|
|
The chestnut tree that comforted Anne Frank as she hid from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II has won a reprieve from being felled.
Amsterdam city council ruled in March that the rotting 150-year-old tree must be felled as a danger to the public.
Following protests the council has given those who want to save the tree until January to come up with a plan.
The tree was a ray of hope for the famous diary writer as she hid in the attic of the canal-side warehouse.
The Jewish teenager remained indoors with her family for 25 months until they were arrested in August 1944.
She died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen camp in March 1945.
=============================
It wont help things if the tree falls on top of her house. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |
