RCA Museum has a new temporary exhibit that will run until Jan. 12. Anne Frank – A History For Today is a travelling exhibition that focuses on the life of Anne Frank and the history of the Second World War in Europe. The exhibition uses images from the Frank family and quotations from the Diary of Anne Frank. It portrays the most important developments of that time: The rise of National Socialism, the Second World War and the persecution of the Jews. The Anne Frank’s diary was fi rst published in 1947. It has been translated into 60 languages and has become one of the best known documents about the Holocaust.
