'Let Me Be Myself - The Life Story of Anne Frank' can be viewed at Deniliquin's Peppin Heritage Centre Gallery until September 26.
Anne Frank’s experiences as a Jewish child in World War II Nazi Germany were documented in her diary, published following her death by her father Ottto Frank.
Launched in 2015 by Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, the exhibition has travelled throughout Australia to offer visitors a profound glimpse into Anne's life through photographs, personal writings, and interactive displays.
Anne Frank Australia's executive manager Iet Fuijkschot said the exhibition explores themes of empathy, resilience, and understanding, connecting Anne's personal experiences with broader historical events of her time.
She said it documents “a happy child living a full life, then all of a sudden, having to move to small quarters with nine other people, and the difficulties associated with that”.
Edward River Council CEO Jack Bond said this is more than just a history exhibition.
“It's a chance to see the world through Anne's eyes, and to be reminded of the power of courage and hope in the face of adversity.”
Mrs Fuijkschot was in Deniliquin yesterday, along with Anne Frank Australia secretary and director Frederik Fuijkschot, to set up the exhibition.
They were also guest speakers at a special launch event last night.
The Peppin Heritage Centre Gallery in George St, Deniliquin is open from 9am to 4pm Monday to Saturday, and 9am to 2pm Sundays. An entry fee of $3 applies.
