In a number of countries, including the USA, Spain and Mexico, the copyright on the diaries of Anne Frank has not yet expired. Therefore, unfortunately, the Anne Frank video diary series cannot be seen there.

Anne films herself

Anne Frank video diary follows Anne Frank from 29 March 1944 onwards. She is 14 years old and has been living in hiding for over a year and a half, together with her parents Otto and Edith, sister Margot, Auguste and Hermann van Pels, their son Peter, and Fritz Pfeffer. Anne films herself and the events in the Secret Annex, looks back on the time before they went into hiding, talks about the war, and shares her deepest thoughts and feelings. The video diary ends on 4 August 1944, when Anne and the seven other people from the Secret Annex, as well as two of their non-Jewish helpers, are arrested.

Nine languages

Anne Frank video diary consists of fifteen episodes and can be seen in over 60 countries on youtube.com/annefrank. The video series is in Dutch, with subtitles in German, English, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Education

We made educational episodes to accompany seven of the fifteen episodes of Anne Frank video diary. The educational episodes explain and elaborate on what can be seen in the video diaries.

In this activity, primary school pupils fold their own workbooks and answer viewing and thinking questions that are linked to the Anne Frank video diary and the additional educational episodes.

Most people attribute Germany's Bauhaus school with the following: being on the vanguard of minimalist design, the paring down of architecture to its most essential and non-ornamental elements, and the radical idea that useful objects could also be beautiful. What may be overlooked is the fact that the rigorous design school, founded by modernism's grandsire Walter Gropius, also put on marvelous costume parties back in the 1920s. If you thought Bauhaus folk were good at designing coffee tables, just have a look at their costumes-as bewitching and sculptural as any other student project, but with an amazing flamboyance not oft ascribed to the movement.

These Bauhaus shindigs were nothing like typical Halloween parties, where everyone expects to find a few topical doppelgängers. Back in Weimar, competition among the creatives was fierce: Students and teachers like artists Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Piet Mondian, László Moholy-Nagy, architect Mies van der Rohe, and furniture designer Marcel Breuer all tried to out-do one another by designing uniquely fantastical creations.

According to Farkas Molnár, the late Hungarian architect who was a Bauhaus student in the early '20s, the school's renowned typography studios and cabinet-making workshops were taken very seriously, but "the greatest expenditures of energy, however, go into the costume parties."

"The essential difference between the fancy-dress balls organized by the artists of Paris, Berlin, Moscow, and the ones here at the Bauhaus is that our costumes are truly original," Molnár wrote in a 1925 essay entitled "Life at the Bauhaus." "Everyone prepares his or her own. Never a one that has been seen before. Inhuman, or humanoid, but always new. You may see monstrously tall shapes stumbling about, colorful mechanical figures that yield not the slightest clue as to where the head is. Sweet girls inside a red cube. Here comes a witch and they are hoisted high up into the air; lights flash and scents are sprayed," he continued.

The parties began as improvisational events, but later grew into large-scale productions with costumes and sets made by the school's stage workshop. There was often a theme to the evenings. One party was called "Beard, Nose, and Heart," and attendees were instructed to show up in clothing that was two-thirds white, and one-third spotted, checked or striped. However, it's generally agreed that the apotheosis of the Bauhaus' costumed revelry was the Metal Party of 1929, where guests donned costumes made from tin foil, frying pans, and spoons. Attendees entered that party by sliding down a chute into one of several rooms filled with silver balls.

The theater workshop responsible for many of these resplendent events was led by Oskar Schlemmer, a charismatic painter and choreographer best known for his Triadic Ballet, an avant-garde dance production that premiered in 1922. The three-part play with different colors and moods for each act was widely performed throughout the 1920s, and became something of a poster child for the Bauhaus movement.

The Triadic Ballet's 18 costumes were designed by matching geometric forms with analogous parts of the human body: a cylinder for the neck, a circle for the heads. Schlemmer made no secret of the fact that he considered the stylized, artificial movements of marionettes to be aesthetically superior to the naturalistic movements of real humans. These elaborate costumes, which were generally too large for their wearers to sit down in, totally upped the ante at the Bauhaus school's regular costume balls.

Although there aren't many photos of Bauhaus luminaries wearing the costumes they labored over in the name of socializing, thankfully Farkas Molnár has chronicled some of their style proclivities:

"Kandinsky prefers to appear decked out as an antenna, Itten as an amorphous monster, Feininger as two right triangles, Moholy-Nagy as a segment transpierced by a cross, Gropius as Le Corbusier, Muche as an apostle of Mazdaznan, Klee as the song of the blue tree," Molnár wrote in 1925. "A rather grotesque menagerie..."

Walter Gropius used to dress up as Le Corbusier? It doesn't really get better than that.

Make this fruit tart recipe covered with streusel using fresh or canned fruit, such as apricots, peaches, cherries, etc. A delicious German treat, just like your Oma used to make.

Above, it's made with canned peaches (Pfirsich-Streuseltarte) and below it's made with apricots (Aprikosen-Streuseltarte). Any way you make it, it's a quick and easy dessert!

It tastes great warm or cold, especially when topped with whipped cream!

If you like streusel, you'll really love this tart. Why? Because the whole tart is made of streusel! Half is pressed into the bottom of the tart pan, then fruit is put on top.

Over the fruit, you sprinkle the rest of the streusel. Easy? You bet!

"Streusel" comes from the German word "streuen" which means to sprinkle or scatter

Streusel is traditionally a crumbly mix of 1 part butter, 1 part sugar, and 2 parts flour

Streusel usually tops muffins, pies, and cakes giving a sweet crunch

Chopped nuts and spices can be added to the streusel

WARNING: Streusel tastes so good raw as well as baked, it's easy to sneak some off the cake before serving ... keep an eye on hubby, the kids and yourself if you want to have the cake covered with streusel when you serve it ;)

Tips on Making this Cake:

Use either fresh or well-drained canned fruits.

If using fresh apricots: To make peeling apricots easier, cut an "X" in apricots. Dip them in boiling water for several seconds and then into cold water. Peel and cut in half, removing pits.

For a different flavor, you can add ¼ lb of chopped candied ginger to the crumb mixture. Delicious!

Oma says,
Again the warning when making streusel cakes: the streusel tastes so-o-o-o good that it's easy to eat the topping before it's baked or as it's sitting cooling on the rack.
