Anne Frank's Neighbors: What Did They Do?

Past event
Sep 16, 2014, 6 to 7:30 PM

Although Anne Frank’s Diary is the most widely read nonfiction book in the world after the Bible, little attention has been paid to her neighbors – the people who lived alongside the Jewish population as the persecution intensified. Mary Fillmore examines the choices they faced and the decisions they made in the face of those choices. Why did some people ignore the situation, while others felt compelled to resist? What can we learn from them as we face the humanitarian crises of our own time?

Sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council
