Anne Frank tree blown over - Page 2

They're thinking about placing a new one, last I heard.

Not quite the same, but it carries on the memory.

Do something with the wood from the original tree, now that's a good idea. Wonder if the people over here think of that, might shoot them an e-mail or something.

A great idea

It is a shame but trees die and fall down. It is really necessary to maintain this tree? Or plant another? I am sure that Ann Frank saw a lot of things that are no longer there. I don't think there is any necessity to preserve everything Ann Frank ever saw or wrote about?

Maybe a small plaque would be better?

They're not trying to preserve everything, just a tree.

I honestly don't see the difference between preserving a tree or maintaining a plaque; comes down to the same priciple: something that reminds people.

They have cloned the tree awhile back and were look at using a clone to replace the tree when they discussed if they should remove the tree.

Might be a good solution! Maybe they can keep a portion of the old tree on display somewhere.

I don't know, this sounds a bit over the top for me. Just put any other tree there or some memorial plaque. It isn't the tree that is important but the memory of what happened there.
