Franklin Delano Roosevelt

By Frankie 

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the longest serving president of the United States. He was a governor of New York. A senator of New York. And a. Key role model in the United States history. 

 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born January 30th, 1882, in Hyde Park New York. His mother was Sara Ann Roosevelt his father who died in 1900 was James Roosevelt 1. His mother and father were 6th cousins. Franklin had a half-brother named James rosy Roosevelt. When he was young, he learned to sail. When he was 16 is father gave him a sailboat. 

Except for attending public school in Germany at the age of nine he was mostly home schooled. Until he turned 14, he then attended Harvard and got an ab in history then he went to. Groton boarding school in Massachusetts. But then in 1900 Roosevelts father died. In 1905 franklin married Eleanor his fifth cousin once removed. 

Senator of New York 

Roosevelt held little passion for the practice of law and confided to friends that he planned to eventually enter politics. Despite his admiration for his cousin Theodore. Franklin inherited his father's reputation with the Democratic Party. But Theodore was a major role model. Assistant secretary of the navy in 1913 Roosevelt became assistant secretary of the navy in 1917. He was very helpful at motivating the navy sailors. And he was it for. Quiet a long time. Until the end of world war I.  

In 1920 he had a campaign for vice president he lost. In 1921 he caught polio and it paralyzed his legs for the rest of his life. In 1929 he was elected governor of New York. 

First term 

In 1933 he was elected the 32nd president of the United States. In 1933 he stopped the distribution of gold coins to the public, and all were melted down into gold bars. Except for a few that were saved. And that helped the U.S through the great depression. In 1933 he created the new deal program. 

Second term 

 In 1936 he set the new deal program into its second phase. And made a bunch of speeches. But kept a close eye on the advancements and moves other countries were making. But kept a caution about Germany. But in 1939 Germany invaded Poland. 

Third term 

In his third term everyone was surprised with a third campaign for election. When he won, he set the record for longest serving president. The beginning of hi 3rd term was quiet settle but in December 1941 japan attacked Hawaii and not even a week later he declared war on japan and Germany. And that sent the greater majority of the Japanese American Heritage. Into internment camps. 

Fourth term 

After the Yalta conference was quite unstable and he had had declining health since at least 1940. They ran some blood tests, and he was found to have high blood pressure and his heart was failing.  And there was no cure. 

 Death and remembrance 

On, April 12, 1945, in warm springs Georgia he said, “I have a terrific headache”. And not long after he died. He did lots of great things in his life. Today he is remembered by many memorials, and you should see his face every day on the dime.  

And that concludes my FDR bistro presentation. In my opinion He was one of the greatest U.S presidents he has over 100 written works about him and. Is known for being the longest serving president of the United States. He is on the dime. 

 

 

Anne Frank

by Maizy P.

My name is Maizy, for the Biography Bistro I chose a good person, at least in my opinion, I chose Anne Frank. I chose this person because I think that what they did was good for the world to get to learn about.

Anne Frank’s birth and death date, Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, she died 1945 in Bergan-Belson concentration camp. Her family consisted of Her mother, father, and sister. Anne Frank’s family was Jewish. Her mother, Edith died before Anne. Anne died shortly after her sister Margot. Anne was born in Frankfurt Germany, she lived there for quite a while, then her family moved to the Netherlands where they lived in a secret annex behind a bookshelf.

The time period was the 30’s to 40’s. World war II had broken out, and the Nazi party took power. The Nazis were against Jewish people, black people, gypsies, and more. They made camps where people were “exterminated” and other camps where people just spent time in unsanitary places.

Anne Frank’s accomplishments were really unintentional! She had a diary that she used to explain how she felt and what was going on. She also told how hard it could be to get food and other things. Her diary was and still is really important to historians to learn more about World War II. She also said what is what like to live in a secret place where the entrance was behind a bookshelf.

Where Anne Frank lived there were five people who helped the Frank family to hide. They helped them get food, shelter, and protection. Their names were Johannas Kleiman, Miep Van Gies, Victor Kugler, Bep Voskuijl, and Johannas Hendrick Voskuijl. In later years, Anne Frank’s family was found by Germans, and were taken to camps. The theory is that one of the helpers gave them away, but it is still unknown who.

That is what I learned on Anne Frank for my research project.

Nancy Wake

Nancy Wake: a Beast Within Beauty

I am going to tell you about the most interesting person (in my opinion). Nancy Grace Augusta Wake is one person I will never forget about. She helped end World War 2. She became a spy in the French Resistance.

Nancy Wake was the youngest of all her siblings. Her sisters were Hazel, Ruby, and Gladys Wake. Her brothers were Charles, and Stanly Wake. Her parents were Charles and Ella Wake. My point is, she was not an only child.

For now, let's just get to Nancy. She was a young lady with long brown hair. She got past a lot of her enemies because she had such stunning beauty. She was born in Wellington, New Zealand, 1913. She had a pretty normal childhood. Nothing big really happened. It is what she did as an adult is what I am going to tell you about.

She witnessed the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement "saw roving Nazi gangs randomly beating Jewish men and women in the streets of Vienna. They were beating them for no reason. She wanted to stop that. One day, she found out that one of her aunts had died and left her a lot of money. Out of all her family members, she got all the money. She ran away from home to become a nurse. She was there for about a year. She trained herself to be a journalist. Then she found out that a spot in the French Resistance was open.

She took the job. She became captain of the French Resistance. That is where her story begins. She could not just stand by and let Nazis take over the world. She needed to do something. She took the job so she could do good in the world. She meant to keep that promise. She lead 7,000+

soldiers into battle against 22,000 German soldiers causing 1,400 casualties, suffering only 100 themselves.

