Friday December 6, 2024, at the end of the afternoon, took place opening from the exhibition “ Anne Frank a story for today » at the college of Vassy (Valdallière), in Calvados, which also bears his name.
This is a international traveling exhibition of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. It retraces the life of the young girl, who died in early 1945, and the context of anti-Semitic persecutions during the Second World War through 32 panels.

Middle school students as exhibition guides
