The interactive exhibition "Your Anne - a girl writes history" opened today in Würzburg. High-profile representatives, such as the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Dr. Josef Schuster, the representative of the Ministry in Berlin, Mr. Heppener, the Director of the Anne Frank Center in Berlin, Dr. Deigele, the City's Social Affairs Officer, Dr. Hülya Düber and many more were present.
The special thing about the exhibition is that it includes a part that goes beyond the mere transmission of history. This part demands. It wants to know: Who are you? How do you see yourself? How do others perceive you? And he wants to know: What can you do today? Aren't there anti-Semitism, xenophobia, homophobia, exclusion again? What possibilities do you see for yourself to position yourself?
So that there is no top-down mediation, peer guides are used as companions. Like Eli, Hanna and Philipp, a total of 20 such guides have undergone a two-day training to literally conquer the exhibition with groups of teenagers and young adults. Anne is alive. She also has something to say today. Guides and young people find out together. Super exciting! And super important!
These are real pics4peace, here and now, in our midst.
Can't we also become such living pictures-for-peace?
For example, when we show civil courage where others are attacked and bullied? When we say something against it, where others are teased? Taking sides with the weak? Somehow a strong thought! And not even life-threatening, like Anne Frank back then, right?
