Anne Frank exhibition comes to Mornington

From September 2 to October 17, a moving exhibition about the life and legacy of Anne Frank will be on display at Mornington Library. Anne’s famous diary detailing her experience of the Holocaust has sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 70 languages.

The exhibition, Let Me Be Myself – The Life Story of Anne Frank, features a reproduction of the original diary, photographs of Anne’s young life, and World War II memorabilia. Each exhibition panel contains images and texts about the world around Anne: the rise of Hitler, the persecution of the Jews, and the war. It illustrates how the lives of persecuted people such as the Frank family were affected by the political events of the 1930s and 1940s.

The exhibition, which has been brought to Mornington by the Anne Frank Stichting (Foundation), invites visitors to contemplate diversity, identity, prejudice, equal rights, and democracy. Go to annefrank.org.au for more information.
