Landmark Students Learn About Anne Frank

Submitted by brian.davenport on

On May 6th, a select few classes were sent to see an Anne Frank Exhibit at the Salt Lake City Library. (The classes were mixtures of English and history divisions, many of them currently studying the topic). We saw a documentary about the short life of Anne Frank. It told the story of her travels, her ponderings, her aspirations, her widely ranged emotions, her thoughtfulness, her mysteries and finally, her horrors.
