the enviable range of roles he's been able to play (from Malvolio to Otto Frank to Willy Wonka); how they navigate some of the 50-year-old jokes; the challenges and rewards of playing in venues of varying sizes; how he approaches comedy from a place of seriousness and sincerity; and the glory of channeling Gene Wilder's spirit, rather than copying his specific performance.

FrankWar,persecution, and economic depression affect not only adults, but also old people, children, babies, the sick and the handicapped.Since history is written mostly about politicians, soldiers, intellectuals and criminals, we don't read very often about how events affect ordinary people.Now and then a special book will shed light on what it was like to live in the midst of terrible events.Such a book is "The Diary of Anne Frank."Anne Frank was born in Frankfurtam Main, Germany, in 1929.Her father Otto Frank was a businessman who moved the family to the Netherlands in 1934.In Amsterdam, Otto started a company selling pectin to make jams and jellies.Later he began a second company that sold herbs for seasoning meat.Otto Frank had decided to leave Germany because of the policies and personality of the new German Chancellor Adolph Hitler.Hitler had a personal hatred not only for Jewish people but also for everything Jewish.He felt that one way to strengthen Germany and solve its problems was to kill or drive out all the Jews.Hitler also felt that other groups, such as blacks, gypsies, the handicapped,homosexuals and the chronically unemployed should be eliminated.Then only strong healthy "true Germans" would be left.Since Hitler had a plan to solve Germany's economic problems, he received a lot of popular support.Very few Germans realized that he was mentally and emotionally unbalanced and would kill anyone who got in his way.The Frank family was Jewish, and they felt that they would be safe in the Netherlands.However,in May 1940, Germany invaded the Netherlands and soon took over the government.In 1941, laws were passed to keep Jews separate from other Dutch citizens.The following year, Dutch Jews began to be shipped to concentration camps in Germany and Poland.Just before this began, Anne Frank, Otto's younger daughter, received a diary for her 13th birthday.Less than a month later, the whole family went into hiding.Otto Frank had made friends with the Dutch people who worked with him in his business operations.Now these friends were ready to help him, even though hiding Jews from the authorities was treated as a serious crime.Behind Otto Frank's business offices, there was another house that was not visible from the street.Here the Franks moved many of their things.Only a few trusted people knew they were living there.The Franks moved into these small rooms on July 6, 1942,and they lived there with another Jewish family, the Van Pels, until the police captured them on August 4, 1944.So,for more than two years, the two families never went outside.All their food and supplies had to be brought to them.During this period, Anne Frank told her diary all her thoughts and fears.Like any teenage girl, she hoped that good things would happen to her, that she would become a writer or a movie star.She complained that her parents treated her like a child.She insisted that she was grown up.She also talked about how difficult it was to live in a small area with seven other people and not be able to go outside.She wrote about the war and hoped that the Netherlands would soon be liberated from the Germans.Anne sometimes envied her older sister, Margot, who was so much more mature, and who never got into trouble.She and Margot wrote letters to each other to pass the time.Anne even had a romance with Peter van Pels, who was seventeen.Then all their fears came true.All the eight Jews hiding in the house were arrested and eventually sent to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland.Although the war was ending, it did not end soon enough for the Frank family.Only Otto Frank survived the war.One of their helpers, Miep Gies, saved Anne's diary and kept it.After the war, Otto Frank decided to publish it.Since 1947 more than 20 million copies have been sold in 55 languages.Anne's diary shows the terrible cost of hatred, persecution and war better than any history book.翻译安妮·弗兰克的故事战争、迫害和经济萧条不仅影响成年人，也影响老人、儿童、婴儿、病人和残疾人。由于历史主要是关于政治家、士兵、知识分子和罪犯的，我们很少读到事件对普通人的影响。时不时地，一本特别的书会揭示生活在可怕事件中的感觉。这样一本书就是《安妮日记》。安妮·弗兰克1929年出生于德国法兰克福。她的父亲奥托·弗兰克是一位商人，1934年全家搬到了荷兰。在阿姆斯特丹，奥托开了一家公司，销售用来制作果酱和果冻的果胶。后来，他又开了第二家公司，出售调味肉用的草药。由于德国新总理阿道夫·希特勒的政策和个性，奥托·弗兰克决定离开德国。希特勒不仅对犹太人，而且对一切犹太人都有个人的仇恨。他认为，加强德国和解决其问题的一个方法是杀死或驱逐所有犹太人。希特勒还认为其他群体，如黑人、吉普赛人、残疾人、同性恋者和长期失业者应该被消灭。这样就只剩下强壮健康的“真正德国人”了。由于希特勒有一个解决德国经济问题的计划，他得到了很多民众的支持。很少有德国人意识到他在精神上和情感上都不平衡，会杀死任何挡他路的人。弗兰克一家是犹太人，他们觉得在荷兰会很安全。然而，1940年5月，德国入侵荷兰，并很快接管了政府。1941年，通过了将犹太人与其他荷兰公民分开的法律。第二年，荷兰犹太人开始被运往德国和波兰的集中营。就在这一切开始之前，奥托的小女儿安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)在13岁生日时收到了一本日记。不到一个月后，全家人都躲起来了。奥托·弗兰克与在他的商业运作中与他一起工作的荷兰人交了朋友。现在这些朋友都愿意帮助他，尽管向当局藏匿犹太人是一种严重的罪行。在奥托·弗兰克的商业办公室后面，还有一栋房子，从街上看不见。法兰克人把他们的许多东西搬到了这里。只有少数值得信赖的人知道他们住在那里。1942年7月6日，弗兰克斯一家搬进了这些小房间，他们和另一个犹太家庭范佩尔(Van Pels)住在一起，直到1944年8月4日被警察逮捕。因此，在两年多的时间里，两家人从未出门。他们所有的食物和补给都必须运来。在此期间，安妮·弗兰克把她所有的想法和恐惧都写在日记里。像任何一个十几岁的女孩一样，她希望好事会发生在她身上，希望她能成为一名作家或电影明星。她抱怨父母把她当孩子对待。她坚持说她已经长大了。她还谈到了和其他七个人住在一个小地方，不能出去是多么困难。她写了关于战争的文章，希望荷兰能很快从德国人手中解放出来。安妮有时羡慕她的姐姐玛戈特，因为她成熟得多，而且从不惹事。她和玛戈特互相写信打发时间。安妮甚至和17岁的彼得·范·佩尔斯有过一段恋情。然后他们所有的恐惧都成真了。躲在房子里的8名犹太人全部被捕，最终被送往波兰的奥斯维辛死亡集中营。虽然战争即将结束，但对弗兰克一家来说，结束得还不够快。只有奥托·弗兰克在战争中幸存下来。他们的助手之一梅普·吉斯保存了安妮的日记并保存了下来。战后，奥托·弗兰克决定出版这本书。自1947年以来，该书已被翻译成55种语言，销量超过2000万册。安妮的日记比任何一本历史书都更好地展示了仇恨、迫害和战争的可怕代价。

Cái Thật Và Thực Tại là cuốn sách được viết bởi Otto Frank, từng là một học trò của Sigmund Freud và là một trong những nhà tâm lý học nổi tiếng của thuyết phân tâm học. Dù lý thuyết của Otto Frank bị hội phân tâm học phản bác, và lý thuyết của ông đã bị lãng quên trong lịch sử tâm lý học lâm sàng trong một khoảng thời gian, lý thuyết này vẫn quay trở lại và ảnh hưởng rất nhiều tới những nghiên cứu sau này của nhiều nhà tâm lý học đồ sộ khác.Với sách nói này, thính giả sẽ được tìm hiểu những bí ẩn về cái tôi dưới một lăng kính rất khác. Dù công nhận sự tuyệt vời của thuyết phân tâm học của Freud, Frank cho rằng thuyết phân tâm học không có tác dụng nhiều trong trị liệu tâm lý. Phản bác lại tất cả những quan điểm về cái tôi của Freud, Jung và Adler, Frank cho rằng cái tôi không chỉ là một bản ngã vô thức, hay một phản chiếu của quy luật xã hội, cái tôi có một ý chí riêng. Và nhờ ý chí này, cái tôi không ngừng trải nghiệm và sáng tạo, phát triển trong từng khoảnh khắc sống.Cuốn sách giới thiệu cho khán giả một góc nhìn mới trong tâm lý học, và đặc biệt là giới thiệu cho khán giả Việt Nam những kho tàng kiến thức về con người đồ sộ của thế giới.--Về Fonos:Fonos là Ứng dụng âm thanh số - Với hơn 3.000+ nội dung gồm Sách nói có bản quyền, Ebook, Tóm tắt sách, Thiền định, Truyện ngủ, Nhạc chủ đề, Truyện thiếu nhi.

Une lueur d'espoir, c'est une expression que Miep Gies, la femme qui a aidé à cacher Anne Frank et sa famille à Amsterdam pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a souvent dite. C'est elle qui a découvert et protégé le Journal d'Anne Frank après l'arrestation et la déportation de cette dernière et qui est l'autrice de Elle s'appelait Anne Frank. Aujourd'hui, elle est l'héroïne de la mini-série produite par National Geographic. Il s'agit d'une nouvelle perspective donnée à une histoire que le monde entier connait, celle d'Anne Frank. C'est grâce à la famille Gies qu'Anne et sa famille ont pu survivre cachés, pendant près de 761 jours d'occupation nazie. Miep, amie et secrétaire d'Otto Frank à l'époque, avec d'autres employés et amis, ont aidé à cacher les Frank pendant près de deux ans. Joan Rater et Tony Phelan (Grey's Anatomy) créent ici une histoire nécessaire, courageuse et qui rend hommage à tous ces héros du quotidien. La série est disponible à partir du 2 mai sur Disney+. https://youtu.be/Iuathp0e014 Une lueur d'espoir dépoussière l'Histoire et rend l'histoire de Miep très contemporaine, forçant le public à se demander ce qu'il aurait fait à sa place, à se demander s'il aurait eu le courage de s'opposer à la haine. Miep est une jeune femme qui semble défier les traditions. Elle rejoint le bureau d'Otto Frank qui devient rapidement un ami en plus d'être son patron. Et quand ce dernier lui demande de protéger sa famille, elle n'hésitera pas un seul instant. Bel Powley mène l'ensemble avec détermination et humanité. Son idéalisme semble presque surréaliste dans un monde où le nazisme ne fait que monter (ce qui pourrait bien être un parallèle avec la société actuelle). Mais c'est bien sa volonté de faire ce qui est juste alors que d'autres ferment les yeux devant des horreurs qui font aussi la force du personnage. En huit épisodes, A Small Light dépeint une Amsterdam de plus en plus hostile, tout en mettant en avant les actes de résistance de Miep et de son mari Jan (Joe Cole de Gangs of London). L'image sépia rappelle le contexte historique, mais permet aussi parfois d'établir une atmosphère anxiogène. Pour compléter le casting, Otto Frank est campé par Liev Schreiber, symbole de la vulnérabilité et de l'impuissance malgré tout l'amour qu'il peut porter à sa famille. Même si l'attention n'est pas focalisée sur les Frank et que les Gies ont aidé d'autres familles, ils n'en restent pas moins des personnages incontournables avec Otto qui en est la pierre centrale.

