The Anne Frank Project (AFP), a campuswide conference that uses storytelling to examine issues such as racism, intolerance, and genocide, returns to SUNY Buffalo State September 11–13 for its fifth year. The conference is composed of 50 events, all of which are free and open to the public.
New this year is a provocative exhibit at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Anne Frank: A History for Today, which explores the life of Anne Frank and her family against the backdrop of the Holocaust. It runs September 10 through October 6 and marks the first time the exhibit has left the Anne Frank Center in New York City. Included is a hands-on component, “Virtual Annex,” where participants choose an avatar to experience Frank’s Amsterdam annex.
