Quote of the month
9th July 1942
It was agreed that we’d go into hiding on 16 July. Because of Margot’s call-up notice, the plan had to be moved forward ten days, which meant we’d have to make do with less orderly rooms.

Anne Frank and Family
'The photographs offer a carefree world in which an ordinary family got on with their lives in innocence, ignorant of the horrors to come.'
Daily Express
Anne Frank’s story has become synonymous with the Holocaust
and sometimes it is easy to forget that her family and millions
of others who shared their fate, had happy normal lives before
the rise of the Nazis.
The exhibition, Anne Frank and Family, is a beautiful and poignant
collection of photographs of Anne and Margot Frank taken during their
happy childhood in Frankfurt and Amsterdam by their keen photographer
father, Otto. Following shows in Amsterdam and New York, it was
launched in Britain at St. Paul’s Cathedral in June 2006.
The exhibition is augmented by a collection of period artefacts and
worksheets to help children compare Anne’s childhood with their own.
“The photographs are from albums which were in the secret annexe.
We know this with certainty because Anne removed photos from them
to paste in her diary. There the albums served as recollections of a happier
period, while at the same time expressing her desire for a better future.'”
Jan van Kooten, (Head Of Education) Anne Frank House
This exhibition is suitable for venues that can provide 50m running space
on walls or stand-alone screens. It contains:
• 60 photograph boards and 10 text boards
• Children’s quiz and visitor notes
• Period artefacts including a pre-war Leica camera like the one used by Otto Frank and toys similar to those in the photos
The Anne Frank Trust’s Exhibitions Manager can arrange for the
exhibition to be hung and artefacts to be displayed or, if you prefer,
your in-house team can arrange this themselves.
The exhibition is available for hire and can be accompanied by a range of educational activities.
