It was wonderful to have some personal insight into the family of Anne Frank. Her cousin gave us information that continues with Otto Frank after the incarcerated inhabitants of the concentration camps are liberated and must start to reconnect and rebuild their lives. One cannot be saddened by the loss of such a bright spirit as Anne Frank being snuffed out before fully living up to her true potential. Mr. Elias gave us all a very special gift in keeping Anne's legacy alive.

Very meaningful and heartfelt presentation about the Frank family by Anne's first cousin, Buddy, and his wife.

Buddy Elias and his wife are dynamic speakers and presented a difficult piece of history through letters and poems written by Otto Frank and their extended family and found in the book Ann Frank's Family (copies of which were available for purchase and signing by Mr. Elias.) I read Ann Frank's Diary as a child and visited the hideout in Amsterdam in my 20's. The evening was very moving and meaningful to me.
