The Anne Frank Center's Multicultural Recording Project

The Anne Frank Centers Multicultural Recording Project is a
grassroots project designed to commemorate Anne Franks 80th birthday. It incorporates the voices and faces of 170 people from a variety of backgrounds and ages, bridging cultural, ethnic, religious, and racial divides, a step toward fulfilling Anne Franks desire to live in a society based on mutual respect. Each participant read an entry from Anne Franks diary and described how Annes words continue to inspire them today. The recording equipment was donated by Tekserve; the editing was generously donated by Hollywood film editor, Bruce Green: And the end result is a 3-hour educational tool that can be viewed in The Anne Frank Center gallery.

This simple and powerful piece demonstrates the power of Anne Frank's writing to touch us across generations and across cultures. Its universality and humanity make vivid the immense tragedy of the Holocaust--we can imagine the millions of lives--like Anne's--that were destroyed. But, as importantly, it points to the beauty of the human spirit, hers and those of the young people speaking about her diary today.