May the 4th be with you! As always, May 4 is the unofficial holiday dedicated to the "Star Wars" franchise. Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the classic movies and new TV shows, which include the recent end of the third season of "The Mandalorian" and the second season of "The Bad Batch" plus the upcoming "Ahsoka" series.  They also discuss the three new movies that were recently announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 in London by Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. James Mangold, Dave Filoni and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy were selected to direct the films. There weren't many details, but Mangold's film will look at the early years of the Jedi. Filoni's movie is expected to tie together the various Disney+ series he's involved with and Obaid-Chinoy's movie will feature Daisy Ridley, who returns to the role of Rey from the sequel trilogy. After "Star Wars," the discussion shifts to the more serious topic of the World War II and the Holocaust. National Geographic launches a new limited series on May 1 called "A Small Light" that follows Miep Gies (Bel Powley) and her husband Jan (Joe Cole), who were critical in the hiding of the Frank family from the Nazis. REVIEW: 'A Small Light' offers new take on Holocaust experience The show also stars Liev Schreiber as Otto Frank, Amira Casar as Edith Frank, Billie Boullet as Anne Frank and Ashley Brooke as Margot Frank.

Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Welcome to another episode of streamed and screened and entertainment podcasts about movies and TV. I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee Enterprises and the co-host of the program, a Padawan, if you will, to Bruce Miller, Jedi Master of entertainment journalism and editor of the Sioux City Journal. Bruce, it's a little early, but May the Fourth be with you! You should have said Yoda, because, you know, I'm that old. I had it in the script. I was going to call you Yoda, but I didn't want you to feel that way. I am so Yoda. It's ridiculous. That's it's is apt and it's fitting and it's me. Plus, if I were collecting anything, it would be Yoda. Got to love Yoda. Always one of my favorite characters. And he didn't show up right away. He wasn't in the first one. The second one? Yeah. Yeah. And I remember now. Okay, so this. This shows you how old I am when they did a big reveal on Yoda for Empire Strikes Back. It was a special press kit that was just about Yoda, and it had a picture and I mean, it was quite the big deal. I remember getting it in the mail and it's like, Oh, what have we got here? This is really great. But I remember back with Star Wars, we didn't know what it was. We had no clue. You know, they talked about serials, they talked about Westerns. They talked about all these things. But when until you saw Star Wars, you weren't really sure what this thing was. And I went to a screening of Star Wars back in. Yes, 1977. And I was unsure the place was packed. And I remember a woman in the in the audience screaming out, Ooh, that Wookie. He's really cute. And so that's what I remember about the first time. I also remember that the vehicles didn't look like they had wheels or they touched to the ground. I thought that was really cool. But it did feel like you were dropped into a world that you had no idea what was going on. It's really amazing when you look back at the Times. I mean, today movies are so overboard with CGI and animation and green screens and everything. The fact that they were able to do a space Western because that's really what it was, you know, you equated it to a Western, but even George Lucas thought of it as a space weren't Western. And it's amazing that they were able to do what they were able to do back in 1977. When was the last time you've seen the original one? A couple of years, probably. You know, it's one of those things that it shows up on TNT all the time. Or my daughter, who's a really So I've got twin girls, but one of them is just hardcore Star Wars like I am. So she'll have it on from time to time. So I'll sit down and watch a little bits of it. But what disappoints me though, these days is they effectively retired the original cuts at the movies and they went to the special editions from the 1990s. But even though those were cleaned up, you still have those elements from the original. Yeah, that the sets are kind of wonky I think when you're running down the hallway and you think, I think I've seen that hallway, it looks very familiar. Well it probably was right when we had it here with a symphony underneath it where they did a live the live score and it's very fascinating. But it was an older version. So you got a chance to kind of delight in in those kind of simpler things. And I think it works better. I don't think you should have messed with that stuff. I thought you should have left it alone because it is a piece of its time, you know? But hey, if you're George Lucas, you do what you want. You can you can do that. Absolutely. So it's, you know, with the I guess, the unofficial holiday, May the fourth with Star Wars. Just thought we would talk a little bit. There's there is some news kind of out there with Star Wars. So we just wrapped the third season of The Mandalorian. We do have the new show, Ahsoka coming up in August. We also wrapped season two, the bad batch, around the same time as Mando. There's another series called The Acolyte, which is due sometime next year. It takes place in what's called the High Republic era, which is is leading into that prequel trilogy that George did in the early turn of the century. And there's some other things kind of coming along, too. But we also had the Andor series last fall, which did very well, Obi-Wan Kenobi, which was kind of mixed reception on that. So there's there's a lot going on. But they just had the Star Wars celebration in Europe a couple of weeks ago in London. And Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy announced three new films. One is going to star Daisy Ridley as Rey. So she's going to reprise her role that she brought forth in the three most recent films from that new trilogy. There's going to be one that takes place in The New Republic, which is post Return of the Jedi. But before the the Rey version comes up. So this is basically taking the the shows that we see on Disney Plus now, and they're going to somehow intersect into some sort of film. And then there's going to be another film that's going to look at the Dawn of the Jedi in the New Republic. So that's kind of what's that's what's on the horizon. There's been some speculation I don't know how much you follow on this, that Disney isn't particularly happy with the direction of Star Wars because the idea originally was they bought it. They want movies coming out left and right. Some of those did very well. Some of them didn't sit so well with the fans. And there's been some rumors out there in the Star Wars universe that maybe Kathleen Kennedy's job is is on the line. If she doesn't produce another Star Wars movie. Her contract, I guess, is up in 2024 and allegedly an ultimate aim was place that they need to have a movie out by 2025. So it's an interesting thing. You've got this huge series, this huge enterprise. I mean, it's a it's a behemoth of when you compare it with all these other tent pole type of, you know, DC Marvel and all these that are continuously putting out films and Star Wars, they kind of sputtered a little bit, but they're still doing very well with the TV programs, it seems. Yeah, I think there are too many things out there. I really do. We waited so long just to get Star Wars films that now they have a glut of them. I, I don't know that that's in their own best interest is I know they want money. I know they're there. There's really we've got to get more money out of this. How can we get more money out of this? Let's do this. Let's do that. Come on, we'll have it. Yeah, yeah, let's do TV. Let's do a podcast. Or how about, you know, and it's just this whole range of stuff and there is a limit to it because if you are new to any kind of franchise, you may not go in, you may not be interested in that because it's too much to learn. I know that was the case with Marvel. People thought that they couldn't get into that world if they hadn't started from the beginning and they need to be a little better about their standalone Star Wars films. And I really think that's where you could fall into Quentin Tarantino's The People who are kind of a marquee name, and let's see what they would do with it. It doesn't necessarily have to follow everything, or it could just be people who were around during the same era but aren't caught up with this this fighting good against evil. Maybe there were people who didn't pay attention at all in Star Wars land to what was going on. You know, was there a PTA meeting going on somewhere? Could that have sparked something? Who knows? And then, you know, they never really do want to toy with anything beyond a PG 13. Why can't there be an R-rated Star Wars film? Yeah, that would be an interesting one. I mean, you can you can maybe get to I mean, it is it's space war. So you could take up the violence level a little bit and maybe and they did it with with the comic book movies. You do have a couple that have gone beyond PG. PG 13, right? It's possible. But you see, it's Disney. So there are kind of those those boundaries that are put into play that I think hinder what they can do. So I. Hey, Kathleen, I'm with you. You just sit there and say, you know what, We can't do everything, but let's try something and let it be standalone. It doesn't shouldn't have to be part of the trilogy for anything that, you know, the how I feel about those I do not want to have to worry about. I've seen too I die and I don't get the third one. That's ridiculous. But you can easily be in that world and still still show us what's what's going on. I'm with you with the standalone movies. I thought that Rogue One is perhaps one of the best movies, Star Wars movies of all time. And it's because, you know, we knew what was going to happen, because we knew that it led up to the original 1977 Star Wars with the Death Star. So we knew going in the movie is basically about them stealing the plans to the Death Star. It was a great movie from start to finish and it's kind of followed through now with Andor the series where, you know, you can only do a couple of seasons of that because eventually there's an end point, right? So I think they really did a great job with that. I'm kind of hopeful that with James Mangold, maybe that's that director that they're bringing in, like you suggest, because he's doing the new Indiana Jones movie, The of Destiny. But he's done Ford versus Ferrari. He did Logan, He did The Wolverine. He did the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. So he's done a lot of different films and he is an A-list director, so they can bring him. He's got that star power, and it's a little bit different than even when they had Ron Howard, who of course, is a giant in directing because he was brought in to rescue the the Han Solo movie, which was kind of fallen apart. So, you know, here they're going to let him do it from the scratch. I agree to that. I don't want a trilogy every single time, especially after the newer trilogy, which I thought was a bit of a disaster because it was so disjointed. Right, Right. Well, if you look back at the original, the whatever the you call those first three films, George Lucas handed the reins over to Lawrence Kasdan after the the first one and said, You write this thing, let's see what's going on here. And I think those new ideas are what helped keep it fresh and keep it going instead of this huge book that somebody has to go, Well, wait a minute now, according to chapter 33 here, you're not supposed to do this. It's chaos. And I think that's why I've turned off from for Marvel. I really don't want to have to try and remember something that happened in or films prior to this one. Yeah, I think Star Trek had a little problem with that as well, where they're, you know, they're trying to many worlds. And now where are they? I really don't know where Remember the the kind of reboot with Chris Pine? Is that going anywhere? Is that going to be something more or are we going back and looking at old characters like Picard? You know, what is that? And I think it becomes a thing when money people are making decisions and their demanding things by a certain time because they've got to meet a budget or we need to make so much money by this date that it kind of spoils the creativity of the whole thing. Well, that's kind of the thought, too, with where, you know, if those rumors are true, that that Kathleen Kennedy's job may hinge on on a film. Is it or bringing back more films, is that you've got the money people. It isn't just about the storytelling when when Lucasfilm was that standalone company because even if you go back to that original trilogy, the first Star Wars movie, if that thing bombed, it ended. You didn't need to wait for two more movies because it had a beginning, a middle and an end. And at that end, you could have been like, okay, we're good. I don't need to see anything ever again. But they came back with Empire and then return. And I think the other piece of it too, is even though he did hand it off to other directors to kind of tell a story, he was still part of the storytelling process. So it was his concept where he worked with other writers and directors on the finer points, which I think in comparison to the new trilogy, J.J. Abrams was there. I know he was the executive producer on the second one, but he kind of stepped way too far away. And the movie went in a totally different direction. And then he had to come back to kind of rescue the third one, and it just turned into, I guess, a bit of a hot mess. But yeah, you know, Disney, there were rumors that they were going to do an Indiana Jones series on Disney Plus and that has kind of been put on hold. And Willow, I didn't even get a chance to see this Willow series on Disney Plus. And apparently season two was canceled because they're like going all in with the Lucasfilm stuff back into Star Wars. And because that is that is the franchise out of Lucasfilm. So it'll be interesting to see where that goes. The interesting selection and directors of these movies is Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. She is a two time Oscar winner because she won Oscars for documentaries, but she's attached to the film. A little bit of an unknown, but I guess her star has been on the rise because she's done some directing work on the Mrs. Marvel series. Thoughts on her documentaries and short subjects are kind of the gateway to getting into bigger pictures. So she was probably tested through these kinds of things. She has a very female perspective, a feminist perspective that might help play well with something that's seen as a very kind of boys club. And it gives an opportunity for the Star Wars universe to kind of crack open to other stories that could be told, because I think we've kind of worn out our welcome with some of these father son things. I don't think we need to go into that a little more. But she might bring us a whole new a whole new world of of opportunity. And it would be interesting to see what happens. You know, I want to see what are what people are doing in other parts of that universe. And I don't know that we've necessarily seen that they're also caught up with this rebel forces kind of thing. And really, though there have to be it's like today there are people that you can't ask anything about the news because they don't watch the news. They don't listen to the news, they don't read the news. And those are people with a story to to tell. And how do they do it? I think sometimes we get a little too caught up in the mainstream of what people are talking about or what influencers are telling us. We should talk about that. We don't realize that there's a whole subset of people out there talking about nothing that relates to that. So this thing is one of those things. I think he made an interesting point to about a different perspective, because for me, as somebody 47 year old man who grew up on Star Wars when I was a kid, the boys like Star Wars and most of the girls like something completely different. You know, you had some some girls liked it, but it was a boy's club. And I think they really tried to expand it and attract a much wider audience. Now, I think to my daughter, who's 12, who absolutely loves Star Wars, she wants to watch the shows every single week. And if you ask her who her favorite characters are, it's Rey, it's Ahsoka Tano. It's these newer characters that they introduced that have expanded the universe to just more than boys and men. And the Jedi can be a girl, you know, A Jedi can be a woman. Look at how animation was largely seen as, you know, female driven. It always has to have a heroine who falls in love and gets out of her situation. And then they realized, Wait a minute, we've got some boys out there that might be interested in watching animation. And they did do a shift and there were some male kind of dummy and Star Wars was pushed them. They were the ones who said, Get over there, come on, you got to do some male animated films. And we're seeing them now. So I think same thing could happen with Star Wars. So once again, may the force be with you, Bruce, but we'll turn our attention now to a much more serious job and anybody. I do. Yeah. You also on April 20th, one two on people at 420. Yeah we're not not in Wisconsin. I'm based in Wisconsin. That stuff's not that's not going to talk that way, right? Yeah, not here. Not at our borders. That is correct. No, but we're we're going to shift over to a little bit more serious topic now and one based in actual reality coming back from science fiction into history. A slight bit of research. Is that sound like enough? No, sir. But there have been Holocaust films since the early 1940s, 1940 was the first time they ever mentioned a concentration camp in a film. Since that time there has been a Holocaust related film. Every year. It's interesting to see that that's that's lasting like that, but it's one of those things that you need to remind people because otherwise they're going to say it didn't happen. And