HAVANA, Cuba, March 19 (acn) The "Anne Frank: an valid history" travelling international exhibition was opened in this capital at a ceremony attended by representatives of the Foundation that carries her name, as well as students, workers, diplomats and intelligentsia.
Doctor Eduardo Torres Cuevas, director of the Jose Marti National Library, thanked the Anna Frank Foundation and the Dutch Embassy for the privilege of this exhibition returning after nine years to show children, young people, and other visitors the horrors of fascism told by a
teenager.
For his part, Kleis Broekhuizen, director of the Foundation, said that since 1985 the exhibition has been taken to over 1,000 cities in at least 40 countries, and has been seen by over 10 million people, half of them young, who have been shocked by the crimes committed during World War II.
Broekhuizen pointed out the goal of this travelling exhibition is to reflect on the current situation and to prevent a holocaust happening again, in which millions of people die. The persecution of the Jews was just one of many barbarities.
The specialist stated that the "Diary of Anne Frank" offers the reality of those times, described by a girl who was hidden in Amsterdam for over two years, together with her dear ones, afraid of being discovered and killed, as finally happened in February 1945 in Auschwitz, a
concentration camp.
Kleis Broekhuizen pointed out that this story, besides being extraordinary, is a warning to the world to be alert to the dangers challenging humanity.
