The Anne Frank Web Guide
By Kathy Ishizuka -- School Library Journal, 1/1/2006
Though it was first published nearly 60 years ago, Anne Frank’s story and its enduring message of tolerance is as relevant today as ever.
Now, a newly launched Web site, the Anne Frank Guide, provides a wealth of resources to help students and teachers explore the world of Anne Frank, her diary, the Holocaust, and create projects online. Jointly produced by the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank Center in Berlin, the guide provides multimedia resources spanning the parallel events of Anne Frank’s life and World War II. Users can access related text, photographs, film clips, 360-degree rotating panoramas, and sound effects through a searchable database, or explore these materials by theme, from “The Secret Annexe” to “Liberation.” Click the tab “Make a Project” to register, which enables you to save your work on the site. Also provided are tips for making your own illustrated story, PowerPoint presentation, or related Web site, along with step-by-step guidance on how to download and use images from the site. To view samples of student work from around the world, click on the “Expo” link, where you can also post your own contribution.