I think a lot of times you'll see in the documentary categories of the Academy Awards, there will be something about someone. Now that generation is dying out. There aren't many more Holocaust survivors around who can remember what went on or what happened. But what we're finding now is that people are kind of stretching their their boundaries of what stories they already know. And one of those ones is a diary man. Frank, That was a huge, huge, huge book. And it was taught in schools. I don't know if it still is because I don't know if it's on a list somewhere. And then they say we can't teach that one in schools. But it was what a girl viewed the Holocaust situation like. She was hidden in an attic over her father's business. And they couldn't leave. They couldn't go anywhere. And they had their own kind of world, if you will, hoping that somebody they could get out because the Nazis wanted to do something with them, i.e. they wanted to kill them. And so we saw that perspective on the Anne Frank story. We saw her perspective because her father saved the diaries and brought them and said, you know, is this something we could publish? Is there something here so that people know what went on in our world? And now there is a new limited series called A Small Light, which focuses on Miep Gies. Yes. Miep was a secretary of Otto Frank, who was the one who helped him during all of this. She, he said, would you help me get things to my family? Can you be there for us? And will you promise not to tell anybody? In retrospect, meet said, You know, I didn't do anything. It was a small light that I was able to turn on in a dark room and it what she tells us is that there are things we can do, things that maybe we should be looking at now in our own world, where we can make a difference in somebody's life. And we see this with bullying in schools. We see this with loudmouth politicians who are shouting each other down and for no good reason. They're they're sideswiped by people who never asked for this kind of attention. And it becomes a very volatile situation that we don't need to live in. And I think what this limited series tells us is that there are little things we can do along the way that can make somebody else's life a little easier. And why are we doing that? Why am I standing by and not saying, you know what, you're a bully and you need to stop this right now? I always had parents who would stop me and they would say, You are not doing that. We do not do those kinds of things. You are not going to bully somebody. But today it seems like we're a parentless society where nobody tells the people who are in authority or power, you can't do that. You can't treat people like they're somehow lesser than you. You can't make fun of them because why? What are you gaining by that? You're doing nothing. So this is this miniseries here at Roundabout Way. This was me on a soapbox. Did you see that? Dare you to just get the idea that picked up on it. The series lets us know that there are little things we can do, and I think it reminds us that we don't have to be some Schindler's List rescuer kind of person. We don't need to be that guy who runs in, saves a bunch of people, and then you're considered, Yeah, that's what we need to do. It can be something as simple as maybe talking to somebody else, maybe comforting someone during a tough situation. Maybe it's bringing food to somebody. You know, it's so, so simple. And this is a very slow kind of building Mini-Series I'm not saying it's a slow miniseries because it's not, but you see how she grows, how meat grows in the process of all of this. I think it's fascinating. It's one of the best things that we've seen on TV this year. And it starts May 1st, I believe it is is the first first two episodes, and it's eight episodes in all. I got a chance to talk to Bell Powley, who plays Miep Gies, and Joe Cole, who plays her husband, Jan. For them, they were you know, they weren't filled in on what their story was until they started researching it. And interestingly enough, and you'll hear this is that they did not realize that John didn't talk about it. He really did not want people to know his part because he didn't think it was that important. And Miep didn't write a book until many, many years later talking about what she did in all of this. So it's a fascinating, fascinating story. I think you'll be really taken in by it. And you'll also see how contempt jury they are. You know, it's not like the when we see a film that's set in another era, you go, oh, they're old timey people and they just do old timey things, right? And they wear old timey clothes. And these are like so contemporary. You think, I think I could hang with these people. I think these are people that I would like to be around. And that's where sometimes when they do do films about these things, they tend to take away that kind of humanness and they want to set them up on a pedestal and make them something other than real people. And this is one that shows you the real people behind the story. All right. So let's go to that interview and then we'll come back and wrap up the show during this. When did you guys say, could I do what they did? Was there a point in when in the making of this where you thought, do I have what it takes to do what these two did to hide people, to kind of divert people? I think that's what's important about the show. Hopefully it's going to make a lot of people think, could I do what they did? Because it's about two very ordinary people. It's not big sweeping historical statement or like larger than life characters. These are literally just two young people who are going about their lives. You ended up doing really, really extraordinary thing, and they have the same attributes that loads of young people have. I mean, they were newly married. They love going out dancing like she was a big party girl and then their lives were turned upside down when they made this really heroic decision to have hired these eight people. So hopefully it will make lots of viewers think, would I be able to see this Is your answer? Yes. Or is it? I really would. It's hard to. That's such a hard question to answer because it's so late. You just sound like such an arrogant, provocative. So, yeah, I mean, I think what they did was so extraordinary and so incredible. You know, I, you know, thankfully will never be put in that position, you know? But what one kind of a role models for you. But, you know, one incredible thing they did is I see today that there are parallels because, you know, and you go, well, why am I not stepping out of my comfort zone and just saying something to people, say, you know, you're wrong. Yeah. But it's also, you know, the show's called a small light because, I mean, famous quote, anyone, no matter who you are, can turn on a small light in a dark room so anybody can do a little something for somebody. So I'd like to think I could definitely do a little something for somebody. You know. And what they did was was a little something. Somebody turned out to be a huge, huge thing. And they represent a huge number of people also doing that all over all over Europe. You know, they weren't the only ones. I remember seeing another movie about this, and I think I did interview me to really? Really. Yeah. And I did. Really? Yes. Yeah. It was a TV movie that they had done, and I think Mary Steenburgen played her. Yeah. And I don't remember her being as playful as you are in this. Well, obviously, it's in Tony and Joan's take on her and that and that writing of her. But I read her book and Frank remembered a few times that was kind of my main source of research. And her voice really does come out in that book and she does talk like you get the sense that she was quite cheeky and playful and she talks about how much she loves going out dancing and partying with her friends and how she found her husband so attractive. And, you know, the funny kind of conversations she had with Ann. So and then obviously that filtered through Joan Rita, our writer's voice. She very much has those sentiments herself and then filtered through mine. Our take on her is that But I do believe that she was right. That was their relationship a true love thing, or did it grow into a love? It's interesting question, isn't it? I feel that was true. A true love. Yeah. Because because they there was this huge barriers in that way. You know, y'all was married previously me did was wasn't married at 20 sort of into her mid twenties was read at that time and sort of spoke about how she could have gotten her brother come out and she could have got a man who would that and talks about not wanting family and doing things that, you know, possibly do anything in a very different way to how they would have done things in those in those times. There's a there's a there's a process of how how you live your life. You have kids early. You get married, you stay at home. So she's doing things very differently. And John was previously married. So I think that I think definitely that it's more romantic because they really wanted to make this work. And and he had to divorce his partner and all the rest of it. It's like it's a social faux pas. Those things. Did they do all those things in the bathtub? Because I thought, Oh, that's really cool. I mean, I don't know. I know they used to they used to to get away from everybody. They'd go like that. They said that that's a great thing. I think it's a huge, huge idea. Kids were running the bathroom and Susanna direct and like one of the first conversations I have with her is that she really wanted to make this relationship, even though it's a relationship in the forties feel real. Like we wanted to have those small moments of like them chatting together in the bath or like him asleep in bed and like seeing her get ready for bed and like all of the things that make a relationship feel like a tangible to an audience. Sure. Because even though it's in the forties, I feel that was know that a lot of guys don't meet like they don't and that was it was the prep for that And so and I think that's the problem that too many people make is that or they think it's a whole different era and it's a whole different thing and it's like they're us. Exactly. Yeah. What did you two learn from this? What did this teach you? I mean, this is a really good question. I mean, historically, it taught me no end to is, you know, just on on the surface, sort of people have become into this. The prelude is a sort of is the and frank story. Right. So everybody feels like they know I'm frank and they know the story. And it was a young girl in the annex and the rest of it. But I feel like the reality is people don't know the story. And how many episodes of you said you mention that you've seen two. Okay. So there's so much that you're going to hopefully learn and become aware of what was going on outside the annex, what was going on in the streets of Amsterdam. Yeah. So on a kind of more superficial level, if you were like historical level, here's a great deal for me. Just, just sort of kindness can, can win over everything and love and love, kindness and compassion, peace, bees, evil and beat hatred. And and just a reminder to everybody, the title of the show know every day you can fight. You can show the other acts of kindness and they and they feed into one another throughout the day. Sure, you can do that. And so there's always little things you can you can always look good, look for people who look to you. And yeah, I just learned so much about I'm like heroism and bravery on like a small scale from like to ordinary people. There were so many I've even seen two episodes, but like, as you get like into the depths of this show, there was so many anecdotes and stories that we tell that you will watch and be like, That must be made of what these people did. And we had that literally. Every time we got a new script, we were like, Whoa, Tony, Joe, like, is this really do they actually do this? Think the lengths that these people went to when they were literally just a secretary and a social worker and a young people was absolutely insane. So, yeah, I learned so much about being brave and also the amount that one human being can actually do so that that the best, most unfathomable stories are often the ones that are real. Yeah. So we've got it. Well, this Tony's made this up. This is too extravagant and sure and crazy. And it was always true. Thank you guys so much, love. It's amazing. But nice to meet you in great fun and good luck with this. I hope it all turns out to be a huge hit. All right, Bruce, thank you for those interviews. The show sounds fascinating. I think I'm definitely going to tune in and I think we've talked about this before. But, you know, for me personally, I have some Jewish heritage. So to these types of stories I really like to hear, you know, I enjoyed movies like Schindler's List, but even when I was in college, I took the history of the Holocaust, which was just a fascinating semester, very depressing semester. But one of the things they did is the professor, who was a retired rabbi, brought in a friend of his who was a Holocaust survivor. So he spoke to the experiences of what he had to go through, you know, in a concentration camp and showed the tattoo on his arm of, you know, how he was numbered. And one of a couple I've seen a couple of survivors in person. And it's sad because there's really not many of them left. So it's great that we can have stories like this, find ways to to have these stories, to share those experiences, but also, as you said, have a contemporary message as well. And I think there are applications that we can look at. Hopefully, we will never get to the point that our situation today is what it was back then. I've been fortunate to interview a number of survivors and they all have a different story to tell, different things that happened to them, different kinds of people who came into their lives and were the ones who really helped them through a situation. There is a documentary called Nicky's Family that you must see. It is so good. It's about a British, you know, a businessman who helped these children get to safety during World War Two. And he would find them places where he could live. They were they could live while they were separated from their parents or if something happened to their parents. And he he kind of he did this very clandestinely. He was a businessman. He was able to go over to places and he would create passports for them. He would do all this stuff. And he helped kind of get these kids out. It was hundreds that he was able to help. And in this Nicky's family, you must, must, must see it. You see him finally realizing the impact of his work. And they have this kind of, if you will, it's a program, a this is your life kind of thing. And they're introducing that he had done this and telling other people about it. And again, he thought he really I don't know what I did that was all that great. But when he realizes, you know, that somebody is making something out of this, they say, well, now the person next to you, she was one of the ones you helped, and the person next to her was somebody you helped. And before you knew it, it was everybody in that theater was somebody who he had helped and he had never met them. Wow. And here was the chance to see how the man was really, really moved by this that, you know, you do things that you think are the right thing to do, but you never see the results of it. And it is so powerful. But that is one of my favorite films of that era. And it shows exactly what somebody did and how. And children of those Holocaust survivors and how they wouldn't have been around without him helping them out and by just doing what he thought was the right thing to do by creating passports. And you'll see where he cut things out and pictures out and made these passports and got the papers they needed. It was fascinating that this man would do this kind of stuff, and he was knighted for his work. But it's just fun to see this old man just get really tickled by all these people. It's a really cool thing. So that's that's what I think we're our takeaway is that we can do something. Absolutely. So yeah, that's definitely one I'll put on my list to check out. Bruce What are we looking at in the coming weeks? Well, you know, I also like talk about getting to talk to people that make a difference. David Rubenstein is a billionaire who's done a lot of different things, but now he's doing a TV series about American icons, things that are iconic in the United States. Now, I said right away, Well, Mount Rushmore, of course, isn't that an icon? And he said, well, maybe if we do another season there, it might be in there. But he looked at things like the Hollywood sign would be an icon. And it's things that really immediately you identify and you can see something there, but it's a fascinating discussion we have about what is iconic and what does somebody like him with all that money do? And he does collect things. The Declaration of Independence, He has a couple of those. I think he has the papal papers. He he has a Magna Carta that things I've got lying around the house. I think they're in the basement in my house somewhere. I just had to dig them out. But this is what he is interested in. And he says he does it because he wants other people to be able to see these things. And so he loans them to libraries and museums so that then we can go there and say, you know what, people did do these things. They did exist. So his Magna Carta is like me owning a couple of copies of like a Mike Piazza baseball card. Basically, if you kept it in good shape. Or is it near mint? One of those kind of things, you know, because that is there are some guys sitting in a room that says this is a seven. It's just right. Somebody actually gets paid to do that. Yeah, but here's the job I know. And then, and so we have that coming up and then in a couple of weeks too, we're going to look forward to the summer. The summer, it's the big summer. We're going to do it. So there are movies besides Indiana Jones coming out. That's all. Barbie, Barbie, Barbie movie. We've got to get into that, man. Awesome. So we will come back in a couple of weeks and do that. All right. Well, until then, thank you for listening. And we'll be back soon with another episode of Streamed and Screened.

Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Adobe Premiere and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Welcome everyone to another episode of streamed and Screened and entertainment podcasts about movies and TV. I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee Enterprises and the co-hosts of the program, along with first ballot Hall of Famer Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter. I set you up. Good, good, good, good. You did good last week. You were a little disappointed I didn't hold you in high enough esteem. There you go. You know, I called my people. My people said, get him on that. What's going on? This is not right. But that's very good. I'm so thrilled. Baseball movies? Yes. Are you a big fan or not? I am. So, you know, we kind of preview beforehand what we might talk about on the show and I told you yesterday, I am very behind on things right now. I've been watching a little bit here. I'm a little Mandalorian, a little bit of Barry. Season four is back Succession is back. But I'm squeezing these things in because the New York Mets are in the middle of a West Coast swing. So I'm watching games at like ten, 11, 12:00 at night. I'm a huge baseball fan, Bruce. That's all I like. I buy the baseball package so I can watch watch the Mets every game. And I pretty much I probably get 120 games in a year easy. The Mets are your team. They are? Yeah. I'm from New York. Just because my dad, he was a he was a Mets fan. Okay, So I grew up in New York. In Jersey. So it's the jeans. It just. Yeah, do the jeans. That's how that works. And I'm a glutton for punishment, too. Well, you know, it's a lot like being a Cubs fan. It is. When you have that winning gear, it's it doesn't get any better than that. But think of the all the baseball movies then, that you've been able to squeeze in in your lifetime. Which do you like? Which ones stand out for me? Like every year. I don't do this quite as much now because I've got the kids. I've got a lot of lot of things in my life. But I used to be for the season or between the spring training and maybe that first month of the season, I would make it a point to watch as many baseball movies as I could year after year. So the ones that I would go to and so and I did it this year. First movie, I always pop on Bull Durham, always Circle Durham. Yep, because it takes place in the minor leagues. So to me it's like I'm getting ready for a full season of baseball and I love it. It's a great comedy. 1988 you've got Kevin Costner playing that aging catcher who should be kind of higher in the minor league system at that point. You know, he should have been a major leaguer at that point, but he never could quite crack. It wasn't quite good enough for for the big leagues. So they send him down to A-ball to work with a young pitcher who is Tim Robbins. Crazy, crazy. He's off the walls. He doesn't you know, he's a bonus baby and he's got to show him the ropes of both minor leagues of being a professional baseball player. But it's also kind of life coach as well. So and then I love it. Brandon Come on. Sarandon And of course, Susan and Tim Robbins, it's they ended up they never got married, but they they ended up going into a really long term relationship and they have a child or children, I mean, yeah but yeah so there was a that Bull Durham who's jerk struck something, right. Yeah. So Bull Durham is is my go to start movie of the baseball season so not field of dreams Field of Dreams is kind of like that Number two which is another you know Kevin Costner Costner's got that trifecta of baseball movies. So that is actually the one that I turned on second. And I watched it. It was a little bit tough to watch this year because it's about relationships. Is that that relationships between sons and their fathers. It came out a year after Bull Durham, which is kind of funny, but yeah, Field of Dreams, I threw it on. I showed it to the kids for the first time. They enjoyed it this year, but I was like ball in my eyes. Out from start to finish. My my father passed away recently. He's a huge, huge baseball fan. And it was a little tough to watch, especially in that last scene, you know? Yeah. You know, you can forget the field of dreams if you like. Oh, you have already have, Yeah. And did you run the bases? I did know. So I don't know if you know this, but if you go on Sundays or at least when I went at the time, I don't know if they changed anything, but if you go on a Sunday during the summer, they bring out a collection of ballplayers, they walk out of the cornfield and they put on a little bit of an exhibition right there. So it was like, Yeah, yeah. Well then did you get you got down on the field though, didn't you, to take pictures and stuff. Yeah. Oh yeah, Yeah. We, we kind of hung out, We sat on the sidelines, we watched the game is a little, a little long in the tooth, you know, they probably could have shortened it up a little bit, but we took the kids into the corn and walked out and saw the house and bought some trinkets and. And then drove. That was good. Yeah. Do these refreshments or not? They have a concession stand. I believe that you can make some purchases. It's been a few years. I think I was there in 2016, so it's been a while. So this was before they put that big stadium up for. Yeah. Okay. And I know they've I know they've expanded and added in like a more proper concession stand and merch and all that stuff. Like they had things. Then I bought a shirt and something else. A little field of dreams boss, maybe a little toy, but sitting in a box somewhere that I can't find, you know, that was always our vacation. When I was a kid. We would always go see, I'm sorry, the Minnesota Twins, but we would get there before I think anybody did, you know, because the parents were always making sure that we weren't late. And we would sit there and the stadium was empty. There was nobody there. So I had already kind of scoured the whole place, looked at every piece of merchandise. There was eight, like nine different things. And then by the time the game came, I was okay. I could go home. Now that park is in the Mall of America. That's right. Home plate in the Mall of America. But I always remember that. And the twins never won when we were there. So we had to be the bad luck charm for them. Well, I have a little a little Minnesota Twins trivia for you or a fun fact. Okay. So the old days, not super old, but do you remember Tom Kelly, the manager of the twins, in the 1980s? So Tom Kelly, he grew up in South Amboy, New Jersey, which is kind of the area where I lived. I played Little League with Tom Kelly Jr. You're kidding. Was a kid. He was okay. He was good on the team. And there was a time where we were playing a game when I think the twins were in town to play the Yankees and they had an off day. This was the year before Tom Kelly was elevated to manager. I think he was the third base coach at the time and he was hanging out on the on the sides and just watching and taking in the game. But Tom Kelly Jr who sadly passed away he's he's about my age. He's in his mid-forties and he he passed away a year or two ago. Oh no yeah tragically but he had a huge glove which was given to him by a player. So it's like way too big for a 12 year old, ten, ten year old, whatever it was at the time. He had this big puffy jacket that said Hubert Humphrey Metrodome on it. It was fun. Yeah, well, did Dad yell things to him or was he pretty good? He he stayed as low key as possible. He didn't want to. He didn't. I think he he knew his place and that was not managing ten year olds. Did you have those those bad parents though, that did that. I mine were pretty good with watching. I know there are definitely I've run into him I coached softball now there come on I periodically my my parents are pretty good but I've I've had issues with other parents and yeah I hey I know we're have you speak okay well then what about the A league of Their own? Did you like that movie? Yeah, that one's another favorite of mine. But Tom Hanks and I, I have yet to watch that remake the Amazon Prime TV series. You know what? I'm very disappointed. They are only going to do a handful of episodes for season two to kind of butt up. But I think it started in one direction and went in a whole different direction. It was more about, Oh, what's the term I want to use it wanted. It really leaned into the LGBTQ audience and you know, they wanted to somehow say that there were a lot of gay female baseball players back in the day, but it that derailed the whole idea of women being treated equally on the field. And I think it got away from the sports aspect and went into a whole other thing with even like a factory nearby and so I was not as the first episode was fine, but then it started waning and I thought, I don't know if I can watch this anymore. And it's not that I have anything against anything that they were doing. It's just it seemed like bait and switch. So I still want to maybe go back and watch that. The movie itself with Tom Hanks. I watched did a few months ago with my daughters because I thought it would be a really good one for them. They're about 12 years old now and I, I really think it's important in this day and age to make sure that they see really strong female role models. Sure. Because if you think about it, I mean, things like even high school sports, they weren't playing high school basketball until like the seventies. I mean, college basketball for women wasn't really a thing until it didn't really break through until the early 1980s. I don't know. Yeah. And it's really taken a long time for for women. And I don't even think they've gotten equal footing to this point. It's much better than it used to be. So I think it's really important for my daughters to see really strong, positive role models like that in sports. So I it was one that I really wanted to watch with them and they enjoyed it. They did? Oh, good, good. How about how about the natural I'm throwing ones out at you. Yeah, you can do that. The natural. I like it. I don't love it. I think that's one where a lot of baseball fans absolutely love the natural. I thought it was a little bit over the top and kind of almost unbelievable. I do like a sense of reality with my baseball movies and there's tons of of legendary baseball players who can do extreme things. I just thought that that was just a little too much for me. I think it was too glossy. I think it didn't have the the the reality that it needed, you know, what, about 40 to 42 with Chadwick Boseman, that. Oh, I did watch it. I have not I'm trying to think when I did it was really good. I, I think, you know, that's another one of those movies where from a historical standpoint, I love watching that kind of movie I like, especially Jackie Robinson. He, you know, seeing the story the way he broke it. And I love movies that are historically accurate or true. And as somebody who studied history in college, too, and being a huge baseball fan. So yeah, 42 solid movie. Yeah. Well, Chadwick Boseman, if you go back and look at his list of work he played a lot of people who were who existed and that he was so versatile that he'd play these ones. It's amazing that he wasn't nominated for one of those roles because they were always very inspirational and very, very believable. I mean, you bottom is any number of people. Yeah, how he dug in and actually did the work to be a baseball player. So you'd buy the the kind of things he'd do on the on the field. It was interesting. Okay. Sandlot love the sandlot, you know. So there there's one where I still haven't shown it to the kids because I think my wife isn't too thrilled with some of the themes in it. Yeah, it's kind of in that they're, they're 12. They can probably watch it. It's fine. It goes back to I mean, they've already seen it in school. They probably have. I grew up seventies into the eighties. We played so many baseball games in the mid eighties. We would my summers as a 11, 12, 13 year old, we would wake up in the morning, we would walk up to the baseball fields that were at the end of my block. We would play in to lunch, we would go home and get lunch, and then we go back and finish playing until the parents got home and had dinner. So for me, like The Sandlot was just an extension. It was life. It was life. Yeah, exactly. You're killing me, Smalls. Yes. Isn't it funny how that film did produce lines that you can repeat and have repeated? I'm sure it was Bad News Bears then. Were you a fan of that? Yeah, and that's probably of the early movies. One of my favorites. Now they did what was it? Bad News Bears did a bunch of them. They were big. Yeah, they were bad. That original, though, is a classic and I think it gets into even if you played Little League, you always and I was on one of those teams where the coach was like, I had a coach one time who the reason why he was coaching was part of community service because he like it through a trunk. It was like literally the Bad News Bears. We didn't have uniforms. It was really weird. So yeah, the Bad News Bears, I could very much relate to it. It was a fun movie. Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal It's just it's a good one. Well, and they took that template and used it for other other films like The Mighty Ducks. I mean, you could see the things that they had. It's just let's just switch the sports. They'll never know. It's the same film. It is the same film. Yeah, that's all The Mighty Ducks was showed showed the Mighty Ducks to my kids. They did not enjoy it as much as they didn't like it. Now. Yeah. Yeah. Different sport. Yep. What other ones do you like? Are there one and out one for me. So I'm a I'm like just a I could be like a crazy fan. I've mellowed out my old age a lot, but fever pitch. Do you remember fever pitch? Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. So that one, it's it's based on a Nick Hornby movie. Their book Fever Pitch A Fan's Tale. But it's the book is soccer, Right? And they turned it into a movie where Jimmy Fallon is a crazed Boston Red Sox fan whose team never wins and they fail him every year. And he goes through this whole ritual but at the same time is trying to have like a relationship with with a woman. And, you know, I always thought it's funny that they were doing it. And then while they were filming that movie, the Red Sox actually were good and they had to shoot a new ending for it to capture the fact that the Red Sox won the world Series. But it's a fun one. It's from the same author of High Fidelity. So if you're a fan of of his book, High Fidelity or the movie that came out years ago and even there was even a Hulu TV series, but it's a similar theme, I like to think that I was never quite as crazy as Jimmy Fallon's character in that movie, but I probably was a little bit close. You know, I think it shows that Jimmy Fallon isn't really an actor, Right. But they worked well together. Drew and Jimmy were a good pairing on the screen. It was you know, you don't really need all the extras. I, I do wonder what it's like trying to film something like that, you know? Do you just kind of you're at the park and you do it on the off days and then they bring in the do they have extras or do they just film on a day that, you know, there is a team there? It's it's fascinating to see how they they might play that whole thing. But one of the ones that I like is a series. Okay. Brockmire Oh, yeah. Brockmire. Hank Azaria Yeah, this kind of washed up. ANNOUNCER Yep. Has to go to this. This I don't even know what league it would be team to be the announcer there. And I always thought it was so funny how they tried to maintain the semblance of, yeah, we're, we're, we're professionals. We're. Yeah. What do you mean? And they were so bad. Yeah, but. And Hank can really do that. Yeah. Pretty good at playing that. That kind of a role. I love the first two seasons of it. It kind of fizzled out in that last one. I don't know if you made it through the whole way. It was that that last season was in the future, set in the future, and baseball was kind of on the demise and Oh God, no. It was it was really weird. I enjoyed it. I tried to get if I had another friend that got me into it that he really liked it. We kind of crushed through it one weekend together and it was really good. I've tried to get a few other people into it who just couldn't get into the concept. I think you have to be a certain level too, of baseball fans may be appreciated. He did. Hank Azaria modeled the character off of a little bit off of Lindsey Nelson, who is a broadcaster for the New York Mets back in the sixties and seventies. So did he. Yeah, I guess he did. Yeah. It was a little bit more of a deadpan approach to broadcasting. Maybe I like those kinds of films because it's about losers. Yeah, Yeah. And for some reason you want to just cheer because if it's a winning team, think of any