Country Arts SA presents international travelling exhibition
ANNE FRANK – LET ME BE MYSELF

In a major achievement for the Riverland, Country Arts SA has secured renowned travelling exhibition
“Anne Frank – Let Me Be Myself”.

It will be the first international exhibition hosted by the Chaffey Theatre foyer gallery for more than a decade.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
The first part of “Anne Frank – Let Me Be Myself”, focuses on the story of Anne Frank, from her birth in Frankfurt
in 1929 to her death in Bergen-Belsen in 1945. It covers the rise of the national socialists, the persecution of the
Jews and the Second World War.

The second part of the exhibition centres on contemporary subjects. Five colourful modules contemporise the
story of Anne Frank, showing how it is still relevant in today’s society. With discrimination still taking place on a
daily basis all over the world, the young subjects of the exhibition speak about themselves and how they deal
with today’s prejudices and discrimination.

A model of the Anne Frank House and a copy of her diary will be on display, along with memorabilia of WWII.

8 November 2020 – 20 January 2021, Chaffey Theatre, Renmark
