Capital University Library and the Department of History Anne Frank Series | |
|
Anne Frank: A History for Today
Capital University Library Services and the Department of History proudly present “Anne Frank: A History for Today.” Curated by the Anne Frank Center at the University of South Carolina, the official U.S. partner of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, the exhibition tells the story of Anne against the backdrop of the Holocaust and the Second World War. The exhibition aims to inform visitors about the history of the Holocaust from the perspective of Anne and her family; show visitors that differences between people exist in all societies; encourage visitors to analyze the concepts of intolerance, persecution, exclusion, mutual respect, human rights, democracy, and their meaning for us; and convince visitors that the creation of a society in which differences between people are respected is not something automatic.
