which examines the impact that anne frank's diary's had on the history and understanding of the holocaust. it was 70 years ago on july 6, 1942, that 13-year-old anne frank and her family went into hiding from the nazis in amsterdam. 1944 they were caught and sent to concentration camps. anne frank died in a concentration camp in march 1945 at age 15. >> well, today's the official publication date of the book, so i feel you've all come to celebrate with me. so thank you. i thought i would talk briefly about how the book came to be written and what i had in mind and what i discovered, and then i'll just read you little tiny little snippets from various places in the book and talk about the context from which this snippets come. i -- the book really began about three or four years ago, i think. i had begun writing a book, a novel from the point of view of a 13-year-old girl, and the whole point of reading like a writer, which was mentioned, was that if you're going to write something, you should read something. if you're going to write something, read the best thing about that subject ever w

nobody knew if he was a holocaust survivor.ryone was lored by this man who could get up and sing this song when he was a survivor, everybody was breaking out in tears and was amazing and the next piece i had to get up and sing. what an act to follow. i will go with the piece i was going to sing anyway. this is a gypsy song. [laughter]. free to love and -- [laughter]. i'm thinking this guy is going to walk out of the room and never like me ever again. he doesn't know me but he is going to hate me and remember me as the girl when totally ruinned the moment. [laughter]. i go and you will hear in a minute after this song and he's crying. he's like crying so much that i almost was going to stop but i didn't stop. at the end me got up and everyone was silent and he said, when i was in the concentration camp the only reason i survived is because a gypsy girl came and she would sneak me food in her apron everyday. and i was in love with her. that was the only way i got through. and he said that i looked just like her.

some of you may have seen this because it's -- you can see it at holocaust memorial a description of the little ten-second film clip of anne frank, which exists. i first saw it on the internet and this is the description. a flicker of a home movie, june 20, 1941, the whole thing lasts ten seconds. the bicycle slipping by provide the only indication that we are in holland. the brick apartment block looks like married students housing on an american state campus and the quaint city houses we associate with amsterdam. the camera waits outside a door, peering up a stairwell. in search of something to focus on it pans up the side of a building. in the open windows, neighborhood residents, girls and young women, elbows propped on the sills waiting. the women at the windows alter the look of street so the scene begins to look more like a village in southern europe. the newlywed couple appears arm in arm, the groom in a top hat, cane, formal wear the bride in a flattering pale suit, fedora and gloves, she carries a bouquet. they pause like movie stars avoiding the papparazzi. passersby stari

there is a lot of work done in theology for example after the holocaust, and where was god in the holocaustrabbi and many people have said that god is present in those who risk their lives to resist, and those who hit people, and those who took risks in order to bring holiness into the world, and that is for me at least, the only consolation that i can find is that in those who truly are trying to do good in the world, and people out there who are around us here and a memorial that we see and people saying, we are not going to allow this to define us, the god that we care about is a caring and a good god who comforts us. that is to me, all we can do. but the question is a real question, and it is not a bad question. it is part of who we are. >> certainly is. rabbi, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for coming on the show this morning. i appreciate that. reverend gill caldwell joins me next on more of keeping one's faith in a crisis like this. he experienced this first harnd in columbine when two teenagers massacred students and a teacher here in columbine. last seaso

when iran's leaders deny the holocaust or speak of wiping this nation off the map. only the naive or worse would dismiss it as an excess of rhetoric. make no mistake, the ayatollahs in tehran are testing our moral defenses. they want to know who will object and who will look the other way. my message to the people of israel and the leaders of iran is one and the same. we will not look away. nor will my country ever look away from our passion and commitment to israel. as prime minister put it in haunting words, if the enemy of the jewish people says he seeks to destroy us, believe him. we've seen the horrors of history. we will not stand by. we will not watch them play out again. it would be foolish not to take iran's leaders at their word. they are, after all, the product of a radical theocracy. over the years iran has amassed a brutal and bloody record. it has seized embassies, targeted diplomats, and killed its own people. it supports the ruthless assad regime in syria. they provide the weapons that have killed american soldiers in afghanistan and iraq. it has plo
