POPSHotel De Roode Leeuw Amsterdam I'm trying to find a decent, central and not too expensive hotel. This one looks ok and quite inexpensive for a 4-starred hotel! Any suggestion for a first trip to Holland? Ciao

POPS13 Things You Won't Believe Are Against the Law Somewhere Pt 1 I keep trying to limit myself and curb my tendency to do multi-part clips... well, I failed again. Another great posting on Cracked.Com and yes these laws are true! If it was not so damned funny I'd just clip the pictures and the titles.

POPSAnne Frank Postcard Found Such a sad story of this poor girl, but it is amazing how her history has lived on. I hope her life story will remind people of the horrors of fascism and our need to be ever vigilant of tyrants in any land, even from Texas.

POPSFrench 'Anne Frank' And she notes how the military managed to combine savagery with impeccable manners: "Why does the German soldier I pass in the street not slap me, not insult me? They don't even see the illogical incomprehension there is in holding the Metro door for me and maybe tomorrow deporting me." As the end of the war approaches, Hélène's words become less refined: "The Germans have one aim, to exterminate. People are speaking about suffocating gas that they use on the convoys which arrive at the Polish frontier. They are rumours but there must be some truth in them." Soon after her last entry (Feb 14, 1944), Hélène, her mother Antoinette and father Raymond were forced on to a train and taken to their deaths at Bergen-Belsen.

POPSTop10 dystopian novels for teenagers Gemma Malley is the author of The Declaration, a futuristic, dystopian novel set in a world in which there are drugs which stop the onset of ageing and there's no room left in the world for youth. With death no longer inevitable, children become an abomination and those that are accidentally born must live locked away in a borstal-like Surplus Hall. It is published by Bloomsbury.

POPSVietnam & Iraq "We were learning in our school today All about a country far away, Full of lovely temples painted gold, Modern cities, jungles ages old. And the people are so pretty there, Shining smiles, and shiny eyes and hair . . . Then I had to ask my teacher why War was making all those people die. They’re so pretty, so pretty. Then my teacher said, and took my hand, “They must die for peace, you understand.” But they’re so pretty, so pretty. I don’t understand." "This is exactly the mentality I was brought up with, concerning Vietnam. It took a while to discover the truth: I guess I was in my late teens. I was also well familiar with a famous poster: 'War Is Dangerous for Children and Other Living Things.' Uh-huh: It turned out that the longed-for Communist “peace” was far more dangerous to children and other living things. Which, by the way, was more dangerous for Anne Frank? War or 'peace'?"
