The diary includes a goodbye letter from Anne to van Maarsen. After the war, van Maarsen trained in bookbinding in Paris and became an award-winning bookbinder. She successfully hid her identity as Anne Frank’s best friend for decades, embracing the anonymity of working in her binding studio and using her married name Sanders. After noticing that some individuals were taking advantage of Anne Frank’s story for their own benefit, van Maarsen felt obliged to go public with her identity and \"to write for the one who could no longer write.\" She then reclaimed the van Maarsen name and wrote five books about Anne Frank and the dangers of antisemitism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Head to Tail Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50282048094521,"sku":"000392","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/2697\/2473\/files\/000392_1_ac453d56-076f-40bc-aea6-2a2bf57babad.jpg?v=1734736264"},{"product_id":"the-works-of-francis-parkman-vol-1-13","title":"The Works of Francis Parkman [Vol. 1-13]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitle:\u003c\/b\u003e The Works of Francis Parkman [Vol. 1-13]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Parkman, Francis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublication:\u003c\/b\u003e Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1922.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDescription:\u003c\/b\u003e The works of historian Francis Parkman and a biography of the author, complete in 13 volumes.

In writings and public speeches, he denounced mass removal as 'totalitarian justice.' Thomas was also active in organizational efforts. He circulated a petition calling for immediate hearings for Japanese Americans, and he unsuccessfully pressed the American Civil Liberties Union to take court cases challenging Executive Order 9066... In July 1942 he published the pamphlet, Democracy and Japanese Americans, which laid out in detail the facts behind the 'evacuation' and described the difficult conditions facing Japanese Americans in the assembly centers. The last several pages were devoted to a program to wind up the camps and promote immediate resettlement, including a provision to reimburse the dispossessed Japanese Americans through government grants of land. Thanks to the distribution efforts of the Japanese American Citizens League, plus Thomas's Socialist Party colleagues, the pamphlet enjoyed wide circulation. Its influence was limited, however, by attacks from army officials, who unsuccessfully sought to discredit the information contained in the pamphlet, and from Nisei communist Karl Yoneda, confined at Manzanar, who sent a letter attacking Thomas to the San Francisco Chronicle.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReference: Robinson, Greg. \"Norman Thomas.\" Densho Encyclopedia. 11 Sep 2024, 21:36 PDT.
