I'm new to the group; thanks to Lynne Coane Brofman. Thanks
for the invite. Love seeing all the photos, and the familiar. My grandparents
The Shippers from Berkeley Avenue owned Stacy Laundry, and Sanitary Linen
Supply on Ward Avenue. My Savannah connection is my late Aunt Charlotte Shipper
Garfunkel who moved to Savannah after her marriage. My gazillion cousins are
all still there. The connection between my family and so many of the posted
photos is simply awesome. My brother, Michael Miller, and I are the children of
Selma Shipper Miller, and Dr. Joseph Miller of Sanhican Drive. "GO BLACK

Anne
Frank (June 1929 – c. February or March 1945)[1] was a German-born Jewish girl
who kept a diary documenting her life in hiding amid Nazi persecution during
the German occupation of the Netherlands. A celebrated diarist, Frank described
everyday life from her family's hiding place in an Amsterdam attic. She gained
fame posthumously and became one of the most-discussed Jewish victims of the
Holocaust with the 1947 publication of The Diary of a Young Gir.
On the
morning of Monday, 6 July 1942, the Frank family moved into their hiding place,
a three-story space entered from a landing above offices , where some of Otto
Frank's most trusted employees would be their helpers. This hiding place became
known as the "Secret Annex." Their apartment was left in a state of
disarray to create the impression that they had left suddenly, and Otto left a
note that hinted they were going to Switzerland. As Jews were not allowed to
use public transport, Otto, Edith, and Anne walked several kilometres from
their home.
On the
morning of 4 August 1944, the Secret Annex was stormed by a group of German
uniformed police (Grüne Polizei) . The Franks, Van Pelses, and Pfeffer were
taken to RSHA headquarters, where they were interrogated and held overnight. On
5 August, they were transferred to the Huis van Bewaring (House of Detention),
an overcrowded prison on the Weteringschans. Two days later they were
transported to the Westerbork transit camp, through which more than 100,000
Jews, mostly Dutch and German, had passed. Having been arrested in hiding, they
were considered criminals and sent to the Punishment Barracks for hard labour.
Anne died the next year at age 15.
Primo
Levi suggested Anne Frank is frequently identified as a single representative
of the millions of people who suffered and died as she did because "One
single Anne Frank moves us more than the countless others who suffered just as
she did but whose faces have remained in the shadows. Perhaps it is better that
way; if we were capable of taking in all the suffering of all those people, we
would not be able to live."[132] In her closing message in Müller's
biography of Anne Frank, Miep Gies expressed a similar thought, though she
attempted to dispel what she felt was a growing misconception that "Anne
symbolizes the six million victims of the Holocaust", writing:
"Anne's life and death were her own individual fate, an individual fate
that happened six million times over. Anne cannot, and should not, stand for
the many individuals whom the Nazis robbed of their lives... But her fate helps
us grasp the immense loss the world suffered because of the
Holocaust."[138]
Otto
Frank spent the remainder of his life as custodian of his daughter's legacy,
saying, "It's a strange role. In the normal family relationship, it is the
child of the famous parent who has the honour and the burden of continuing the
task. In my case the role is reversed." He recalled his publisher's
explaining why he thought the diary has been so widely read, with the comment,
"he said that the diary encompasses so many areas of life that each reader
can find something that moves him personally".[139] Simon Wiesenthal
expressed a similar sentiment when he said that the diary had raised more
widespread awareness of the Holocaust than had been achieved during the
Nuremberg Trials, because "people identified with this child. This was the
impact of the Holocaust, this was a family like my family, like your family and
so you could understand this."
In
June 1999, Time magazine published a special edition titled "Time 100: The
Most Important People of the Century". Anne Frank was selected as one of
the "Heroes & Icons", and the writer, Roger Rosenblatt, described
her legacy with the comment, "The passions the book ignites suggest that
everyone owns Anne Frank, that she has risen above the Holocaust, Judaism,
girlhood and even goodness and become a totemic figure of the modern world—the
moral individual mind beset by the machinery of destruction, insisting on the
right to live and question and hope for the future of human beings." He
notes that while her courage and pragmatism are admired, her ability to analyse
herself and the quality of her writing are the key components of her appeal. He
writes, "The reason for her immortality was basically literary. She was an
extraordinarily good writer, for any age, and the quality of her work seemed a
direct result of a ruthlessly honest disposition."

I had mentioned that
I played high school basketball (Pennsbury) against Ronnie Bash (Delhaas)
Ronnie was an excellent player who I believe went on to play basketball in
college - small but very quick!
United States’ Doubles Its Eligible Voters, 1920
The women's suffrage movement was sparked by the First
Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848. The movement was a
mass effort that involved several generations of women and employed
sophisticated political strategy and organization.
Even after the 19th Amendment was ratified, many women
remained unable to vote due to discriminatory laws.

I just read the comments by Dan Senor and I usually let other people's words pass me by, but not this time. As much as I would like to think there was an answer to solve the challenges Jews face in the world at this time I do not. As long as Iran's leadership is in charge there will never be peace! Iran is the responsibility for Gaza, all the other groups whose names we see in the news and are just smoke. In the present climate no agreement or assurance is worth the paper it is printed on and is just a way to placate the world order so they can plan another way to destroy Isreal. (my opinion)
