SEATTLE -- A traveling Holocaust exhibit which explores the life and death of Anne Frank and challenges visitors to examine their own views of others is making a stop in Seattle.
The Holocaust Center for Humanity is hosting Anne Frank: A History for Today through May 18.
The exhibit, created by The Anne Frank Center USA, delves into scenes of the Holocaust through Frank's observations which she recorded as a teenager while she was in hiding in Amsterdam in the early 1940s.
"There's something so human about this story," said Karen Chachkes, strategic director for the Holocaust Center for Humanity. "She was just a child and her revelations are at once childlike and very, very prescient."
Visitors will be able to view a replica of Frank's diary, read excerpts of her writings, and see several of the center's own artifacts including pieces loaned by the Auschwitz Memorial Museum.
The exhibit also urges visitors to scrutinize their own prejudices and preconceptions of others.
"People are looking for ways to speak out and make a difference and Anne's story shows that you can be courageous and hopeful," said Chachkes.
