LOS ANGELES—Join the Los Angeles Public Library in celebrating Anne Frank Day during Jewish American Heritage Month. The event, presented by Anne Frank LA, honors the legacy of Anne Frank, whose powerful message of tolerance, strength, and hope in the face of adversity teaches us not only that discrimination and intolerance are wrong and dangerous but also that young voices matter.
This event begins with an award presentation ceremony honoring Trudie Strobel, a Holocaust survivor and tapestry artist, with the Anne Frank LA Humanitarian Award and the student winners, ages 12 to18, of the Anne Frank Day Your Story Matters Essay Contest. The afternoon concludes with a screening of two short films, Anne and The Anne Frank Gift Shop (winner of multiple film festival awards and shortlisted for the 2024 Academy Awards). Guests are invited to stay for a Q&A with the filmmakers to discuss the relevance of Anne Frank today.
Where: Los Angeles Central Library
When: Sunday, May 12, 2-3:45pm