On her miraculous journey she met Henri Edmond Fiocca. I do not know his story. She also met John Forward who she left because she had to do a mission. He would not come with her so she just left him. She also earned the name, The White Mouse. She was called The White Mouse because she was so hard to catch! Speaking of hard to catch, she was Gestapo's most wanted. By 1943 she had 5 million dollars on her head. So if somebody killed her, they would have got 5 million dollars! A lot of people wanted to kill her. As I told you before, she had extraordinary beauty. Nancy wake got away from a lot of people because she was so beautiful.

Nancy Wake got a lot of medals and awards. She got George medal, RSA badge in gold, Companion of the order of Australia, presidential medal of freedom and, Croix de guerre. She has just recently died but she lived a pretty long life. She was 98 and died August 8, 2011. She died of old age. 1913-2011. She did what she wanted to do. She saved and helped a lot of people. She was never caught.

Fun Fact: one time, Nancy Wake killed somebody with her bare hands! Another thing she did was parachute down into Nazi occupied France.

Goodbye and have a good rest of your day. I hope you are satisfied with my report on Nancy Wake. I think that she is very important to history. She helped end World War 2.

Presentation Notes:

"Bonjour my french resistance fighters. As your captain, I will tell you who I am and what happened in my past. I was born 1912 and started to spy in 1943. I was 31. I was nicknamed The White Mouse because I was so hard to catch. I was caught many times but I got past them. I led 7,000+ Resistance fighters into battle against 22,000 Nazis. Some of those fighters were you. I killed one of our Nazi foes with my bare hands. I parachuted down into Nazi occupied France. I hope to see you at the ceremony honoring all the fighters that have died in battle."

Julia Child

The Spy In The Kitchen

By Julia

I'm doing my report on the spy in the kitchen also known as Julia Child. Julia Child is a very interesting lady because she is not just a cook. She was a spy and you probably guessed that from the title. I hope you learn about Julia Child.

One Important Duty

At six feet two inches, Julia Child was an uncommonly tall girl. When WWII broke out, she was determined to join the army but she was rejected for being too tall. The Navy also rejected her for being too tall. But did she give up? Never. Julia Child became a...spy! One of her missions was to solve a highly explosive problem that was killing sharks! There were bombs in the sea! No spy had a clue what to do... no spy except Julia Child. Her solution was in the kitchen. Her first recipes were cakes that smelled like dead sharks and fish and they put those close to the bombs so that the fish and sharks would not go near them.

Her Mid-Life

After she retired she got married and moved to France. After her first taste of French food she fell in love with it. Since she loved French food so much she decided to join Le Cordon Bleu which is a French cooking school. Julia Child is recognized for bringing French food to the American public. She moved to France for her husband Paul's job who she met on a oss mission because he was also in the oss but the job they moved there for was a foreign service. Here is a fun fact: Julia Child's real name is Julia Carolyn McWilliams.

Why is she popular

She wrote award winning cookbooks and won five awards. In 1995, Julia Child established the Julia Child foundation for Gastronomy and Culinary Arts.She had her own baking show called the French Chef.

Books

As I said earlier she wrote award winning cookbooks. Some titles of her books are:

•Mastering the art of French cooking

•The French chef cookbook

•Mastering the art of French cooking volume 2

•From Julia Childs kitchen

And etc

Julia Child died, sadly, on August 13,2004, two days before her birthday. I feel really bad for her family because it was probably not expected to be before her birthday. Thank you for listening to my presentation.

Irena Sendlerowa

Unstoppable!

By, Solveig

Good afternoon, everyone! A lot of very well-known people are here at the Biography Bistro including Ben Franklin, Helen Keller, and Gabby Douglas. My character is not as popular as all of them. But, I did discover MUCH more than meets the eye -- if you count saving 2,500 lives as something.

On February 15, 1910, a baby girl is born. Her name is Irena Krzyzanowska, that's me. When I was a young girl my father, a hard-working doctor, fell ill with typhus, which he had been treating in others. Before my father passed away, he told me, "Irena, if someone drowning, you must jump in and try to save them."

Now, I'm known as Irena Sendlerowa, or in some cases, Irena Sendler. I was married Mieczyslaw Sendlerowa, but, in 1931 (after the war) we got divorced. Soon, I married a fellow activist Stephen Zgrzembski and had two children, a son and daughter.

Now, we are going take a step back into the 1900's

It is a very dark, bad time in World War II. Many of these people around us are too afraid to be upstanders and choose to be bystanders instead. I have not been tricked into that one!

As the Jews are being persecuted by the Nazis in World War II, I am working on helping Jewish families and saving their children by giving them Christian names and having Christian families adopt them. I wrote their real names and their new names on slips of paper, put them in

marmalade jars, and buried them under a big tree in my friend's garden. After the war, I would reunite many children with their families. Sadly many did not.

The Warsaw Ghetto is a part of town built by Adolf Hitler's Nazis, If you don't know. They're herding 500,000 of the Polish Jews behind its walls to await liquidation. That's when I was able to smuggle 2,500 children out (if anyone was caught doing this they would be severely punished or killed, but I managed to escape!)

Sometimes the smaller children would cry when I took them from their families. So to cover up the noise, I trained a dog to bark. I have been able to hide the children in sacks, bags of clothes, boxes -- even in coffins! I saved them all in three months.

And now, I've became pretty famous! A movie and a play were made about me. The movie is titled "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler," and the play is called "Life in a Jar." The play was written by a group of Kansas schoolgirls (Elizabeth Cambers, Megan Stewart, Sabrina Coons, and Janice Underwood), along with their teacher Norman Conard.

I lived a very fulfilled life that I hope will never be forgotten. Are you all ready to continue fighting for this cause?
