In the Neighbourhood of Anne Frank Joey T Van Balen

Just another little detailI started to unravel the ribbons on the bundles of letters my mother left behind in a large dusty and perfume smelling leather suitcase. I've not been able to open and read them for many years, but the time has come now. The case was filled with personal letters, from family and friends. Letters to and from my father, poetry, notes stories and pictures. While I was looking through all her things, the whole picture of this terrible time went through my mind. The thoughts that I had bin trying to suppress and forget........ Facts, stories, poetry, photos, illustrations, tell the story of the peoples dramatic, life-changing experiences. Readers glimpse social customs, family life, Wartime recipes, traditional food and drinks and much more. Life at the time was full of unpleasant surprises. State terrorism and occupation of other states and their peoples is a crime against humanity, and many times it is studiously ignored by other states. It is necessary for the global and national interest to say "stop" and inflict certain reprisals on such states.
