| has gloss | eng: The Anne Frank tree (Dutch: Anne Frankboom ) is the horse-chestnut tree in the city center of Amsterdam that was featured in Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl". Anne Frank described the tree from The Annexe, the building where she and her family were hiding from the Nazis during World War II. The tree is estimated between 150 and 170 years old, and for the past several years it has been battling both a fungus and a moth infestation. The Borough Amsterdam Centrum declared that the tree had to be cut down on 20 November 2007 due to the risk that it could otherwise fall down, but on 21 November 2007 a judge issued a temporary injunction stopping the removal. Second opinion analysis by the Dutch Tree Foundation has shown that there exists no acute danger of collapse. The Foundation and the neighbours developed an alternative plan to save the tree. The neighbours and supporters formed the Foundation Support Anne Frank Tree which carried out the suggested supporting construction and took over the maintenance of the tree. |
