Just as in many families, the photo album of the Frank family begins with the birth of the first child. As an amateur photographer, Otto Frank has a single theme: the life and times of his daughters Anne and Margot. Nothing we see in Otto Frank’s photos reveals the horrors that Anne and her family will have to endure. What we now know about the fate of Anne Frank affects our perception of her book, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. Equally so, it is impossible to view the photos that portray her life with an impartial eye.

The exhibit consists of 71 photographs, many of which have never been shown to the public. The photos are reproductions from the Frank family albums, some of which have only recently been discovered. A 28-minute award-winning documentary film, “The Short Life of Anne Frank,” is also provided for screening with this exhibit.

Specifications: Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album

The photographs are mounted on lightweight aluminum panels measuring 16 inches wide by 26 inches high. There are also a title panel, 10 text panels, and 3 credit panels. The panels are designed to be wall-hung, requiring a minimum of 120 running wall feet. Double-hanging the panels reduces the space required to about 60 running wall feet. The exhibit is shipped in four crates.
