On This Day: March 1933
Nazis establish a dictatorship in Germany and the Frank family decides to leave their home, possibly forever
In early March 1933, Anne Frank's parents are looking for opportunities to leave their home in Germany and begin a new life somewhere safer for their family. Adolf Hitler has been in power since the end of January. The Franks are not the only Jewish Germans trying to leave. The initial response to the Nazi takeover is a substantial wave of German-Jewish emigration, much of it to neighboring European countries.

"Georgia's Response to the Holocaust"
Exhibit currently on display at Anne Frank in the World
The Georgia Commission on the Holocaust's exhibit "Georgia's Response to the Holocaust" is currently on display at Anne Frank in the World: 1929-1945 in Sandy Springs.
The exhibit will be on display until May 4, 2016. Admission is free.
The display was launched on March 16, 2016, when Holocaust survivor Herbert Kohn, who is featured in "A Home for Refugees," shared his story with students of grades 10-12 from The Montgomery Academy. The students toured the exhibits with their teacher who had previously attended the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust's educator workshop "Teaching About the Holocaust: Lessons for Today" hosted in cooperation with the University of North Georgia College of Education.
This exhibit is a two-part series which examines how individuals and organizations in Georgia responded during the Holocaust. The exhibit consists of the following:
"A Home for Refugees" tells the stories of seven survivors who left Europe after Hitler's rise to power and began new lives in Georgia. Click here to read more about this installment. "Witnesses to Liberation" profiles six men who served the United States during World War II and witnessed the liberation of Nazi camps between January and April of 1945.
