Anne Frank, Lootera and Endless Life of Trees

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

On May 18, 2016, students in Islington, north London, gathered to attend a tree-planting ceremony. It had a small plaque explaining that the tree had been planted “in the hope that the young people of Islington will live in a society of mutual understanding and respect for diversity”. The guest of honour was Dr Eva Schloss, an 87-year-old Auschwitz survivor, who saw the horse chestnut as “a symbol of hope”. But it was no ordinary tree. This week, we travel from Amsterdam to Dalhousie, and follow the story of Anne Frank, the meanderings of the Bollywood film Lootera, and what life lessons a solitary chestnut tree holds for us.
