This travelling exhibition tells the story of Anne Frank set against the background of the Holocaust and the contemporary relevance to today's society. ‘Let me be myself and then I am satisfied,’ Anne Frank wrote in her diary on 11 April 1944. By that time, she had been in hiding in Amsterdam for almost two years. The Second World War was raging and the Netherlands had been occupied by Germany since May 1940. Containing eight historical modules. Large-size pictures show Anne’s happy early childhood in Frankfurt, followed by the immigration to Amsterdam, up to the time in hiding. In a consequent manner, the exhibition connects the personal story of the Frank family with the important historical events of that time: the rise of the national socialists, the isolation and discrimination of the Jewish population, eventually escalating in the Holocaust. The second part of the exhibition centres around contemporary subjects. Five colourful modules contemporise the story of Anne Frank, showing how it is still relevant in today’s society. With discrimination still taking place on a daily basis all over the world, the youngsters who are shown in the exhibition speak about themselves and how they deal with today’s prejudices and discrimination.