movies that were winning teams. I don't know that there were. It's always the come from behind concept that seems to to work. So Major League major League. Oh, my point, which is funny because I love Ted Lasso, but Ted Lasso is nothing but a major league rip off just soccer instead of baseball. But and I love them both. But but Major League is another one, which I think has all those quotable moments that you can dig out all the time. And it had such a fun ensemble cast of Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Wesley Snipes. It's fine. And it was filmed in Milwaukee, even though it takes place in Cleveland. That first one. Wow. My grandparents went to one of the filming. They they needed fans to fill the stands at county, State Old County Stadium, which is very similar to Municipal Stadium in Cleveland. And did they say it was fun or do they say they enjoyed it? I really was going back. They went and they spent the night. They were I guess they were given instructions to like cheer at this moment and then they would have to cheer six times because they had to keep redoing the take. And that it's kind of funny knowing that having that context that it is County Stadium and that they had to cheer at certain moments. If you go back and watch the movie, even though I can't see my grandparents anywhere in the movie, I can kind of envision them being told, okay, like cheer now, don't cheer now look happy, don't look happy, that kind of thing. Because you can start sort of pick through those moments in that movie a little bit. Yes, yes, yes. Well, somewhere I have baseball cards from Major League. Do you? Yeah. They sent it back in the day. And don't ask me where it is, but, you know, when the vast heap is sorted and multiplied, we'll find it in there and I'll give them to You can have. I appreciate that. You know, Topps, the baseball card company occasionally has done it was like weird subsets within their annual sets of cards and they did one a few years ago with cards for the it was like the anniversary of Major league. And they did cards for that. And they they've done a couple other movies. I can't think of them all offhand, but they've had they've had a few of those in the past where they were. Yeah. You know, they're I had to buy them on the secondary market. I had yeah. They weren't crazy price but they, and they included some inserts like, you know, autographs from Wesley Snipes and but how many did he do. Like two. And then you're really a rapper and you can't find one of them. Yeah, exactly. And that one where the honors kid that's where that went you know, from a historical standpoint to eight months out is another good one. The 1919 Black Sox scandal. Yes, it's a little dense. And I think when I first watched it, when it came out, so that came out in 88 and it was probably around 13 or so when it came out. It was a little dense for me at the time, but I've come to appreciate it now. It's just the audience, you know, you were expecting sandlot and instead more than you cared to know. Another thing that I do like to pop out, I haven't watched it really this year, but was the documentary Baseball by Ken Burns for PBS, which is just a really deep dive into each inning, is basically a ten year span, more or less in the history of baseball. And you can tell that he's a fan. Yes. Just by the way, that all put together. And I'll I'll stop because I can't think of the guy's name, but he brought a I'm a Negro League player and he was featured heavily in the in the series. And the guy was the sweetest man you've ever met. He was just it was really fun to talk to because he talked about a game that maybe we didn't realize it was there. You know, you're out in in Iowa. Yeah. Do you ever see the movie Sugar? Sugar? It's from 2008. It was kind of a low ish budget. I don't know if is made for TV or just one of those that went short term in the theaters and then flew out. But it was really if you if you get a chance, go back and check this one out. It takes place in Iowa. Okay. It follows a player that gets signed out of the Dominican Republic, which is is a big thing in baseball. And it follows him for basically a season where he goes to spring training. He doesn't speak any English. This player, along with several other players who don't speak English, they go out to breakfast every morning and the only thing they know how to order is pancakes. So they they get pancakes every single morning. And then he gets assigned to a team in the Quad Cities and he basically lives with the host family for the whole year but is struggling to adapt. And it follows him through this entire season up until kind of like the end where he he runs into, you know, problems. And it's really heartbreaking because I think they tried to make it as accurate as possible to what a foreign born young player who kind of, you know, he signs a bonus. It's probably you know, it's not a ton of money. It's but but for for a young player who's poor in the Dominican Republic who maybe gets a $10,000 bonus or whatever it was, it's a huge sum of money that he can support his family. But then he's dropped in to America and he doesn't know how to live. He has no connections, he doesn't speak the language. And it's really heartbreaking. I must see that sugar, sugar. I'll look for it. No, I didn't see it. It was not here. So I didn't have the exposure to that. But that does sound fascinating because, you know, there are kind of tropes that they rely on, which is, you know, the losers becoming winners, the bad boy suddenly deciding that he's not he's not going to go in that direction. So you don't get to really see what the reality of the of the thing is. And I always wonder, you know, what about those who get cut? What happens to them and what career do they have after that? And do they still talk about their baseball years or are they you know, that's that's in their past or do they live in the past? And that's all, you know. So there's a good Pete Rose story in there somewhere. So you would I think you would like sugar then because it kind of gets into that check that one out definitely for well, the season has begun. Are you are you as dedicated this year as you were in past years or are you pretty sucked in? I mean, the Mets 101 games last year and they're looking pretty good this year. So I'm I'm I'm going to be locked in for the better part of the summer and will probably be crushed by the end of it. It's going to make it all the way. Come on, you guys are. I'll be crushed. I'll I'll. It always ends in disappointment for me. That's that's life of a mets fan. And then you say, well, I'm just wearing this shirt because I'm a rapper. That's right. That's my, my, my phone. Yeah. You know that the League of Their Own is one of those things that we see now with a trend, as I can see it in television, which is rebooting ideas or concepts and putting them out there on the small screen in a different way. And they did twist that one in a different way. And also the new Greece one, the rise of the pink ladies that goes in another direction as well. And there are other ones down the road, but one that I wish we could talk about is Dead Ringers. The show was a David Cronenberg film with Jeremy Irons, and I remember seeing this thing and it was a scary as you could get because they were two doctors. And you know, at the time when I saw it, I always believe that you trusted a doctor. A doctor was he was citing gospel. So if he said that you needed to use some weird thing that he had invented, like the Mantel brothers do, I would go for it. Right. And then I guess we're a little savvy or now about all those kinds of things. But they've changed. They've shifted it. So it's not twin brothers that are in the medical profession. It's twin women. And they're they're still called Beverly and Elliot Mantle, both played by Rachel Weisz. And they are interested in obstetrics and what they can do with that and how they could control life and birth. And I mean, it opens up a lot of areas that the first film never did, and it talks about the the high cost of medical care and how it isn't necessarily a, you know, kind of a what we would consider a public kind of nonprofit kind of thing. It's a profit center for people. And there are rich people investing in the kind of concepts that the mantles come up with, and they're seeing it as a great revenue stream. And this thing digs into that concept where, you know, they don't really care if they're hurting people in the process. They're going to make some money off of this. So it's fascinating to see how they go through all that. It's a they open it up to a different world and the cast is largely female and the people behind the cameras are female, too. So they're giving a female perspective of all of all of this. I got to talk to Poppy Lou, who plays the assistant to the Mantles. I don't want to call her a maid, but she's certainly there all the time with both Beverly and Eliot. And she gets a chance to see how kind of corrupt they are and what they're doing. And the fascinating thing and you'll see this when you listen to the the interview is that Poppy is a dual in real life. She actually does have birthing experience with other people. And she talks about the life of a dual life. But it is fascinating what she was able to glean from all of this and what she learned from the process. So that's in our interview with Poppy Lou from Dead Ringers. Poppy, can I ask you about being a do a lot. How does that play with this? Did this give you, like different insight or different a different view of everything that goes on in the film? Yeah, I mean, I was a jeweler before this project happened. It kind of was just like a really serendipitous marriage of like worlds and interests. But yeah, I like, I think being a doula is something that so near and dear to my heart. I think about sort of the reproductive state of this country a lot and that I think to like encounter a script that is so captivating and compelling as a story and also is very deeply embedded in the themes of, in my mind, reproductive rights, reproductive justice, the the difference in birthing experience for different people based on their background, their race, their class status, on how much the medical system fails us to have that as an undercurrent, a backdrop for this incredibly visually captivating, dark, moody, sexy story. So cool. I was fascinated by the way the monitor is an aspect of it, how, you know, it's like having a child knowing that we're making money off this and it's like, wow, it literally is, though. Have you seen the documentary called The Business of Being Born? It literally I mean, like even I think this is no shade at all. It's like doctors or unions, like heroes. Incredible love. But it really is the medical system, you know, like like it's really based off of an industrial factory mentality where, like, people are like the products, like you want them in and out as fast as possible. It's based on efficiency, it's based on cutting costs because that's how everything is based, you know, And it ends up being that like the care and like what people actually need to have, like a holistic and even holistic, but just like a, like a positive experience is it is not is it prioritized by how the system works? It's really like, get in, get the baby out or like whatever, and like la la la la. And I think you encounter care through like individual people, but not because of like the system. That to me, that was even scarier than all of the kind of other things, especially when we saw the Cronenberg film where they had all those kind of tools and whatnot that scared the hell out of me. But the idea that everything is so kind of old and calculated, I guess, is what I see it, is that for you, you dealt with both Beverly and Elliot. Yeah. How good is that or how easy was that? Or how fun was that? It's easy and fun cause it's Rachel and she's a genius and it's incredible. But I mean, yeah, we for the scenes where they're where both twins are, and then we just. We have to sell them twice or twice as many takes everything. She'll play it as one of the twins. Katie Hawthorne was incredible, who is both Rachel's body double and also plays the young version of Rachel's mother in the final scenes is incredible, everybody. And she'll stand in for the other twin and you'll just then, you know, they'll be like a 30 minute or whatever changeover Rachel will get from Beverly to Elliot or Elliot to Beverly come back again. And like, I think even when you watch it the way that these two characters are so specifically different, like, like there's even a scene where the two twins, like, they play each other as themselves. And the fact that that's done with so much like, like the specificity and realness, like, I think Rachel's a genius, you know, she's playing two different people and then she's playing them play each other. It's it's fun. All right, Bruce, thanks for that interview. You know, you were talking a little bit about a lot of program now seems to be remakes of things or maybe stuff that's been sitting in development for a little while. We're in this threat of a writer's strike it I correct right. But what is going on there? Well, and it could really delay the fall season. It could make content, you know, kind of disappear. They would end up doing a lot of game shows and things that didn't need scripting. But what they also did back the last time I can remember is they took old scripts and reshot them. So they didn't need to have new writers. They just did old shows and I'm sorry I can't get one off the top of my head. But it didn't work. It was a concept. It didn't work. Reality TV, however, was a good answer to all of that because they said, Well, we really don't need a script there. You know, they're just talking mirror. And so I think they would lean in heavier in that aspect and maybe they would bring back stuff and say, we're going to remake it. I don't know. Interestingly, next week we're going to talk about a small light, which is a National Geographic miniseries. And they had done a movie about the people that are covered in this, but not in such an extensive way. And it's about the people who helped the Franks hide out during World War Two. MEEP Jeez, does that name ring a bell? Meep Geese. She was a an assistant or a secretary of sorts to Mr. Frank and he just he said, you know, we've got to get out. Can you help us? And she didn't pause for a minute. She and her husband were very good at keeping their secret, hiding them, bringing them food, doing all this kind of stuff. And they really never got the attention that others thought they should have because they were very courageous in what they did. Well, now this miniseries opens that up and gives you a real good look at what they actually did and others like them and what kind things they were able to do during World War Two. But I talked to the the stars of that show, and they're a unique perspective, particularly since, you know, they're young and they didn't have a point of reference for a lot of the things that were going on. So that'll be next week. A small light and we'll talk to the stars of that. I saw that live Schreiber is in that is he's out of frame Yeah yeah he you know he's not in it that much but it is one of those ones where you go I didn't recognize them because it isn't it isn't one of those kind of roles that he's used to playing it is, it is a a leap for him as well. Okay. Well, I'm looking forward to that one because as I said, I love historical dramas and as somebody who's got Jewish heritage, it certainly will, you know, be a little bit touching for me as well. They went on location to film a lot. They didn't film the Anne Frank House, but they did film nearby a lot of places. There's one where they jump in the water and what you'll find I thought really interesting about this is that they were far more contemporary. I mean, you know how we think of people in the past, how kind of maybe closed up they are and these are not these people aren't like that. And they were very fun. And Miep is one of those ones who just will. She's not going to think about it if she should do it, just jumps in and does it. And she's very good when she's dealing with the Nazis and how they want her to talk. So you'll enjoy I think you'll enjoy how it how it spills out. And it also tells us that we too, could make a difference if we only speak out and and do what's right. Wonderful. Well, we'll we'll dive more into next week. Until then, thank you for listening. Until then, batter up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Anne Frank toured America, Otto Frank approved a musical version of "The Diary of Anne Frank." Fifty years after this version was first conceived, it still hasn't made its Broadway debut. We talk with that show's creators, composer Michael Cohen and librettist Enid Futterman, about how that happened.

