The Story behind the Story of Anne Frank with Steve Austin

Summit Marlborough Heritage Festival: The Story behind the Story of Anne Frank with Steve Austin, Executive Director at Marlborough Museum

Steve will talk about various aspects of Anne Frank's story and recent research. This talk is leading up to the Anne Frank exhibition which we will have in July 2023 at Marlborough Museum.

The touring exhibition, Anne Frank: Let Me Be Myself, was created by Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and is based on the record of Anne's life in her diary, as well as documented historical events from the Second World War. The exhibition aims not just to educate visitors about what happened in the past but how those themes are still relevant today. It asks us to consider what we can each do to make sure that persecution of individuals due to race, religion, age, sexuality, or disability is brought to an end.

Bookings Essential. RSVP by Wednesday 2 November phone 03 578 1712 or email info@marlboroughmuseum.org.nz.
