Workers prop up a chestnut tree that once comforted Anne Frank in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Thursday, April 10, 2008. Under a plan approved in January, the tree, which has a lethal fungus, is being trimmed and encased in a large steel tripod, with rings around its base and the trunk 25 feet from the ground. The tree stands in a courtyard behind The Anne Frank House museum, which includes the tiny apartment where the Jewish teenager and her family hid from the Nazis for 25 months during World War II. Anne Frank referred to the tree several times in her diary. She could see it through the attic skylight, the only window that was not blacked out. The family was betrayed and deported, and Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945. (AP Photo/ Evert Elzinga) ORG XMIT: AMS117
