Our spring concert presents a musical journey focusing on Anne Frank’s diary, which is an incredibly important historical and literary document because it offers a deeply personal, firsthand account of life during the Holocaust through the eyes of a young Jewish girl in hiding. Her honest reflections, hopes, fears, and observations humanize the immense scope of World War II and give voice to millions who were silenced. The diary not only highlights the brutal realities of persecution but also reveals Anne’s resilience, intelligence, and enduring belief in human goodness, making it a vital tool for education on tolerance, empathy, and the consequences of hatred. Our selected music speaks to those emotions, as well as the unyielding hope that often transcends tragedy.
