In this experiential learning project, students in Dutch/Judaic 351 Anne Frank in Context visit the Anne Frank Tree Exhibit at the Detroit Holocaust Memorial Center. They will be in the presence of a sapling of the chestnut tree that Frank watched from her Amsterdam hiding place and described in her Diary. Afterward they will have a conversation with a Holocaust survivor. The combined experience builds a bridge to a far away time and place, and makes an unimaginable form of discrimination and persecution tangible and real to students.
