  3. EU-oikeudelta erittäin merkittävä päätös ns. Anne Frankin päiväkirjan oikeusjutussa, joka liittyy VPN-yhteyksiin

    Oikeus linjasi siitä, riittääkö maantieteellinen pääsyn rajoittaminen tekijänoikeudella suojattuun materiaaliin säilyttämään teoksen tekijänoikeudet. Ja onko VPN-palvelu vastuussa, jos käyttäjä ohittaa maantieteelliset estot päästäkseen käsiin tekijänoikeudella suojattuun materiaaliin.

  4. To add 35 more years of copyright, the Swiss Anne Frank Fonds declared Otto Frank a "co-author" of the diary he always insisted was Anne's own. He founded the Fonds in 1963 to fund charitable work in Anne's spirit, not this. Recently, the Fonds "argued" that free, scholarly editions of the diary should be banned because VPNs exist. Otto is doing the 360° in his grave.

    The Fonds should not be confused with the Anne Frank Foundation (a.k.a. the Anne Frank House in the Netherlands).

    The good news is that the EU just said no to this and set a precedent for VPNs as legitimate tools and cleared publishers of the guilt when individuals use such tools to circumvent geofences. As the article calls it, this was a move grounded in common sense.

  5. Hard to keep track but I think this is the third time this particular memorial has been defaced.

    "A #mural in #Italy depicting #Holocaust victim and diarist #AnneFrank and #Italian Holocaust survivor and #writer #PrimoLevi was vandalized with #antisemitic graffiti recently, The Algemeiner has learned.

    The mural was created by Italian contemporary #artist #AleXsandroPalombo to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day and is displayed on the wall of the #MontelloBarracks in #Milan. #Frank and #Levi are portrayed seated opposite one another as they both look up to a sky filled with yellow Stars of David. Across the sky is the message: “Memory Is No Longer Enough.” Vandals covered the phrase and painted the words “#ZIONIST #SETTLER #NAZIS.” Levi’s face was also defaced."

  6. "Palestine doesn't exist
    in history," they say.

    Meanwhile, Anne Frank in 1944:

    "Margot wants to become a nurse later on, and then to go to Palestine to work with babies."

    - The Diary of a Young Girl,
    15 July 1944

  7. The Jewish communitiy's continued commitment to the abjectly failed approach of Holocaust education somehow eliminating antisemitism, despite all evidence to the contrary, is wild to me.

    "#Holocausteducation remains essential because it equips new generations to recognise and resist the propaganda, demonisation, and moral distortions that are once again taking hold today. The lessons of the #Holocaust are not merely about protecting #Jews; they are about defending #Westerncivilisation from the return of barbarism. Those seeking to diminish, distort, or silence those lessons are precisely why the story of #AnneFrank remains compulsory learning for every generation.

    To remove Anne Frank from the #classroom is to deny #students an opportunity to confront one of #history’s greatest moral failures and to understand how ordinary people can either enable or resist injustice.

    A society that forgets Anne risks forgetting what made her story necessary in the first place."

  8. The Anne Frank Fund and The Anne Frank Foundation are in disagreement because her Diary is out of copyright in many parts of the EU but not in The Netherlands, and bad people could use a VPN to get round the restriction.

  9. Anne Frank’s relative criticises Netanyahu as “fanatical”

    Oliver Elias, the great cousin of Anne Frank, calls on Jews, Germans and the international community to condemn Israel and its leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, for its war on Gaza.

  11. "For someone like me, it is a very strange habit to write in a diary. Not only that I have never written before, but it strikes me that later neither I, nor anyone else, will care for the outpouring of a thirteen year old schoolgirl."

    ~ Anne Frank, born today, 1929.

  12. Zwei Jahre hielt sie sich mit ihrer Familie vor den Nazis versteckt. Ihr Tagebuch ist ein einzigartiges Dokument des Holocaust. An ihrem Geburtstag, dem 12. Juni, findet seit 2017 jährlich der Anne-Frank-Tag statt – ein bundesweiter Aktionstag gegen Antisemitismus und Rassismus.

  13. Anne Frank (June 12, 1929 – February 1945) for her thirteenth birthday received a diary. She began to write about her life, the people around her, short stories — even a novel.

    She dreamed of becoming a writer.

    War left us only her diary.

    It stole the girl, the books she never wrote, and the life she should have had.

    Heute wäre #AnneFrank 97 Jahre alt geworden. Aber sie mit mit 15 im KZ Bergen-Belsen von den Nazis ermordet.
    „O ja, ich will nicht umsonst gelebt haben wie die meisten Menschen.

    Ich will den Menschen, die um mich herum leben und mich doch nicht kennen, Freude und Nutzen bringen. Ich will fortleben, auch nach meinem Tod.“

  15. On this day in 1942, Anne Frank received her first diary for her 13th birthday. On the cover page, she wrote: 'I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support." When she went into hiding during the Holocaust, her diary was one of the first items she packed.

  17. We are not Nazis. – Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

    Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

    We are not Nazis.

    Also: No Kings, No Dictators.

    By Joyce Vance, Feb 05, 2026

    I wrote this piece, titled “Are We The Nazis Now?” back in October last year. There were so many awful things happening, mostly to immigrants, but by then, some Americans had started to protest their treatment. I was reminded of Anne Frank’s words:

    “Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.”

