Anne Frank was 13 years old when she and her family went into hiding during World War II. She was 15 years old when she died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The years in between were chronicled in her now famous diary, and for a limited engagement have also been chronicled in a new exhibit on the third floor of the Learning Resource Center.

Holocaust survivor Elane Geller spoke at the City College Cultural Awareness Center on Sept. 15. She was imprisoned at Bergen-Belson at the same time as Frank, and although they never knew each other, Geller says she now speaks for Anne and all of the souls lost during this grave historical period.

Now 73, Geller spoke about her time in the prison camps and how she survived in the concentration camp. Even after all that she has experienced being imprisoned, and losing most of her immediate family to the Holocaust — she says she still feels the obligation to leave the world slightly better than she found it.

According to Geller there are approximately 350,000 Holocaust survivors still living today and the exact number may never be known. The average age of a survivor is 83. On average 100 Holocaust survivors die each day. At this rate, in 10 years survivors will cease to exist and she feels compelled to tell her story before this occurs.

City College student Lisa Linares Woodward says she came out a better person after seeing the exhibit and listening to Geller’s presentation.

“What I got from Elane’s message and story is simple: appreciate life and respect for all.”

According to Cultural Awareness Center coordinator Victoria Henderson, it took two years to work out the details and bring the Anne Frank exhibit to City College.

The Anne Frank exhibit will be on display until Oct. 10. The hours are Monday through Thursday 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2-7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
