July 2015
Welcome to the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust and Anne Frank in the World enewsletter. Updates on upcoming events, programs, and opportunities right to your inbox! Here is what is new:
Anne Frank and other diarists from the Holocaust
July 6 marks seventy-three years since Anne Frank and her family went in to hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam.
A few weeks earlier, on June 12, 1942, Anne had received a diary for her birthday and began writing in it immediately. She wrote about her birthday party. She wrote about her friends, family, and school. She wrote about her everyday life.
The sheer number of Holocaust victims is difficult to comprehend. Emphasis on diverse personal experiences, such as that of Anne Frank, helps portray the victims as individuals instead of part of a larger number. Diaries written during the Holocaust give voices to the victims voices that would otherwise have been lost.

"In Her Father's Eyes: A Slovak Childhood in the Shadow of the
Holocaust" exhibit on loan
The Georgia Commission on the Holocaust is hosting the travelling exhibition "In Her Father's Eyes: A Slovak Childhood in the Shadow of the Holocaust", on loan from the Kennesaw State University Museum of History and Holocaust Education, at Anne Frank in the World in Sandy Springs. The exhibit will be on display from June 9 until August 25, 2015. Admission is free. Click here for more information.
"In Her Father's Eyes" chronicles the life of Kitty Weichherz, who was the same age as Anne Frank. She died at Sobibr concentration camp in Poland the same year the Frank family went into hiding in Amsterdam. Kitty's story is captured in words and photographs by her father, Bela, who maintained a meticulous diary of the "mundane and profound" events of his daughter's life.
