The public is invited to experience the Anne Frank traveling exhibit beginning Monday, Sept. 7, at Wayne State College. Admission is free and open to the public.
The exhibit, which runs through Sept. 20, will be in Ley Theatre, located on the second floor of the Brandenburg Building. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
The exhibit is sponsored by the Institute for Holocaust Education in Omaha and the Anne Frank Center at the University of South Carolina.
On her 13th birthday, Anne Frank is given a diary. Just a few weeks later, her life is turned upside down when she goes into hiding. For more than two years she will keep a record of her thoughts, feelings, and experiences in her diary. She has no way of knowing that this diary will be read by millions of people all over the world in the future.
"Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I've never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl,” said Anne Frank in an excerpt from her diary.
