The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes will host the international traveling exhibit “Anne Frank: A History for Today” in Fort Scott, Kansas, this June.
This exhibit, presented in partnership with the Anne Frank Center — the official partner of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Netherlands, for the United States and Canada — offers visitors an opportunity to learn more about Anne Frank, her family and their actions during one of history’s darkest periods.
Through historical photos, stories and visuals of the actual Anne Frank House, visitors will be immersed in the life of a young girl whose words and resilience have touched millions around the world.
The Center shared that this exhibit was made possible through the efforts of Megan Helberg, a 2021 Lowell Milken Center Fellow and the current program coordinator for the Anne Frank Center. Her connection to both organizations helped bring this educational opportunity to Fort Scott.
“We are proud to be the featured location for this meaningful exhibit,” said Norm Conard, executive director of the Lowell Milken Center. “Anne Frank’s story remains as relevant today as ever — reminding us of the dangers of prejudice and the strength of hope.”
The exhibit will be displayed from June 2 through 26 at the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes (1 S. Main St., Fort Scott, KS 66701). The museum is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Center is closed on Sundays. Admission is free, and all are welcome.
