Anne Frank - A history for today

The Waikato Museum isn't particularly known for drawing in big name exhibits, so I was surprised to here that an Anne Frank exhibition was on.

So, of course, I went. The exhibit comprises a series of information boards with a timeline of Anne Frank's family's life, and the war in general. Secondly, a video documentary on Anne's life, and lastly a series of video 'survivor stories'.

Sadly, there were no artifacts or the like, and certainly not the diary itself. Being free admission, I'm not going to complain, but there really wasn't anything that a History channel doco and a book couldn't have told you.

Never the less, it was a good way to kill an hour this morning.
