Anne Frank Exhibit

We were looking for something *free* to do recently. We recalled seeing signs for the Anne Frank Exhibit while having lunch with Chris in Sandy Springs. Admission was free, so we decided to check it out.

The Anne Frank Exhibit is in a strip mall in Sandy Springs. It's not very big, but they've done a great job with the space they have.

We started our tour by watching a 28 minute video titled "The Short Life of Anne Frank". The movie was really good. It showed lots of live footage from World War II and the holocaust. It even had the only known footage of Anne Frank. The movie was informative and quite interesting.

After the video, we toured the exhibit. It is primarily an exhibit of photographs.

Hannah enjoyed looking at this model of the annex where Anne & her family hid.

This was an accurate mock up of Anne's room.

Here's a close up of what her desk looked like with a copy of the famous diary with the plaid cover.

At the end of the exhibit, there were these rolled up pieces of paper stuck in a wood board. The sign said that there were phrases and sentences from Anne's diary on each one and for you to take one as a reminder of your visit.

Here's what Hannah's paper said.

There was a donation box near the entrance. If you gave a $10 donation, you were given a copy of The Diary of Anne Frank. Now Hannah has her own copy.

We spent about an hour at the exhibit and that included the 28 minute video. The exhibit led to some good conversations during lunch afterwards.
