Anne Frank and the Remembering Tree

As part of our Sapling Project we are thrilled to welcome Rabbi Sandy Sasso, author of Anne Frank and the Remembering Tree, co-published with the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, one of our 11 Sapling sites. This beautiful picture book, told from the perspective of the tree itself, commemorates the majestic horse chestnut tree that once stood outside the Secret Annex, and tells the story of where the many saplings from the original tree found their new homes around the world. Join Rabbi Sasso for a reading and art workshop, followed by a discussion with Michael Bornstein, one of the youngest known survivors of Auschwitz. Michael and his daughter will talk about how his parents’ love and resourceful thinking—and some incredible twists of fate—led to his freedom. Seventy years after the war, Michael’s story is one of hope and optimism.
