Virtual Tour of Anne Frank’s Secret Annex
Anne Frank’s life and words continue to have powerful meaning for young people around the world. This webinar offers a virtual tour of the Anne Frank House as an example of an online resource that can be used to prepare students to read and comprehend The Diary of a Young Girl within the larger historical framework of the Holocaust. Led by educators from the Anne Frank Center, this webinar will leave time for Q&A.

Dr. Irene Butter Author/Inspirational Speaker/ Holocaust Survivor
Irene Butter’s memoir of her experiences before, during and after the Holocaust is not a recounting of misery and tragedy; rather it is the genuine story of a girl coming to terms with a terrible event and choosing to view herself as a survivor instead of a victim.
At the present time this event will be live. In case of a change in Covid 19 , we may need to pivot to a Zoom event, watch our website for information on how to register for an electronic event.
October 5th @ 6:00 pm
