Jehoiada and Jehosheba
One of the most interesting accounts of the Jewish experience in Europe during the years of 1942-1944 is an account written by a young lady named Anne Frank. Her story is one of her entire family hidden in a canal house located in the middle of Amsterdam, a city occupied by the Nazi soldiers and sympathizers. There is some debate on all the truths of the account, but there is no doubt that it is a compelling tale for consideration. As a girl, I remember reading Anne’s journal and imagining the challenges that she and her family faced. For two years they lived undiscovered and undetected in a busy city with the challenge of cooking meals, communicating, and even moving about within the confines of a small living space, without being seen or heard.
