Anne Frank - Community of Courage Exhibit coming to HPS
This pop-up exhibit brings to life the story of the young Jewish girl who – in the pages of her world-renowned diary – documented two years of hiding in German-occupied Amsterdam during World War II. By sharing Anne's legacy with visitors, student docent leaders will inspire our community to never be bystanders but instead to stand up together against antisemitism, bigotry, and inequality wherever it may exist today.
SAVE THESE DATES:
- April 21- May 10 | Exhibit Open at HHS Media Center
- April 22 HEF | Exhibit Grand Opening Dinner at HHS
