Anne Frank Expert to Speak at MCC


Many of us know Anne Frank as the German-Jewish teenager who was forced to go into hiding for 25 months during the Holocaust. She ultimately lost her life at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the age of 15. Her diary is one of the most widely read books in the world, but what do we really know about Anne Frank? Was there more to her life than what we have read and seen on television?
