5.30 pm – EXHIBITION OPENING The Director of the Foundation, Ronald Leopold, opens the Hungarian-language travelling exhibition of the Anne Frank Foundation of the Netherlands Let Me Be Myself.
On the day of the concert, the Director of the Foundation, Ronald Leopold, opens the Hungarian-language travelling exhibition of the Anne Frank Foundation of the Netherlands at 5.30 pm. The exhibition will be open for two weeks with a guided tour. The Diary of Anne Frank, who died in the Holocaust at the age of 15, has been translated into more than 70 languages, and her name has become a symbol of hope worldwide and of "the will to live in the face of all difficulties". Her life story appeals to a wide range of people, and the museum, built in the family's hiding place, is visited by more than a million visitors every year. Jewish burial customs are all about life and survival. Jewish cemeteries are often called "houses of life": in death, too, they affirm life. This is why, in addition to historical commemoration, the exhibition is about the diversity of life: it presents the German-Jewish-Dutch identity of Anne and the Frank family, highlighting in a contemporary tableau that we all have a complex identity and respect for ourselves and the other is essential to living without judgment, fuelling the fire of each other's lives and not extinguishing it.