In the first episode of "Playing Anne Frank," discover how "The Diary of Anne Frank" became one of the most iconic plays and movies of the 20th Century. Hear how the diary was written; how Otto Frank found a publisher for it; how it was adapted by Meyer Levin — first as a radio play then as a stage play, then how he got fired from the job and replaced by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett (enough drama for a whole podcast series, let alone an episode); and finally, how the show was cast and staged for Broadway.

Roger Guenveur Smith - Award-winning actor, playwright, director, and educator who has created a prolific body of work on stage and screen who is returning to the stage! He will premiere his new solo performance of “OTTO FRANK” at the Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival, January 12 - January 22, 2023. Smith can currently be seen in MGM's Orion Pictures acclaimed feature film TILL from Chinonye Chukwu where he stars as the unsung Mississippi radical Dr. TRM Howard. He joins Tavis for a conversation about his latest projects

Did you know Hitler and the Nazi party revered President Franklin D. Roosevelt  for the racist laws he introduced?  Have you ever learned about how America's Jim Crow and other discriminatory legislation inspired the 400+ Nuremberg laws that regulated the private and public lives of Jewish people? Were you aware the U.S. State Department denied a vis request from Otto Frank and his family shortly before they were executed in Nazi death camps?  I boldly suggest  America's standard curriculum that teaches World War II is incomplete without this information. Take a listen and complete your understanding of America's participation in World War II! This episode is dedicated to Charlene Schiff. In honor of her bravery, and out of responsibility to her request, I ask that we all take the time to learn about these events so that we will not allow history to repeat itself. I have included her voice in part of this episode. Her voice recording came from a project created by the U.S Holocaust Memorial Museum. Episode Information Sources:-https://www.ushmm.org-Hitler's American Model: The United States and The Making of The Making of Nazi Race Law by James Whitman-Framing the Moron: The Social Construction of Feeble-Mindedness in the American Eugenic Era by Gerald O'Brien

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Masters of Horror and Suspense Peter Straub (1993-2022), in conversation with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff, recorded april 4, 1993 while on tour for his novel, “The Throat,” third in a thematic trilogy that included “Koko” and “Mystery.” Peter Straub, who died on September 4th, 2022 at the age of 79, was a master of horror and supernatural fiction whose work erased any distinction between genre and the literary world. Among his best known novels were Ghost Story, Shadowland, Floating Dragon, The Hellfire Club, and his collaboration with Stephen King, The Talisman.   He was also a poet and short fiction author. Three years after the interview, Peter Straub's novel The Hellfire Club was published to great acclaim, followed in 2001, with Black House, a sequel to The Talisman, written with Stephen King, and four later novels, the last one, A Dark Matter, published in 2010. A third book in The Talisman series was announced, but never written. A television series based on The Talisman for Netflix and created by The Duffer Brothers of Stranger Things fame, was announced in 2021 and is apparently still on track. Complete 39-minute interview. Digitized, remastered and edited by Richard Wolinsky in September, 2022. This interview has not seen the light of day in nearly thirty years.   Stephen King, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky and Lawrence Davidson, while on tour for The Dead Zone, recorded September 8, 1979 at Dark Carnival Bookstore in Berkeley. At the time of this recording, Stephen King had only written a handful of books — Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining and the Stand preceding The Dead Zone. There were also two novels under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, which was still a secret at the time. Since then, Stephen King has become a literary institution with over 300 credits for television and film adaptations at IMDb. He also has 64 novels, 11 collections of stories, and 5 non-fiction books. This interview was transcribed and can be found in both Feast of Fear: Conversations with Stephen King, edited by Tim Underwood and Chuck Miller, and Stephen King and Clive Barker: Macabre II, edited by James Van Hise.

När författaren Agneta Pleijel som femtonåring läste Anne Franks dagbok greps hon omedelbart av det tragiska ödet, men också av hur den unga Anne skriver om relationen mellan henne och modern: "Det är en mognadsprocess beskriven med hela det stilistiska registret det är en författare som skriver!" Detta är en repris av Kulturlivet med Gunnar Bolin som sändes första gången 29 november 2021.ANNE FRANKS DAGBOK MEST LÄSTA SKILDRINGEN AV NAZISMENS BROTTAnne Frank (1929 - 1944) föddes i Frankfurt, Tyskland. När Hitler kom till makten 1933 flyttade familjen till Amsterdam i Holland.Redan som liten var hon mycket intresserad av att läsa och hitta på sagor och berättelser. På sin 13-årsdag fick hon en dagbok i present. En knapp månad senare, 5 juli 1942, gick familjen under jorden. De gömde sig i drygt två år och Anne Frank skrev hela tiden i dagboken, men också andra berättelser.4 augusti 1944 upptäcktes de av SS och fördes till läger, först i Holland och senare Auschwitz. Anne och systern hamnade slutligen i lägret Bergen-Belsen, där de dog av tyfus och svält i februari 1945.Endast fadern Otto Frank överlevde och tog hand om dagböckerna när han återvände till Amsterdam efter kriget. Den gavs ut första gången 1947 och på svenska 1953. Då var känsliga stycken strukna, till exempel de om Annes sexuella uppvaknande eller hennes såriga relation till modern. 1997 gavs den oavkortade originalutgåvan ut på engelska, 2005 på svenska i översättning av Per Holmer.AGNETA PLEIJEL EN AV SVERIGES FRÄMSTA FÖRFATTAREAgneta Pleijel är en av Sveriges främsta, kritikerhyllade och lästa författare med romaner som romandebuten Vindspejaren, Lord Nevermore, Fungi, En vinter i Stockholm, Spådomen en flickas memoarer och Doften av en man.Hon har också skrivit poesi, dramatik bland annat Kollontaj och arbetat som kulturjournalist och kulturchef. Agneta Pleijels verk har översatts till många språk och belönats med en mängd priser. Hon är professor emerita och åren 19882015 var hon ledamot av Samfundet De nio.GUNNAR BOLIN KULTURJOURNALIST PÅ SVERIGES RADIOProgramledare Gunnar Bolin är mångårig medarbetare på Sveriges Radio och har arbetat på kulturredaktionen sedan 1989.

