Explore the remarkable journey of a global icon. Anne Frank’s status as a symbol of Holocaust history and literature was not inevitable; it is the result of a complex interplay between her story’s profound resonance and the dedicated efforts of those who have championed her legacy. This traveling display from Kennesaw State University highlights the "translators" of her story—family members, protectors, publishers, artists, and educators—who have worked tirelessly to bring her voice from context to context and generation to generation. Join us to discover how these abiding efforts have shaped our understanding of Anne Frank today.
