For Jewish teenager Anne Frank (Ellie Kendrick), her diary is her one true friend and confidant. In it, she records the thoughts of a typical teen — only set against a backdrop of encroaching evil in Amsterdam during World War II. Stowed away behind a bookcase in a secret annex with her family and others to flee the Nazis, Anne experiences her time in hiding as an adventure. And, amidst closed quarters and random bomb blasts, Anne faces friction with family, a desire for independence and the first stirrings of young love. As Anne's identity solidifies, so does her resolve to be a writer — her diary a tangible and remarkable record of a young woman's first-hand observations of the Holocaust, and the innate goodness she still sees in people. Drawing on Anne Frank's own words in the most accurate-ever adaptation of the revered memoir, Masterpiece presents The Diary of Anne Frank on Holocaust Remembrance Day, 2010.

A 30 minute informal discussion with 3 McDowell High School students who have participated in the Holocaust Museum Day Trip over the past two years. Rather than a "professional" analysis, this program is a discussion of the trip from the students' perspective and includes photos taken by students as well as museum material.
Dave Hoderny teaches Tolerance 101 at McDowell High School.
These bus trips are paid for by the Jewish Community Council of Erie. The JCC sends 2 busses of students from McDowell each year to Washington DC.

For more than half a century, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has worked to help make Israel more secure by ensuring that American support remains strong. From a small pro-Israel public affairs boutique in the 1950s, APIAC has grown into a 100,000 member national grassroots movement described by The New York Times as "the most important organization affecting America's relationship with Israel."
As America's leading pro-Israel lobby, APIAC works with both Democratic and Republican political leaders to enact public policy that strengthens the vital U.S.-Israel relationship. With the support of its members nationwide, AIPAC has worked with Congress and the Executive Branch on numerous critical initiatives - from securing vital foreign aid for Israel to passing legislation aimed at stopping Iran's illicit nuclear program.
