402985
well, here is some info. ____Life in the annexe settled down to a monotonous routine. They woke at 06:45a.m. and they all used the bathroom. By 08:30 they all had to be quiet as work began in the warehouse beneath them. Breakfast was served at 09:00 and this was normally eaten in the van Daan's room, on the top floor, where they would least likely be heard. After breakfast all movement was kept to an absolute minimum until 12:30 when the warehouse closed for lunch. At this time, the inhabitants of the annexe had lunch and listened to the BBC. At 14:00 the warehouse reopened and there was silence once again. Between 14:00pm and 17:30 time was spent resting or reading. When the warehouse at 17:30 everyone could move around again and the evening meal was prepared and served. At 21:00 preparations were made to go to bed. At weekends the routine varied, with no welcomed visitors from downstairs and even more need to keep quiet to avoid attracting the slightest attention to what supposed to be an empty building. This routine went on for two years until they were captured in 1944._____\nthey also had to avoid water closet/bathroom during day. and be purely quiet.

Ilsa Koch- Since her husband was also a SS worker at the camp, she would sometimes bring her dogs and have them attack the women prisoners. She was said to ride around on a horse and chose specific prisoners to be gassed, especially those which had elaborate tattoos . \n\nAfter the prisoners were killed, Koch would take their skins and tan and leather them. She collected the human skins, turning them into gloves, lampshades, book covers, furniture in her home and other household and clothing items. \n\nShe was convicted once and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1947, but the sentence was reduced and Koch was released. She was re-arrested in 1949 and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1951. She committed suicide in 1967.  \n\n\nCountess Elizabeth Bathory-Also known as the Blood Countess, this extremely wealthy Hungarian woman tortured servants and apparently bathed in their blood. She thought blood was the key to eternal youth. She killed more than 600 women, both peasants and nobility. Although she was eventually locked up in her castle and her accomplices executed, she couldn't be harmed because of her status.\n\n\nIrma Grese - Irma Grese apparently gave orders to other soldiers asking them to remove the breasts of Jewish and gypsy women in the camps  or to ask that specific women be gased or killed for her so that she could collect their skins. Irma made lampshades, bookcovers, and other household items from the human skins of the prisoners at Auschwitz.\n\nSS Frau Grese was tried during the Belsen trials and sentenced to death by her own testimony.

Joe Schmo had its origin in Frankl's book, which had its origins in Auschwitz. He was an average person and everyone with the face of anyone that didn't stand out.

After Anne Frank's death was confirmed in the autumn of 1945, her diaries and papers were given to Otto Frank by Miep Gies who had rescued them from the ransacked hiding place. He left them unread for some time but eventually began transcribing them and in 1947 the first Dutch edition of the diary was published under the title 'Het Achterhuis'

nope her real name is Franziska Schanzkowska and the officals identified her as NOT being anastasia R.\n\nhere's a quote from a man who wrote a book about anna anderson\n\n"Remembering Anna Anderson\nJohn Godl\nNo pretender in the modern history of monarchy has created as much controversy as Anna Anderson, born Franziska Schanzkowska in Pomerania in 1896. The unstable 24 year old factory worker abruptly disappeared in 1920. Until pulled from the Landwehr Canal in Berlin shortly afterwards in a failed suicide attempt, and committed to the Dalldorf Asylum she refused to tell authorities her identity until 18 months later when she declared herself the Grand Duchess Anastasia."

The country side is green with wild red poppies growing, if you are by the coast it is rocky and chilly. You can eat stews with beef and vegetables, loads of spuds (potatoes) and drink a glass of beer at the local pub or drink a nice shot of whiskey or scotch to warm you on a cold day. \n\nThere are old Castle ruins and stone bridges and pathways.\n\nFoods like; Bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes) Haggis, cocka-leaky soup (potato and leak)and kippers,(salted fish), and black pudding (blood sausage) rich puddings with brandy cream sauce or custard.\n\nEdinburgh is where my family originated and it is a lovey quaint City. It has the Castle on the hill up the old mile road in town and it's a great mixture of old meets new. \n\nI loved my visit and my German mother and my daughter have been for a few visits and loved it.\n\nScottish people are kind heart and genuine. You know where you stand and they are hospitable. \n\nA day consists of eating breakfast with family, going of the work, school or shopping, a chat with family or friends, then lunch, next you might see the sights, and lastly go to the local pub for a chat and drink before toddling of home. You would eat a meal with your family around a table or have a meal on your lap while watching your favourite TV show. Serials are popular and music and tartan is a must and all family gatherings and parties.

