19 May – 23 June “Anne Frank, A History For Today” The Anne Frank travelling exhibition tells the story of Anne Frank and the Holocaust to people who are not able to visit the Anne Frank Museum in the Netherlands. The exhibition comes to Whangarei as part of a three-year National tour, having been displayed in more then 150 cities around the world to date. The exhibition tells the story of the Frank family's flight to The Netherlands from Nazi Germany and their two years in hiding in the secret annex at the rear of an office building. It also covers the stories of the people who helped them to hide and the others who hid with them. It movingly captures the sudden betrayal that led to their transportation to concentration camps and death.
