Fishman); (2) "The Uniqueness of the Holocaust" (Alex Grobman); (3) "Anne Frank's World" (Elma Verhey); (4) "Anne Frank and the Dutch Myth" (Elma Verhey); (5) "A New Perspective on Helpers of Jews During the Holocaust: The Case of Miep and Jan Gies" (Dienke Hondius); (6) "Teaching the Holocaust through the Diary of Anne Frank" (Judith Tydor Baumel); (7) "Examining Optimism: Anne Frank's Place in Postwar Culture" (Alex Sagan); (8) "Dutch Jewry: An Historical Overview"; and (9) "Chronology of the Frank Family and the Families in the Secret Annex."
