**September 15th University of South Carolina Chosen As Anne Frank House Partner Site**
The University of South Carolina has been selected as the only North American partner site of the Anne Frank House, becoming one of four such sites in the world to offer a permanent exhibition and educational program in partnership with the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.
The Anne Frank Center, located in the Barringer House, tells the story of the young Jewish girl who documented her family’s two years of hiding in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam during World War II in journals later published as The Diary of a Young Girl. Beginning next month, visitors can take guided tours through the exhibit, which features photos, videos, quotes and original artifacts to illustrate the Frank family’s experience.
The Frank family and four other people hid from the Nazis for 761 days from July 6 to Aug. 4, 1944, before being discovered and sent to concentration camps, with only Anne’s father, Otto, surviving. Otto Frank later published Anne’s diary, which has been translated into more than 70 languages.
The other official partner sites are in Berlin, London and Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam also cooperates with additional organizations to share its mission globally through traveling exhibits, workshops, educational programs and teaching materials.
The Anne Frank Center is operated through a combination of funding from the Anne Frank House; the university; fund-raising, donations and grants; and training, rental and visitor fees.
For more information about the Anne Frank Center, visit sc.edu/annefrankcenter. Tours of the center can be scheduled beginning Sept. 15 by contacting AFCUOFSC@sc.edu.
