Last Wednesday and Thursday I had the unbelievable pleasure to take part in
The Anne Frank Project at Buffalo State College. Pioneered by Drew Kahn and ably assisted by Co-Director, Eve Everette, this conference is now an annual fixture on the Buffalo State campus. The conference is free and open to the public and has tons of thought provoking sessions built around Anne Frank's wish to change the world in meaningful ways.
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."-Anne Frank.
Drew has been on board with our "Understanding the Holocaust" project since its inception. This year he offered us a unique opportunity to have our "virtual Annex" on display at the Burchfield Penney Art Center as a companion exhibit to The Anne Frank Center (USA)'s Timeline display. I was so honored to have the project so prominently displayed in such a magnificent museum. I would highly recommend going to this museum at any time. It is breathtaking in its architecture, peaceful in its atmosphere, as well as, powerfully engaging in its artistic display.
