Anne Frank’s Diary – A Multilingual Multimedia Reading

Students from Iowa City, fluent in 15 different languages, will present passages from Anne Frank’s diary. This event provides an opportunity for attendees to engage in meaningful dialogue, reflect on the Holocaust and other tragic global events, and foster a sense of community as the 95th anniversary of Frank’s diary is commemorated.

The event will include remarks by National Book Award winner Theodore Rosengarten, a writer, teacher, and a social activist from McClellanville, South Carolina. Rosengarten taught the history of the Holocaust for decades in the Jewish Studies Program at the College of Charleston and in the Honors College at the University of South Carolina. 

The first Anne Frank Initiative Little Library, created in partnership with Clear Creek Amana Middle School, will be unveiled at the event. Co-presented by the Anne Frank Initiative in International Programs at the University of Iowa.