2/2. Eva Schloss remembers her days as a girl in Amsterdam playing in the street with the other children including Anne Frank who, for a time, took a particular interest in her older brother Heinz. Eva also remembers the day the Dutch resistance worker exposed her family to the Nazis and they were carted off to Auschwitz. She remembers the train pulling up to the platform in Poland and the promise she made her brother to go back to find the paintings he'd done in hiding, if he didn't make it out alive.After being selected to live by Josef Mengele, Eva and her mother entered Auschwitz-Birkenau while her brother and father were sent to a men's camp. There they endured starvation, back-breaking work, blistering summers and freezing winter.In Part 2 of Eva's story, she describes stumbling across Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father while trying to find help after the liberation of the camp left her stranded with no idea what to do next. The story of Otto and her mother falling in love and finding happiness in the years after and how, after many years of nightmares and silence, Eva finally found her voice to tell her astonishing story of survival, which she still does to this day.You can listen to Part 1 first here.Her memoir is called After Auschwitz: A Story of Heartbreak and Survival by the Stepsister of Anne FrankThis episode was produced by Mariana Des Forges, the assistant producer was Hannah Ward and the audio editor was Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!To download the History Hit app please go to the Android or Apple store.

Niemand kon vermoeden dat het dagboek van een Joods tienermeisje uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog nog tot op de dag van vandaag over de hele wereld gelezen zou worden. En wat weinig mensen weten, is dat het bekende roodgeruite schriftje niet het énige is dat Anne Frank tijdens haar onderduikperiode heeft geschreven. Menno Metselaar, werkzaam bij de Anne Frank Stichting, vertelt in deze aflevering o.a. over verzetsstrijder Miep Gies. Zij heeft de persoonlijke bezittingen van het Joodse gezin in veiligheid gebracht nadat ze in 1944 werden ontdekt en afgevoerd. Na de oorlog heeft Mies talloze schriftjes van Anne kunnen overhandigen aan Otto Frank, de vader van Anne. Hoe was het voor hem om al deze teksten van zijn overleden dochter te lezen? Welk verhaal kon Anne op die manier nog vertellen? En wat heeft hij er uiteindelijk mee gedaan?De podcast Topstukken wordt je aangeboden door de VriendenLoterij, dé cultuurloterij van Nederland. Ontdek meer over deze podcast op topstukkendepodcast.nl.

'Dit is het testament van uw dochter, Anne'. Met die woorden overhandigde Miep Gies het rood-wit geruite dagboek met het koperen slotje aan Otto Frank, de vader van Anne Frank. Het was begin augustus 1945. Twee jaar later, nu 75 jaar geleden, verscheen Het Achterhuis, Dagboekbrieven 14 juni 1942 - 1 augustus 1944. Het zou wereldberoemd worden als Het Dagboek van Anne Frank. En in deze jubileumweek verschijnt het boek over het dagboek, getiteld Geschiedenis van het dagboek. Otto Frank en het Achterhuis. De schrijver ervan, Sandra van Beek, is te gast.

Cái Thật Và Thực Tại là cuốn sách được viết bởi Otto Frank, từng là một học trò của Sigmund Freud và là một trong những nhà tâm lý học nổi tiếng của thuyết phân tâm học. Dù lý thuyết của Otto Frank bị hội phân tâm học phản bác, và lý thuyết của ông đã bị lãng quên trong lịch sử tâm lý học lâm sàng trong một khoảng thời gian, lý thuyết này vẫn quay trở lại và ảnh hưởng rất nhiều tới những nghiên cứu sau này của nhiều nhà tâm lý học đồ sộ khác.Với sách nói này, thính giả sẽ được tìm hiểu những bí ẩn về cái tôi dưới một lăng kính rất khác. Dù công nhận sự tuyệt vời của thuyết phân tâm học của Freud, Frank cho rằng thuyết phân tâm học không có tác dụng nhiều trong trị liệu tâm lý. Phản bác lại tất cả những quan điểm về cái tôi của Freud, Jung và Adler, Frank cho rằng cái tôi không chỉ là một bản ngã vô thức, hay một phản chiếu của quy luật xã hội, cái tôi có một ý chí riêng. Và nhờ ý chí này, cái tôi không ngừng trải nghiệm và sáng tạo, phát triển trong từng khoảnh khắc sống.Cuốn sách giới thiệu cho khán giả một góc nhìn mới trong tâm lý học, và đặc biệt là giới thiệu cho khán giả Việt Nam những kho tàng kiến thức về con người đồ sộ của thế giới.--Về Fonos:Fonos là ứng dụng sách nói có bản quyền.

Anne Frank est morte des suites du typhus dans le camp de concentration de Bergen-Belsen, en février ou mars 1945. Son journal a ému des millions de lecteurs. Aujourd'hui, on en sait davantage sur celui qui aurait dénoncé la jeune fille juive et sa famille.Une jeune Juive dans la tourmenteAnne Frank naît en 1929 dans une famille juive aisée. Le père est un industriel qui, tout en étant sensible aux valeurs de la religion juive, n'en observe pas tous les préceptes. Sa femme et lui-même, ainsi que leurs deux filles, fréquentent d'ailleurs des catholiques et des protestants.En 1933, les Frank, qui vivent à Francfort, quittent l'Allemagne, désireux d'échapper aux persécutions contre les Juifs. Ils s'installent alors à Amsterdam.En juillet 1942, les Allemands commencent à déporter les Juifs des Pays-Bas. Le 6 de ce mois, la famille prend possession d'un appartement situé dans l'entreprise de fabrication de confiture que possède le père.C'est là qu'Anne Frank va écrire l'essentiel de son journal. Elle y parle de sa famille et de ses amis, puis, à partir de juillet 1942, de la vie qu'elle mène, avec ses parents et sa sœur, dans l'appartement où ils se sont réfugiés.L'identité du délateur découverteLe 4 août 1944, les Allemands font irruption dans la cachette des Frank. Anne et sa famille sont alors déportés à Bergen-Belsen, où la jeune fille et sa sœur Margot trouveront la mort.Mais qui les a dénoncés ? C'est à cette lancinante question que répondent les conclusions d'une longue enquête internationale. Après avoir interrogé, durant cinq ans, des dizaines de personnes et compulsé des centaines de milliers de documents, les enquêteurs croient savoir qui est le dénonciateur.Il s'agirait d'un certain Arnold van den Bergh, Juif lui-même et notaire de son état. Cette dénonciation aurait été le prix à payer pour sauver sa famille de la déportation.Une lettre anonyme en aurait d'ailleurs averti Otto Frank, le père d'Anne, revenu de Bergen-Belsen. Mais il n'en fit jamais état, refusant sans doute d'accabler un homme lui aussi en butte aux persécutions des nazis. Voir Acast.com/privacy pour les informations sur la vie privée et l'opt-out.

Joyce's wartime refuge and his favourite song, Bloody Sunday remembered, and the day Otto Frank came to visit, with Lorna Siggins, Máirín O'Malley, Seán Beattie, Fran O'Rourke, Judith Mok and Colette Bryce

Eva Schloss and Anne Frank had been childhood friends and neighbours in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Both their families had a horrific experience at Auschwitz and after the war, Eva became Anne's posthumous stepsister when her mother married Otto Frank, Anne's father. When Otto first discovered Anne's now world-famous diary, he showed it to Eva. It was an emotional experience and it reminded Eva of her last conversation with her beloved brother Heinz. He was a gifted artist and he had revealed where he had hidden his cache of secret paintings. Eva was determined to bring them to light. Eva shares her extraordinary Holocaust testimony over two episodes. In this second episode, she describes her experience of the liberation of Auschwitz and her efforts to keep her brother Heinz's memory alive. In part one, you can hear about her life before Auschwitz and her family's eventual capture.

Eva Schloss and Anne Frank had been childhood friends and neighbours in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. Eva remembers Anne's nickname was ‘Miss Quack Quack' because she always loved talking. Then, like the Franks, Eva's Jewish family was forced into hiding. Both families were ultimately betrayed and sent to Auschwitz, the most notorious of the Nazi death camps. After the war, Eva became Anne's posthumous stepsister when her mother married Otto Frank, Anne's father. Together they worked tirelessly to promote Anne Frank's legacy through her diary.

Anne Frank was deze week groot nieuws. Want nadat jaren achtereen de speurtochten naar het verraad van de familie Frank niet tot een bevredigend eindresultaat leidden, is nu eindelijk de dader gevonden: een bestuurslid van de Joodse Raad zou het hebben gedaan. Zo blijkt uit een anoniem tipbriefje dat Otto Frank vlak na de oorlog kreeg. En zo bevestigt een grootschalig onderzoek van een 'uniek internationaal coldcaseteam', dat naar eigen zeggen met nieuwe technologieën en revolutionaire onderzoeksmethoden onder leiding van een oud-FBI-agent eindelijk het raadsel heeft opgelost. Maar er zijn heel veel losse eindjes en heel veel aannames, vinden de historische deskundigen van buiten. De 'smoking gun' ontbreekt, zogezegd. Te gast zijn David Barnouw, kenner van Anne Frank, haar dagboek en de historie ervan; en Bart van der Boom, van wie De politiek van het kleinste kwaad. Een geschiedenis van de Joodse Raad voor Amsterdam dit voorjaar verschijnt.

Paulo escreveu que o fruto do Espírito também é BONDADE! Ou seja, ao amor, a alegria, a paz, a paciência e a gentileza devemos somar a bondade. São virtudes que a “soma apresenta o resultado = Fruto do Espírito” Essa combinação de valores que retratam a pessoa completa em Deus chamada por Paulo em Gálatas de Fruto do Espírito, é o que Deus – por Seu Espírito deseja produzir no cristão, porque como já foi dito esse é pra ser o estado normal do crente genuíno e maduro. Já expliquei a diferença entre benignidade e bondade, explicando que benignidade, ou amabilidade, ou gentileza aparece retrata o “coração bondoso” e denota a essência, independente da ação, enquanto bondade refere-se à bondade ativa, as ações de bondade!  A pessoa benigna não precisa fazer o bem para que as pessoas se sintam bem na presença delas, porque elas transpiram, exalam bondade! Mas o Espírito de Deus quer também produzir em nós a bondade concreta, palpável, que é a prática da bondade! Anne Frank foi uma foi uma adolescente judia vítima dos nazistas durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, que esteve no famoso campo de concentração de Auschwitz e morreu aos 16 anos, vítima da febre tifoide. Tornou-se famosa porque seu pai (único sobrevivente da família – Otto Frank) encontrou e publicou um diário dela com registros de 2 anos de sua vida, no qual retrata os horrores da guerra, dos bombardeios e da perseguição nazista – especialmente aos judeus. A despeito de sua experiência dolorosa, ela escreveu: “Apesar de tudo eu ainda creio na bondade humana.” Vivemos num mundo mal e com pessoas maldosas, mas praticar a bondade é revelar Deus presente no mundo, preservando resquícios de sua glória sobre uma humanidade danificada pelo pecado! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lazarinineto/support

Four years after Anne Frank was born in the city of Frankfurt, Germany, Adolph Hitler came to power.  Shortly thereafter, Otto Frank began to have concern for his family.  You see, the Franks were Jewish, and it soon became apparent that Jews did not fit into Hitler's grand scheme for a master race.  Thinking that they were escaping the increasing hatred against the Jews, the family fled to beautiful Amsterdam.

