Anne Frank in the World: 1929-1945

When I moved to Atlanta I worked for an insensitive moron who, knowing that I’m Jewish, said «the Holocaust didn’t happen.» (Tell that to my relatives who were killed…)
For this reason — and for many others — I am glad exhibits like this exist. I’ve been here before, and I’ll come here again. I was pleased to see people of various ethnicities visiting the center.
The presentation is well done through captioned photographs. There’s an informative 28 minute film and the people who volunteer are knowledgeable and respectful. There’s also a wall covering the atrocity of Japanese American internment camps.
If you’ve never come, please do. It’ll only take an hour. And it’s free.

A very well spent hour. Great reminder of the sacrifices made during this era… Excellent short movie and overall presentation. I was in and out, but there was never a dull moment…

I am a huge history buff and was excited to see there was an Anne Frank Museum here in Atlanta or Sandy Springs. I got there when they frist opened so I was able to throughly enjoy the museum with no interruptions and the two guys at the front desk were sooo helpful and took time out to tell me interesting story about a lady who was friends with Anne Frank and she saw herself in one of the photos the museum had. But they start you off with a film and there is artwork from kids about racism (not sure if its still there) and there are tons of photos. Now, I am more use to seeing ITEMS such as a desk or things like that but there were tons of photos and you just take your time and really absorb and look. Oh yeah, they did have a replica of what the attic would have looked like. Her room and bathroom and that was pretty cool.
And when you leave, you pull a piece of scrolled paper out of a cubby hole and it has one of her quotes from the book on there. That was pretty cool. If you like history and want to see pictures from WWII and Anne Frank, this is the place to come.

I have been to the actual house in Amsterdam, so there really couldn’t be anything new here. I was mistaken. I had not seen the wonderful half-​hour movie that details and summarizes the Anne Frank story. I learned a few things as well. They’ve really tuned it down so that it’s appropriate for the kids but it still gets the story across of this talented girl who was caught up and died during the Holocaust.
The museum is a simple storefront but they’re doing the best that they can with the materials they have. Nothing wrong with that and they’re doing a great job sharing this very important story. A room in the back to show the movie. A small area showing the pictures and life of an Atlanta native who was an Army documentarian and happened to be there to liberate some of the camps (William Alexander Scott III). And they’ve even managed to make a bookcase on a swivel that leads into a separate room that shows the story of the Franks.
Five stars, this is great. Everyone needs to be here. No excuses. This isn’t just a «Jewish» story.
I had a little trouble finding the place. The map pin puts it in the BACK of the shopping center, but it’s actually in the FRONT across from the Chipotle.

I saw this movie for this first time a few months ago and was amazed by this young woman and was shocked when I did a Google search just to learn more and somewhere along the way come the fact that there was this location, right here!
It is a small little place, but they use each square inch of area so wisely in great ways.
Both Gretchen O. and Paul P. leave perfect details that I find it hard to add much more. I agree with Gretchen in that everyone should take part of a day and come here, and if you have children, bring them as you will experience an amazing display of art from children in the Atlanta area who were touched when they learned about Anne Frank.

We had heard about this museum opening in Sandy Springs about a month ago and got there yesterday. It was bigger than expected, had a 30-​minute film, lots of photos, a model of the «annex» where the Franks hid, and a re-​creation of Anne’s bedroom. The guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
The museum is located here for a 3-​year run, and their success will be determined by interest and attendance – highly recommended that you visit. There are messages to learn that apply to current times.
