For the first time, visitors can view the lost Otto Frank letters received by two Australian girls which form part of this mini-exhibition and highlight our connection to this very special story. It is a thought provoking exhibition exploring the life and times of the young girl whose voice survived the Holocaust.
Photographs, letters and excerpts from Anne’s own diaries bring the families extraordinary years in hiding to life, while drawing comparisons with the tragedy of the Holocaust unfolding across Europe.