In Part 2 of our story about Anne Frank, we learn about the tireless efforts of Otto Frank to get his family away from Nazi control. After all options failed, they made the decision to go into hiding for the next 25 months. Living in fear everyday, Anne used her diary as an outlet and a way to document what life was like for her within what she called the “Secret Annex”.  After an anonymous tip, the Franks were arrested and sent to the infamous Nazi extermination camps. Otto Frank was the lone survivor of all who spent those two years in hiding and he dedicated his life to honoring his family and bringing Anne's words to life.

Route naar locatie 9 Vanaf het woonhuis van Anne Frank keer je terug naar de hoek Merwedeplein/Waalstraat. Je gaat dan rechtsaf. Voorbij het plantsoen ga je linksaf de Jekerstraat in, die je volgt op het rechter trottoir. In de Jekerstraat woonde in 1943 op nummer 46-2, Ans van Dijk. --- Stem: Job Cohen Productie: Freek Schröder Afbeelding: Anne Frank Stichting (rechts is Anne Frank, 1936) --- Transcript 'Anne Frank' Anne Frank, in 1929 geboren te Frankfurt am Main en in maart 1945 gestorven in het concentratiekamp Bergen-Belsen, woonde hier met haar vader Otto, moeder Edith en haar oudere zusje Margot. 12 juni 1942 kreeg ze voor haar dertiende verjaardag een dagboek cadeau. Haar aantekeningen hierin namen al gauw de vorm aan van brieven aan ‘Kitty'. Het dagboek van Anne werd na de oorlog door Otto Frank gepubliceerd. De familie Frank was van Duits-joodse afkomst. Otto Frank week in 1933, nadat Hitler aan de macht kwam, naar Nederland uit. In Amsterdam trof hij voorbereidingen voor een nieuw bestaan. Vervolgens liet hij zijn gezin overkomen. Anne arriveerde het laatst; ze had een tijd gelogeerd bij haar grootmoeder in Aken. Na het begin van de Duitse bezetting probeerden de Franks zo veel mogelijk het oude leven voort te zetten. Ze schikten zich naar de anti-Joodse maatregelen, die stapsgewijs werden ingevoerd. Op 20 juni 1942 somde Anne een aantal van die maatregelen op in haar dagboek: ‘Joden moeten een Jodenster dragen. Joden moeten hun fiets afgeven. Joden mogen niet meer in auto's rijden. Joden mogen alleen van drie tot vijf uur boodschappen doen en alleen in Joodse winkels, waar ‘Joodslokaal' op staat'. Het breekpunt kwam voor de familie Frank op 5 juli 1942, toen Margot een oproep ontving voor de arbeidsinzet in Duitsland. De volgende dag dook de familie onder in het Achterhuis op de Prinsengracht 263. Op het Merwedeplein staat sinds 2005 een standbeeld van Anne. In 1994 had kunstenaar Jet Schepp het beeld al gemaakt. Dit beeld is toen echter niet in Amsterdam geplaatst maar in Purmerend. Door een handtekeningenactie van boekhandel Jimmink, gevestigd vlakbij het Merwedeplein, is er een grotere versie van het beeld gemaakt dat op het plein is geplaatst. Margot werd door Miep Gies naar het onderduikadres gebracht. Ze gingen met de fiets. Een riskante onderneming, want Joden mochten niet meer fietsen. Margot had de ster van haar kleding verwijderd. De overige drie gezinsleden gingen lopend naar de Prinsengracht. Niet met de tram; die was voor Joden verboden. De kleding die ze dachten nodig te hebben trokken ze aan, in lagen over elkaar. Verder namen ze weinig mee. Met koffers zouden ze teveel opvallen. Miep Gies was er bij toen het gezin zich in de schuilplaats installeerde. Zij kon zich ‘nauwelijks voorstellen wat ze voelden nu ze afstand hadden gedaan van alles wat ze op de wereld bezaten: hun huis, het verzamelde bezit van een mensenleven, Anne's poes Moortje. Souvenirs van het verleden. En vrienden. (…) Ik liet hen maar gauw alleen'.

Route naar locatie 6 Je vervolgt je weg door de Hunzestraat. Je steekt de Uiterwaardenstraat over en slaat bij de Zomerdijkstraat, rechtsaf. Het tweede deel van het huizenblok rechts zijn atelierwoningen. Op nummer 22 woonde de beeldhouwer en verzetsman Gerrit van der Veen. --- Stem: Job Cohen Productie: Freek Schröder Afbeelding: Anne Frank Stichting --- Transcript 'Miep Gies' Miep Gies voorzag de familie Frank, toen de Franks ondergedoken zaten in het Achterhuis aan de Prinsengracht, van voedsel en andere benodigdheden. Na de arrestatie van de bewoners van het Achterhuis, op 4 augustus 1944, ontdekte zij het dagboek van Anne en bracht het in veiligheid. Zij komt onder de naam Miep van Santen in het dagboek voor. In 1933 was Miep in dienst getreden bij een firma die pectine verhandelde, een ingrediënt waarmee huisvrouwen zelf jam konden maken. Dit was de firma van Otto Frank. Met Otto Frank, zijn vrouw Edith en hun dochters Margot en Anne raakte ze al gauw bevriend. Miep had oorspronkelijk de Oostenrijkse nationaliteit. Ze werd in 1909 geboren in Wenen. Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog kwam ze met een groep andere Weense kinderen naar Nederland om aan te sterken. Ze keerde niet naar Oostenrijk terug, maar groeide op bij een Nederlands pleeggezin. Later leerde ze de Amsterdamse gemeenteambtenaar (maatschappelijk werker) Jan Gies kennen, met wie ze in 1941 trouwde.

Eva Schloss en Anne Frank werden allebei in 1929 geboren. Beide zijn Joods, en beide vluchtten met hun familie naar Nederland. Allebei werden gedeporteerd naar de concentratiekampen. Anne Frank naar Bergen-Belsen, Eva Schloss naar Auschwitz. Ze hebben kortom veel met elkaar gemeen. Maar er is één letterlijk levensgroot verschil: Eva overleefde, en Anne niet. Julie Blussé sprak met Eva Schloss voor een tweedelige radioserie. Deze week deel 2: een gesprek over het leven ná Auschwitz. Daarin zou Anne Frank postuum een belangrijke rol spelen, omdat Eva’s moeder met Otto Frank hertrouwde.Vorige week deel 1: een gesprek over hoe Eva Auschwitz overleefde.

Na het Achterhuis vervolgt de zoektocht die Otto Frank zelf is begonnen. Het is een ultieme poging om zo precies mogelijk te reconstrueren wat er met de acht onderduikers is gebeurd na hun arrestatie.Uitgegeven door QueridoSpreker(s): Hymke de Vries

Broodmager was ze in het kamp, op sterven na dood. In alles het contrast van de vileine bakvis die het beroemdste boek over de oorlog schreef, aldus de schrijver van het boek Na het achterhuis, historicus Bas Von Benda-Beckmann. Hij reconstrueerde hoe het Anne Frank en de andere onderduikers in de kampen verging.Eva Schloss was één van hen. Ze maakte in de oorlog hetzelfde mee als Anne Frank: onderduik, arrestatie en deportatie. Ze was een buurmeisje van Anne op het Merwedeplein in Amsterdam, en later zou ze haar stiefzusje worden toen haar moeder na de oorlog trouwde met Otto Frank. Bas Von Benda-Beckmann en Eva Schloss zijn te gast.

Arnold Gutierrez, who goes by the names Xan Frank and ArnoldIsDead, stunned rap fans with a huge inking of the Jewish writer 'the sun news papper' Oct 10, 2017 - Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (German: [anəˈliːs maˈʁiː ˈfʁaŋk], Dutch: [ɑnəˈlis maːˈri ˈfrɑŋk]; 12 June 1929 – February or March 1945)[3] was a German-born Dutch-Jewish diarist. One of the most discussed Jewish victims of the #Holocaust, she gained fame posthumously with the publication of The Diary of a Young Girl (originally Het Achterhuis in Dutch; English: The Secret Annex), in which she documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944, during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. It is one of the world's best known books and has been the basis for several plays and films. #AnneFrank Born in Frankfurt, Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, Netherlands, having moved there with her family at the age of four and a half when the Nazis gained control over Germany. Born a German national, she lost her citizenship in 1941 and thus became stateless. By May 1940, the Franks were trapped in Amsterdam by the German occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the Franks went into hiding in some concealed rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Anne's father, Otto Frank, worked. From then until the family's arrest by the Gestapo in August 1944, she kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly. Following their arrest, the Franks were transported to concentration camps. In October or November 1944, Anne and her sister, Margot, were transferred from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen #concentrationcamp, where they died (probably of typhus) a few months later. They were originally estimated by the Red Cross to have died in March, with Dutch authorities setting 31 March as their official date of death, but research by the Anne Frank House in 2015 suggests it is more likely that they died in February.[3] Otto, the only survivor of the Franks, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that her diary had been saved by his secretary, Miep Gies, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch version and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl, and has since been translated into over 70 languages. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

Recorded live at the Los Angeles Theater, this episode features Erin Gruwell's conversation with Eva Schloss, Holocaust survivor and step-sister of Anne Frank. Eva talks about her friendship with Anne when they were young girls, the terror of living in hiding during the Nazi regime, and the tragedy of being captured and sent to Auschwitz. After Eva was liberated with her mother, their story took a surprising twist when they were reunited with Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father. What followed is a tender story of healing and hope.

Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss shares her extraordinary life story with Michael Berkeley and reveals the music that has brought her comfort, that conjures memories, and that brings her joy. Eva Schloss was born into a happy middle-class Jewish family in Vienna in 1929, but her childhood came to an abrupt end when she was nine and had to flee with her parents and older brother to escape the Nazis. Before going into hiding in Amsterdam Eva's family befriended Anne Frank's family, and after the war, the Frank legacy was to play a large part in her life - Eva's mother married Otto Frank and Eva and her mother worked tirelessly to promote Anne Frank's legacy through her diary. Like the Franks, Eva's family was betrayed, and she and her mother were captured by the Gestapo on her 15th birthday and transported to the Birkenau concentration camp. They were two of only a few prisoners still alive when the camp was liberated in January 1945. Her beloved brother and father did not survive the neighbouring camp of Auschwitz. Somehow Eva learned to live alongside the memories of those terrible years and after the war rebuilt her life in England. Now in her 80s she tours the world spreading her message of reconciliation and hope, and in 2012 she received an MBE for her work with the Anne Frank Trust and other Holocaust charities. Eva's choices of music include Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Strauss, who take her back to her happy Viennese childhood, as well as music by Mahler through which she recalls the pain of her teenage years. Produced by Jane Greenwood. A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.

In 1952, Meyer Levin had every reason to believe he would bring Anne Frank’s diary to the stage. Levin, an American who served as a war correspondent in Europe during World War II, first came across Frank’s diary in a Paris bookshop in 1951. He immediately contacted Frank’s father, Otto, and was instrumental in getting the book published in the United States, and then in attracting the interest of readers, thanks to a glowing review he wrote for the New York Times. Otto Frank granted Levin the rights to adapt the diary for stage, but Levin would never see that dream realized. The production only got as far as a preliminary radio play. It’s hard to pin down why. Some say the Anne Frank that Levin was so moved by—indeed revered—was too Jewish a character for early 1950s American audiences. Others say Levin’s difficult personality and lack of writing ability scuttled the project. Either way, Levin eventually relinquished the stage rights, shunned by Frank and his cohort.

Sir Ben Kingsley has played key roles in several films about the Holocaust, including Simon Wiesenthal, Itzhak Stern, and Otto Frank. Kingsley believes that it is important to confront tragedy in film and art, and that as an actor he is able to be both storyteller and witness.
