Anne Frank ein Mädchen schreibt Geschichte

From May 3rd to 25th, the traveling exhibition "Your Anne. A Girl Writes History" will be on display at the Basilica in Prüm. The exhibition at the Anne Frank Center Berlin focuses on the life story of Anne Frank and, in this context, also addresses the topics of anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination. A particular focus of the exhibition is on educational work with young people. School classes have the opportunity to visit the exhibition as part of daily tours. These tours are led by specially trained young people, so-called "peer guides." The peer guides, who are students from all participating schools, facilitate dialogue on an equal footing and encourage active engagement with the exhibition's themes.

In addition to the tours, there is a diverse accompanying program for school classes. It includes project days, workshops, discussion groups, and mornings at the cinema with evaluation discussions. The accompanying program for the exhibition includes a diverse range of events, including readings, lectures, concerts, and film screenings.

Highlights include: An Experiment: Images of the Future (May 6, 7:00 p.m., former barn at the seminary): An interactive workshop exploring how we want to shape our future. Hope for Tomorrow (May 10, 2025, 7:00 p.m., Prüm Basilica): An evening with Bible stories, music, and prayers for peace.
