Coming High School Play
Based on Real Life Story
"The Diary of Anne Frank,'
to be presented February 26-
27 by the senior class of Med-
iora nign school, is no piece
of fiction. The play is based
on the day-by-day diary of a
young Jewish girl who, with
her family, lived in hiding in
the attic of a warehouse in
Amsterdam for 25 months.
The diary recounts the hours
of fear and dread which even
tually ended in the Franks
being found and arrested by
the Nazis. The play is an ex
citing and fearful story of
real life..
The Franks were an old
German-Jewish family. Otto
Frank, Anne's father, was
born and grew up in Frank
furt am Main. He was grad
uated from school and went
into business. After the out
break of World War I he was
assigned to an artillery com
pany and was eventually pro
moted in the field to the rank
of lieutenant. After the war
he returned to Frankfort
where he specialized in bank
ing and the promotion of
brand-name goods. He mar
ried Edith Hollander of Aach
en, who died in Auschwitz in
1945. :
Otto Frank was born a Jew
and a German, and as long as
it was honorable to do so,
and possible for him to be a
German, he served Germany.
He was never a Nationalist -he
had God and Fatherland,
but was left with only God.
The Franks left Germany
after the issuance of the de
cree that Jewish children
could no longer attend the
same schools as non-Jewish
children. The news came that
Hitler had become chancel
lor, and later came the ac
count of the storm troopers'
torch parade in Berlin. The
Franks left Frankfort in the
summer of 1933. Otto Frank
went directly to Holland to
seek a new means of liveli-
tem-
her
hood, while Mrs. Frank
porarily remained with
mother in Achen, keeping the
children with her.
Anne Frank's existence
from 1933 to 1942 was just a
normal life -friends and
carefree schooldays. The hap
py times continued until
1942, although the German
invasion of The Netherlands
had come on May 10, 1940,
and although the avalanche
of anti-Jewish laws started 53
days later. The people of Am
sterdam did everything they
could to shield the many Jew
ish children in their midst as
long as possible Then in July,
1942, the Franks had to go in
to hiding.
Couple Visits
Historic Spots
On Trip North
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Leach,
1228 Corona avenue, have re
turned to Medford after a
motor trip north. The Leaches
visited their daughter, Miss
Beverly Leach, a hospital tech
nician in Eugene, and then
motored to the coast and up
to Astoria. With Oregon's at
tention focused on history be
cause of the Centennial year,
Mr. and Mrs. Leach made an
effort to see points of histor
ical interest. They made stops
at Fort Clatsop and Fort Stev
ens, and in Astoria visited the
Astor column.
In Portland they , were
guests of Mr. Leach's mother,
Mrs. Lillian Eickhoff, and one
day drove to Oregon City to
visit the home of the pioneer
resident, John McLoughlin,
which is preserved in its orig
inal state.
En route south they also vis
ited Champoeg State park.
While in Portland Mrs.
Leach also saw the Van Gogh
exhibit at the Portland Art
Museum.
Note for apple-lovers: grate
a fresh, tart apple into whole
or strained cranberry sauce
to serve with favorite chick-en-every-Sunday.
