Anne Frank. here & now - An Exhibition about Anne Frank and nowadays questions.
Organizer: Anne Frank Zentrum
The permanent exhibition "Anne Frank. here & now" can be seen at the Anne Frank Zentrum. It is an exhibition about history and the present. It tells the personal life story of Anne Frank and connects it to the world she lived in.
Anne Frank's diary is today a symbol as well as a document - a symbol of the genocide of the Jews by the National Socialists, and an intimate document of the life and thoughts of a young writer. Large collages of pictures and special objects describe Anne Frank's world, that of her family and friends in the context of National Socialism, the persecution of the Jews and the Second World War.
In her diary Anne Frank dealt with many topics and wrote down her thoughts on them. In the exhibition young people from Berlin have their say about questions to which Anne was also trying to find answers. These are on the one hand very personal questions about identity, values and the future, and on the other hand general questions about war, discrimination and civil courage. The exhibition asks visitors to consider these questions as well.
