Exhibit focuses on Anne Frank
“Anne Frank, A History for Today” will be on display through April 2 at Raritan Valley Community College’s Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Branchburg. The exhibit will be showcased in the Morris and Dorothy Hirsch Research Library, on the second floor of RVCC’s Evelyn S. Field Library.
The exhibition is the history of the Holocaust as told through the perspective of Anne Frank and her family. The display features 11 large panels and artifacts. Juxtaposing photographs of the Frank family with historical images, the exhibit shows how persecuted people were affected by the political actions of individuals and groups.
It was created in partnership with the Anne Frank Center at the University of South Carolina. RVCC students are being trained to lead tours by staff from the Anne Frank Center, the official national partner of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, where the exhibition was created.
The exhibition and tours are free to the public, but registration is required. The exhibition is also supported by the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education.
