Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.”

"As an amateur photographer, Otto Frank focuses on a single theme: the life and times of his family, wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot. Nothing we see in the snapshots of daily life captured by Otto Frank – one of the first users of the 35mm Leica camera - reveals the horrors the Frank Family will later endure."
"Through a unique partnership with the Leica Gallery, The Anne Frank Center USA presents Anne Frank: A Private Photo Album on view from September 22, 2010 through October 30, 2010.
Featuring 70 black-and-white photographs, many of which have only recently been discovered, this exhibition provides viewers with an intimate glimpse into Anne Frank’s life as a young girl."

Certainly a bittersweet collection - that first one is wonderful.
This is going to be amazing exhibition. I wish I could visit it and see myself.
Thank you for sharing!
Life looks so normal for the family. Wow.
Great,Saludos.
I like the firs photo so much!!
in light of her records-these photographs take on a meaning deeply
beyond what is otherwise everyone's family photographs. Haunting & joyous too.
seeing those photos of happier times while knowing what is soon to happen is heart wrenching...
I hope this exhibition makes it to London!
Knowing who she is makes the photographs so intense. It's like I can't see enough of her.
