Yep, you heard it. On August 23rd of 2010, after fighting both a fungus and moth infection, the horse-chestnut tree that Anne Frank often wrote about in her diary fell during a storm. Here's an excerpt:

"18th April 1944:

April is glorious, not too hot and not too cold, with occasional light showers. Our chestnut tree is in leaf, and here and there you can already see a few small blossoms."

Also back in January 11th 2010, Miep Gies, a dutch woman who helped hide the Franks died about one month shy of her 101st birthday. Tell how you think about this.

wow loco, harshness, but that seems like a good premise for another boo, wait, a DIARY!!!!!!!! today that nazi guy ripped another page from that diary, and again tried to light the tree on fire with it, i don't know if he realizes that its a huge tree, and its going to take alot more than a diary to light the tree on fire. not mention, when the ghoost of anne frank hears about this shes gunna get good and mad, and all like whoooOOoooooOOOoooOOOooOOOooOOooOO. all up in this bizzie

Well i view Anne Franks diary/story as a classic fairytale, you have the evil power or evil witch the Nazi's and you have the trapped princess the jews/Anne.

How could Ben believe that Anne Frank's diary was a fairy tale?! Or is he just using it as a metaphor?

So the sake of argument and i dont belive this but im saying it anyway, some people belive that the holocuast never happened so maybe it didnt happen.
