This Book Club will examine the events and book, The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank.  We will have both discussions and tours throughout these five sessions.  
*We would like for participants to read the Diary as we meet, but we will provide reviews and background information for those who can't read it.  The discussion will flow based on the topics addressed in the diary. 

The first session will provide an introduction to the book and the historical events of that time period.  We will then go and visit the Kristallnacht Exhibit created by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. 
We will begin at Virtual Pioneers Headquarters and then go to the Museum from there.
STARTING Point:  HERE
