What were the information resources for the Anne Frank Diary Reference?
See the resources page. Also, the
bottom of almost every page lists resources specific to that page.
Who built and maintains this site? Please list name(s), profession(s), and email(s).
Just me, Suzanne Morine. I am an unemployed software engineer.
I also have a generic 'about' page.
(Also a quick thanks here to
for a painting for the "last" photos page.)
How long and how intensely have you studied Anne Frank and her life?
I have studied Anne Frank from time to time, in my spare time, over about
eight years. When I started, in 1992, I was very interested and the
information
gathering was intense. I was specifically interested in making her story
more real to me, realizing the facts.
What are your reasons for putting your notes on the Web?
I am putting
my organization of information on the Web because otherwise it is
just sitting
on my shelf. I had organized it in ways helpful to me and I figured it may
be helpful to others.
Have you read all of Anne Frank's works?
(both her diary and her collection of short stories and essays)
I have read all of Anne's writing (translated to English) that I
could get my hands on.
Do you recommend other Web sites for further information on Anne Frank?
What's up with the ads? Do you make money off of this
site?
The ads in the corner let
Yahoo! Geocities host this
site for free. Likewise,
the banner ads on the search results pages pay for
the free FreeFind
service on this site. For the small amount of
traffic this site gets, and the little amount of
space it uses, using free services makes the most sense.
However, you can donate below. In answer to your question, so far: no one
has.
Regarding the ads: if you have images turned off,
you might not realize that you can get rid of an ad square by clicking it in the
very upper right hand corner. (Ad squares are perhaps better than banner ads.)
Also, they use timeouts, which can
bog a browser down. If you ever find that a page stops loading or that your
links cease being active, you're surfing too fast
for what they're doing: restart the browser and turn off JavaScript/scripting.
Please answer these questions soon!
1. Was Miep Gais a good helper,
helping out the people in the secret annex? Please explain.
2. In what ways did she risk her life for the Franks and
the other people in the attic?
3. Was she an influence on the people in the annex? Please
explain?
(Believe it or not, this person denied that they were asking me to do their school
assignment. Wow, they're so interested in what I think, huh?)
You don't need my help. If you do your own assignment, then you can be proud of
doing it yourself and the grade you get for the effort. Sure, use this site to get
information, and other resources, and still more that
you may find in your library and bookstore. That's what they are there for.
And think for yourself.
Why can't I watch the moving pictures in the morning?
Large files are not available during weekdays,
.
I am trying this restriction to see whether I can keep the site open during
weekday mornings, when there is a lot of site traffic.
When there is too much
site traffic, Geocities shuts down the site for an hour, shutting out everyone, from
the casual to the scholarly. It seems as if the site started
getting shut down when I added the movies, so restricting their access could keep
the site open during school peak times. The movie files (and the proofs pages) also are
very large files yet not very important. The restriction might work out better for
movie-viewers anyway: during off peak times when your ISP is less busy,
things download quicker.
