THE LIFE STORY OF ANNE FRANK
An exhibition developed by the Anne Frank House in
Amsterdam, and viewed by more than 10 million people in
80 countries, is now showing at the Air Force Museum of
New Zealand in Christchurch.
It explores what life was like for Anne and her family
spending years in hiding during WW2 and the Holocaust.
Anne Frank: Let me be myself asks each visitor to consider
what they might do in similar circumstances, while exploring
themes of identity, prejudice and discrimination through the
contemporary stories of six young people coping with the
challenges of being different from their peers.
Until September 21
