Anne Frank: A History for TodayOver 400 educators and administrators from across the Midwest,...

“I hope I shall be able to confide in youcompletely, as I have never been able todo in anyone before, and I hope that youwill be a great support and comfort to me.”

Anne Frank, June 12, 1942

On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank's parentsgave her a small red and white plaid diaryfor her thirteenth birthday. More thansixty years later, this diary has become oneof the most well-known memoirs of theHolocaust. Today, The Diary of AnneFrank is available in 66 languages, andover 40 million copies have been soldworldwide.

Anne Frank's story continues to be important because it communicates whatcan happen when hate and intolerance prevail. The essence of Anne Frank's message has become a universal symbol of tolerance, strength, and hope in the faceof adversity - a symbol transcending allcultures and ages and conveying the ideathat discrimination and intolerance are dangerous and wrong.

The life history of Anne Frank and herfamily is the leading thread runningthrough Anne Frank: A History for Today.The family’s story is juxtaposed againstworld events before, during and after therise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Naziparty. The exhibit includes photographs ofthe Frank family and the other occupantsof the Secret Annex and shows how peoplewere persecuted by political decisions andby the actions of individuals. Implicit inthe exhibit are the themes of scapegoating, bullying, anti-Semitism, racism, ethniccleansing, and genocide. ■

Anne Frank: A History for Today is sponsored by

the New York-based Anne Frank Center USA, Inc.

The exhibit will run through February 28, 2010.

Dear Friends,

On April 19th, 2009, the day of the openingof the Museum, a dream came true.

The dream actuallybegan in 1981whenErna Gans helped

organize and became President of theHolocaust Memorial Foundation ofIllinois. She was a determined leaderunder whom the organization built asmall storefront museum on MainStreet. With Erna’s persistence, we wereable to achieve passage of the IllinoisHolocaust Education Mandate, whichmade this the first state to require theteaching of the Holocaust in all publicschools. As a result, our Speakers’Bureau expanded to address the demandfor survivors to interact with school children. Erna passed away after serving as President for 18 years.

As the new President, Lisa Derman continued to expand the educational effort,and the demand for survivor speakers andteacher training and field trips grew evenfurther. It became apparent the crampedstorefront was stretched to the limits andthat a new building was needed. I volunteeredto spearhead that program by asking to bechairman. I worked with Lisa on a daily

basis to further the cause of our dream fora new museum. Sadly, she passed away,far too soon, in the summer of 2002.

After Lisa’s untimely death, I was entrustedwith the responsibility of serving as thethird President of the organization. At thattime one might have compared us to DonQuixote, dreaming the impossible dreamand tilting at windmills. But he was oneman alone, often facing imaginary foes. I was surrounded by, guided by, and helpedby many—my family, my fellow officers,our Board of Directors, the dedicated individuals who formed our Museum andEducation Center (MEC) committee, ledby our pillar of strength, J.B. Pritzker; ourextraordinary Project and ExecutiveDirector, Rick Hirschhaut, who inheritedthe mantle of leadership from our devotedLillian Gerstner; and ultimately, the thousands of people who embraced whatwe were working to achieve.

Don Quixote believed he was fightinggiants; our obstacles were genuine: influencing public opinion in our favor,obtaining land on which to build, and raising the funds necessary to take theproject from dream to opening day.

On April 19th, 2009, the day of the opening of the Museum, I received a present from J.B. Pritzker, with a noteattached to it that said:

Sam, that was easy! What is next? You were right all along. It was Bashert.

Love, J.B.

My reply to him was, “J.B., today the worldhas seen this baby, this Museum being born.Now, as with all children, the real work willstart. Bashert is the right word.” TheMuseum was built not only by the survivorsand the entire community, but also, I believe,with divine assistance. For me and for somany others, the last ten years have been themost exciting and challenging. This excitement was shared by all of our layleadership, as well as the Mayors of Skokieand Chicago; along with the hundreds ofcontributors, architects and constructionworkers. We all labored to bring this museum to the world.

Every journey begins with a single step.None of us travel alone. I am proud andhonored to have been President during theseprecious eight years. Now it is time for meto pass the gavel and join the rest of you.Together we will ensure that this onceimpossible dream, this museum, will alwaysserve to fight bigotry and intolerance—andwill inspire all to remember the past andtransform the future.

With gratitude and love to all of you,

Samuel R. HarrisBoard President

Spotlight On

Since the Museum opened in April, volunteers can beseen throughout the Museum offering a welcomingand warm presence to all visitors. On any given day,between 20 and 30 volunteers work at the Museum as either a Visitor Services Volunteer or as a DocentVolunteer. Our 355 volunteers collectively workapproximately 1,500 hours each month.

Mike Leibovitz volunteers at the Museum at least two times per week. Mike came to the Museum as a visitor and noticed that our security team could usesome extra help with large groups of visitors as theygo through the metal detector. He contacted ourVolunteer office and said that volunteering at the mainentrance of the Museum was the job that he wanted.He has been here almost every week since that time.This is the first time in his life that Mike has volunteeredafter a successful career in the retail business. He volunteers because he enjoys working with people.Mike is truly a welcoming presence as he greets ourvisitors every day. ■

My name is Ömer Güven, I am 20 years old and am an Action Recondiliation Service for Peace (ARSP)intern. I am proud to get the chance to work atIHMEC. When I was a leader of a political youthorganization in Germany, I noticed the danger of growing discrimination. While young people have agood education about the Holocaust, I have realizedthat, unfortunately, prevention and knowledge aboutcurrent genocides is not widespread. IHMEC has recognized the difference between “remembering” and “reflecting,” which is one of the most fundamentaland important things to teach people.

I grew up in a suburb of Hanover called Wedemark,where I went to school for thirteen years. My personalinterests are in history, politics, economics and sports.After this year I am going to work in an investmentbank called Warburg and study International BusinessAdministration in Hamburg.

I am very happy that there are still organizations like ARSP, which are very active and committed to trying to improve the Jewish-German dialogue. ARSP sends about 150 volunteers all over the world in 13 different countries to work with Jewish communities and organizations.

I am really looking forward to becoming a part of this museum and thank everybody for such a warmwelcome. ■
