Some 135,000 men from the First Canadian Army, with 90,000 British and Polish troops, fought their way up the Scheldt River to open the shipping route to Antwerp. The port was used to supply Allies in northwest Europe and bring food to many local people, some of whom had been surviving by eating tulip bulbs.

Some 6,387 Canadians died in the When Stolk discussed a way to honour Canadians who had given their lives, he and fellow board members discovered realtor John Stobbe had two years previously met with Sebastian son of the late celebrated artist Pieter met Sebastian at his gallery in Utrecht, where his statue of Anne Frank is on Stobbe said. contacted Sebastian and he agreed to do one more recast from the Anne Frank mould. There is a small handful of them in the Anne Jewish family had fled to Amsterdam from Germany when she was four years old and Adolf persecution of Jews was gathering speed.

But Hitler invaded neutral Holland in 1940 and Jews were soon required to wear a yellow star, forbidden to use street cars, ride in their own cars, and to go to theatres and movies. In June 1942, on 13th birthday, it was announced all sport, including swimming, tennis and soccer, was prohibited to Jews. Later, all Jews had to hand over their bicycles and walk in the gutter, not the sidewalk. On her birthday, Anne was presented with a colourful autograph book sh had spo tt ed a nd had immediately fallen in love with. It was to become her diary.

But she had only 23 days before her entire family went into hiding in an annex at her businessman building.

Frank was hopeful when they heard on British radio waves the Allies had landed in Normandy. She wanted to be a writer and her diary shows promising talent. greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and reads some of her musings.

people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than she wrote. No one knows who tipped the Gestapo, but on Aug. 4, 1944, the annex was raided and Frank found herself on a train bound for Westerbork, a transit camp in northern Holland. Hope was again high on Aug. 23, 1944, when word went around that American troops had taken Paris and had begun liberating France.

But on Sept. 3, 1944, Anne was among 1,019 prisoners jammed into cattle-cars with no room to sit. They were in total darkness for days except for light that came through metal bars covering small ventilation holes. There was a stench from a corner waste bucket and from people unable to reach it. The prisoners disembarked at Auschwitz, a complex of more than 40 concentration and extermination camps where some 1.1 million people were killed between 1940 and 1945.

Frank, later covered by lice, mites and bedbugs, was sent to a scabies ward where rats and mice scampered over patients at night. On. Oct. 28, 1944, she was sent to the disease-ridden Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany and became one of 35,000 prisoners who died during a typhus outbreak in early 1945. Her father Otto Frank survived the camps and a friend gave him diary notes she had found in the annex.

Supporters have raised $15,000 toward the $75,000 needed to create and bring the sculpture here.
