> Anne Frank: A History for Today,  Winter 2010

A new special exhibit will open December 3rd featuring photographs of the Frank family and other occupants of the Secret Annex.

The exhibit traces the story of the Frank family alongside the events of World War II and the persecution of the Jews.  By focusing on the well known Frank family, the exhibit reveals the challenges faced by all Jews during World War II and the difficult decisions people were forced to make.  Implicit in the exhibit are the themes of scapegoating, bullying, anti-Semitism, racism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album was developed by the Anne Frank House and is sponsored in North America by the Anne Frank Center USA.

The first of many rotating special exhibitions, Building the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, traces the history of the new Museum back to its roots in the attempted neo-Nazi march in Skokie in the late 1970s and local survivors' responses to that watershed event.