This is an educated guess.  I believe they interacted with their ladies-in-waiting a lot, did needlework, some were even a little bit educated so perhaps they studied what women did in those days, some reading of religious material, whatever the church thought appropriate at that time.  If they had a person to run their castle/home consulted with head of the overseer to look at menus, if it was a hands on queen or just tell the overseer all the things they wanted if it was a hands off queen.  Possibly walk on the grounds, looking at gardens.  Probably spent a good hour or two  just putting on her clothes and arranging her hair(servants doing most of the work).  Also they had meals, which was probably 2 or 3  hours a day

This is indeed a question researchers have pondered for decades. There is a substansial amount of evidence that Mrs. Claus was formerly known as Adele von Hoerrneman from the royal Baltic-Prussian family of Herrenhausen. \n\nMs. Hoerrneman was not a member of the royal family, but a beautiful servant girl for the family, probably brought in from the French-Prussian area called Lustasia during the second war of Schleiswig. The Herrenhausen Royal Family resided in a 65 room castle on Lake Masch near Heilbronn, in what is now Germany, from approximately 1400 to 1846. \n\nRumors of magic/wizardry in their family persisted all the way up until the final family member (Baron Ulf Bernard III, his great-grandmother was a Herrenhausen) died in Omsk, Siberia in 1846 while traveling. The story that most of the Herrenhausen family (especially the women) were toy-makers (known as "Spielzeughersteller") is not a rumor and has been verified as fact. \n\nHow the servant girl known as Adele von Hoerrneman became Mrs. Santa Claus is the most debatable story. If anyone has information on this please post it here.

Stuart Mackenzie:   Well, it's a well known fact, Sunny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentaveret, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows. \n\nTony Giardino:   So who's in this Pentaveret? \n\nStuart Mackenzie:   The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went t*ts up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with his wee *beady* eye! And that smug look on his face, "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"

I'm reading the book now.  It is about a supposed secret society that protected the secret that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalen and had a son.  The artist da vVnci was supposed to have been a member of that secret society, and hid clues about it in his paintings.\n\nRemember, it is a work of fiction.  Not a bad read, and makes you think, but still fiction.

It is a story about a young boy who is sent to a concentration camp in WWII by the Nazis and how he endures and manages to live through it all. It is a story about the Holocaust. It is brief and is an excellent read. READ it.\n\nGood luck.

Anne told everybody that she wanted to publish her diary after the war and become a writer. When the annex was raided by the Nazis and the Gestapo, Miep saved the diary to give it to Anne when she returned. Since Anne died in a concentration camp, Miep gaved it to her father, Otto. Otto then got it published and it was soon translated into more than 55 languages and it's widely read all around the world.

Know one knows to this day for certain who betrayed. Speculation of course is that those under the hiding place had heard noises, found the door, speculations about a man who had known of the secret annex all along, a person, but not a friend, who knew the Franks. Apparantly for monetary reward. Also I believe a cleaning woman who regularly cleaned the offices below the annex is thought to have betrayed them.\n\nA good link regarding this: http://www.auschwitz.dk/Miepgies.htm

With published articles, well i am not sure i can do that, but this will give you an idea on where to look.\n\nJews used to feel comfortable, almost all of the time, wherever they lived after the Enlightenment. They felt that they were a part of the political scene, held offices of importance in the Government and in the Society. The Jews of Germany certainly felt that they had 'made it,' into German society. After the Holocaust the Jews realized that no matter how IN to the society they seemed to be, antisemitism was there, under the surface or out in the open, and there was always going to be a nervousness, a fear that It CAN Happen Here, that the Jews felt as a result.
