Anne Frank: A History For Today- offers connections to current historical events. This exhibit was created in 1996. The goals of the exhibit are to inform the viewer about the history of the Holocaust from the perspective of Anne Frank and her family; to teach the viewer that differences between people exist in all societies (cultural, ethnic, religious, political, etc.). Special attention is paid to attitudes and ideologies that can lead to acts of discrimination and persecution. The exhibit will challenge the viewer to think about fundamental social values such as tolerance, mutual respect, human rights, and democracy, as well as to educate the viewer about our individual and collective responsibilities to understand and respect diversity in our society.Anne Frank: A History for Today, illustrates the continuing relevance of Anne Frank’s story and the important lessons it can teach us today. The exhibit reminds us that the discrimination and racism that ended her life did not disappear when World War II ended. Learning about her life story challenges the viewer to think about the value of tolerance, mutual respect, and the significance of human rights