    –Anne Frank

    For anyone who had ever wondered how the Germans turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, we are living through the answer. We watched it start in real time. “Trump promised he’d deport violent criminals,” I wrote last October. “Instead, ICE is going after legal residents and terrorizing children. The message: if you’re an American citizen, don’t exercise your First Amendment rights unless you want to become a target too.” Unfortunately, those words proved correct.

    I hope you’ll go back and reread the entire piece from October, because it traces what the administration and ICE were doing back then, and although it seems impossible we could ever forget any of it, so much has happened that some of the details get lost. That recent history is essential, because it gives us such a clear picture of the trajectory that has brought us to this moment. In October, ICE had just raided a Chicago apartment building, taking people including kids, outside, some zip tied, in the middle of the night. Immigrants were treated in dehumanizing ways. The administration’s gamble was that not enough Americans would care. It was just “illegals.”

    But Americans were already under fire too. There was the ambulance driver who ICE agents threatened to arrest and to kill, claiming he tried to weaponize his vehicle against them, when he was just there to do his job. The administration was already warming up the engines. There was a long runway before ICE shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

    In my piece, I asked, “We aren’t even better off in the ways Trump promised. Deporting school kids doesn’t make us safer. Americans don’t want the jobs that aren’t being done in immigrants’ absence. The Labor Department warned in ‘an obscure document filed with the Federal Register last week that the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens’ is threatening ‘the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.’

    But beyond the absence of benefits from this administration’s mass deportations, it’s the absence of humanity we see around us that threatens us the most. People who aren’t criminals are thrown to the ground. People are treated with a lack of respect for their basic human dignity. Many of them are hard-working folks who want to be able to love this country and give back because of the opportunity it gives them and their families. Instead, a president who is the son of immigrants and has been married twice to immigrants has become the face of nationalism, using hate and horror to expand his control over people, both American citizens and immigrants, on American soil. Are we the Nazis now?”

    There’s an answer to that question. We are not the Nazis. Definitely not. We’re proud of that. We want people to know.

    From the massive rallies in freezing temperatures in Minneapolis to smaller ones across the country, like the below one in Maine, Americans are giving their answer to that question. We will not turn a blind eye, we will not acquiesce. We will not be Nazis.

    Last Saturday, ABC reported, “Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.” Agents told hospital personnel the man, Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, had tried to flee and had run into a brick wall on purpose. But hospital personnel said his injuries were inconsistent with what ICE claimed.

    Prior to his arrest, the man was fine. Four hours later, he was taken to a hospital emergency room. He had “swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding. A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain.” The reporter asked a board-certified forensic pathologist who worked as a medical examiner in Minnesota for more than 30 years whether she agreed with hospital employees’ conclusions the injuries weren’t the result of an intentional run at a wall. She responded, “one doesn’t have to be a physician to conclude that a person can’t get skull fractures on both the right and left sides of their head and from front to back by running themselves into a wall.”

    One agent subsequently admitted to hospital employees that Castañeda Mondragón, who was arrested the day after Renee Good was killed, “got his (expletive) rocked” after they arrested him.

    When he was first admitted to the hospital, Castañeda Mondragón was reportedly “alert and speaking, telling staff he was ‘dragged and mistreated by federal agents.’” But his condition deteriorated rapidly. By the following week, his condition was described as “minimally responsive and communicative, disoriented and heavily sedated.” Nonetheless, ICE agents insisted on shackling Castañeda Mondragón’s ankles to his bed with handcuffs to keep him from escaping. That despite the fact that he “was so disoriented he did not know what year it was and could not recall how he was injured.”

    Castañeda Mondragón entered the country legally in 2022. He has no criminal history and started a company in Minnesota. Agents only became aware after they arrested him that he had overstayed his visa. A judge ordered his release and he is no longer in ICE custody, but his friends told the reporter he could no longer work and was at, perhaps, 20% of what he had been before. Hospital employees were surprised he was no longer receiving care.

    Federal prosecutors declined to comment on his injuries.

    That’s one more human being, damaged by this administration’s insistence of pursuing quotas and treating people like cattle. What started as a slow trickle is now a gusher, too many people impacted to tell all of their stories. But we should still share the ones we know and counter what the administration is trying to do: Normalize treating people as less than human just because they don’t have legal immigration status in the U.S.

    We are not the Nazis. That means we have an obligation to say watchful and keep protesting. We have to loudly reject the people who are trying to take us there.

    In October I wrote, “What’s certain is this: No matter where Donald Trump wants to take this country, you and I are not going along for the ride. On Friday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the No Kings rally on Saturday was a “hate-America” rally. He said the people attending would be “the pro-Hamas wing” and “the antifa people.” He’s wrong. We are, in the best tradition of America’s Greatest Generation, truly anti-fascist. And in 2025, anti-fascism begins at home, because we love this country and we believe in democracy. We’re ready.”

    On March 28, the third No Kings rally will happen. You can sign up for updates here. Until then, we will continue to let Donald Trump know that we have no intention of letting him turn us into Nazis, that we will block his efforts to take the country there. That’s our job.
