a story
never to forget
‘Het achterhuis’, the diary of Anne Frank, is one of the most famous books in the world. Anne’s story became a symbol for the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis. The fate of the Frank family is a testament to where xenophobia and intolerance can lead us. In the 21st century Anne’s journal has lost nothing of its power of expression. The universal message is as relevant as ever. It’s a story we must never stop telling.
And this is why the Anne Frank Foundation is creating a new travelling exhibition for young people. The exhibition will open in Germany, in the Bondsdag in Berlin and will then travel to several cities. ‘Deine Anne. Ein Mädchen schreibt Geschichte’ tells the tale of the rise of the Nazis from a personal perspective: Anne’s own story. In this way the exhibition relates to the experiences of children of Anne’s age in the contemporary world and the choices they are faced with in their lives today. Tinker made the concept in co-creation with the Anne Frank Foundation and was responsible for its design.
