my name is dr walter sun q i'm the president of reincarnation research the pioneer in reincarnation research is dr ian stevenson at the university of virginia for 40 years he traveled around the world studying young children with spontaneous memories of past lives from these cases we can derive principles of reincarnation one of the patterns is that people have the same personalities and talents and can look exactly like they did in their past incarnations barbara was born nine years after anne frank died when barbara was a little child and said my name is anna frank she
has spontaneous memories of her past life as anne frank at the time her parents didn't even know who anne frank was because the diary of anne frank was not yet published and they thought she was making this all up what makes her case compelling is not that she has the same facial features as anne frank but she had memories from childhood and by the time she was 10 her parents took her to amsterdam and the father wanted to go see the anne frank museum arbor said we don't need a cab it's right near here and
they said how can you possibly know you've never been here somehow barbara went straight to the anne frank house looked at a wall and said mommy look the pictures the movie stars are still on the wall and her mother looked at the wall and said barbara there's nothing there and the tour guide said actually the pictures that anne frank had clipped out of magazines of movie stars had been on that wall that was the first time her parents realized her past life memories were real or that her reported memories were not fantasies and barbaro became
a childhood writing prodigy just like anne frank had her first book published at age 12. you
