Anne Frank House Exhibition @ Phoenix City Hall
May 17 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

The international exhibition, “Anne Frank – A History for Today” will be available to the public at Phoenix City Hall on May 17 and May 18, 2018. Furthermore, the exhibition will be on display at three Phoenix metropolitan schools in April and May.

The Anne Frank House exhibition has traveled to high schools in more than 40 countries worldwide. The organization is located in Amsterdam and is brought to Phoenix by the Netherlands Consulate General in San Francisco. The cause has traveled throughout the west coast, ranging from the Bay Area to Hawaii and now finally reaching Phoenix, Arizona. The panels show Anne Frank’s childhood in Frankfurt and in Amsterdam, and portray the rise of the Nazis, the persecution of the Jews, and how the people responded in these times of crisis. Through the story of Anne Frank, the exhibition will touch on themes of inclusion, diversity and tolerance.

The exhibition is based on the concept of “peer-education” with students themselves being responsible for guiding the tours. During a training by the Anne Frank House, peer guides are taught how to explain the content to their fellow students and how to open questions to further the discussion. The exhibition will travel to Mohave Middle School, Dobson High School, and Carl Hayden High School, reaching Scottsdale, Mesa, and Phoenix school communities.

The City of Phoenix will host the exhibition at Phoenix City Hall on May 17 and 18 during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., visitors can take a self-guided tour of the exhibition, but can sign up for a student-guided tour from 3 to 5 p.m. For tours, visitors will proceed to sign in when entering city hall and will wait to be hosted by the next available tour guide.

The Diary of Anne Frank @ Herberger Theater Center
May 17 @ 7:30 pm

Finding hope in the darkest corners. One of the most powerful stories of the 20th century, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic in war-torn Amsterdam. Anne’s daily existence – her fears, her hopes, her laughter, her grief, and her family’s desperate attempt to preserve humanity in an inhumane world – drive this transcendently powerful true-life tale. Incorporating newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank – as well as survivor accounts – to create an impassioned story of lives of Jews persecuted under Nazi rule, it is a story that continually lingers in our minds throughout the generations because of its optimism and intrinsic truth: the idea that no matter how dire the circumstances, faith in the good of people is what keeps the world in balance – even when all seems lost.
