“Anne Frank: A History for Today” national exhibit, which tells of the German-Jewish teen who wrote of her hiding for 25 months from the Nazis during World War II before her capture and death to typhus in 1945, will be on display Friday to May 1 at the Barness Family Jewish Community Center, 908 N. Alma School Road, Chandler. The exhibit is free. It encourages visitors to learn more about scapegoating, anti-Semitism, racism, ethnic cleansing and genocide as well as tolerance, human rights, democracy and conflict resolution.
Frank, born in 1929, hid with her family and four others in rooms above her father’s office in Amsterdam, Holland, but after being betrayed to the Nazis, all were arrested and deported to a concentration camp, where she died nine months later at the age of 15. The writings in her diary became the 1947 book “The Diary of Anne Frank,” translated into 67 languages and one of the most widely read books in the world. (480) 897-0588 or www.evjcc.org.
