(BRANCHBURG, NJ) -- Raritan Valley Community College's Institute of Holocaust and Genocide Studies will present a new exhibition, Anne Frank, A History for Today, on display from February 9 to April 2, 2026. The exhibit will be showcased in the Morris and Dorothy Hirsch Research Library, located on the second floor of RVCC's Evelyn S Field Library.
Anne Frank: A History for Today presents the history of the Holocaust as told through the perspective of Anne Frank and her family. The display features 11 large panels, as well as artifacts. Juxtaposing photographs of the Frank family with historical images, the exhibit shows how persecuted people were affected by the political actions of individuals and groups.
Created in partnership with the Anne Frank Center at the University of South Carolina, Anne Frank: A History for Today engages students and visitors. RVCC students are being trained to lead tours by staff from the Anne Frank Center, the official national partner of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam where the exhibition was created.
The exhibition and tours are free to the public, but registration is required. For additional information about Anne Frank: A History for Today or to schedule a tour, contact Michelle Edgar, Program Specialist, at [email protected]. For library hours, visit https://library.raritanval.edu/hours.
