A Summer of Extraordinary Experiences
at Our Extraordinary Museum!

Race to Win lets children and families
experiment with the real science,
technology, engineering, and math
concepts used in auto racing, using
Hot Wheels cars and track as tools.
Produced by The Children’s Museum
in partnership with Mattel, Inc.,
Hot Wheels: Race to Win debuts in
Indianapolis and then begins a five-year
tour of children’s museums across North
America. Destined to become a family
favorite, it will return to The Children’s

will enrich the experience, including
fragments of the Dead Sea scrolls, a

Tuesday through Sunday at 1 and 3 p.m.
ASL-interpreted performance Aug. 1, 1 p.m.
45 minutes; ages 5 and up
You and your family will love this Caribbean musical
adaptation of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy
tale! It’s a big day on the tiny island of Little Iguana: it’s
young Jasmin’s birthday. Her wish is to spend the day
making sand castles and to try on the beautiful sash her
father bought for her. But the Emperor sets all the fashion
standards and poor Jasmin’s big day doesn’t stand a chance
against the thrills of the runway. Then a “magic” tailor
swims ashore and he has his own ideas for a clothing
line. This charming version features songs in Caribbean
calypso, reggae, and ska styles, which all help to make the
point that clothes don’t make the human!
Summer featured show

Anne Frank and the Remembering Tree
The Story Behind the Book
Written for children 6 to 9 years
old, it tells Anne’s story from
the tree’s perspective, moving
from the days before the Nazi
occupation of the Netherlands,
to the day the Franks were arrested,
to Otto Frank’s recovery of Anne’s
diary, to the establishment of the
Secret Annex as The Anne
Frank House.
Sasso, a nationally recognized
author, wanted to write the book
as soon she learned that the first
sapling from Anne’s tree planted in
the U.S. would be in Indianapolis
on the grounds of The Children’s
Museum. The sapling was planted
in 2013.
This is the story of Anne Frank and her sister Margot, who loved a tree,
and the tree that promised never to forget them.
I
magine that for two full years all
you had was one window, and
all you could see of the outside
world were rooftops, a majestic tree
set against the sky, and occasionally
a bird or two flying by.
From 1942 to 1944, Anne Frank,
her family, and others hid from
the Nazis in a Secret Annex in
Amsterdam. During those years,
the branches and leaves of a large
horse chestnut tree were almost
all Anne and her sister Margot
saw of the city where they once
played and went to school.
22
Because of Anne and her diary,
the world remembers that horse
chestnut tree. Now, thanks to Rabbi
Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, we can
imagine what that very special
tree knew about Anne in her new
children’s book, Anne Frank and
the Remembering Tree.
Selected to receive a sapling by
The Anne Frank Center USA,
the museum was chosen because
of its commitment to continuing
education about tolerance,
including the groundbreaking
exhibit The Power of Children:
Making a Difference. Anne Frank,
Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White
are the three children whose
stories of courage in the face of
discrimination are told through
the exhibit.
As Sasso’s book began to take
shape, she learned new things
about the Frank family’s story,
including something that surprised
her: Margot also kept a diary.
“That diary was lost,” Sasso said
recently, “so it was important for
me to reference it in the story.
Margot also had a full, rich life,
and we need to remember that.”
In August 1944, Nazis raided
the Secret Annex and the Franks
were sent to concentration camps,
where all but Otto perished. When
he returned to Amsterdam, his
friend Miep Gies gave him Anne’s
diary, which she had recovered after
the raid. It was published in 1947,
and in 1960 the Secret Annex was
opened to the public as The Anne
Frank House, a historic house and
museum, where people from all
over the world could come and see
the tree and remember Anne,
Margot, and all who suffered and
died during the Holocaust.
The Importance
of Remembrance
Weakened by disease, Anne’s
170-year-old horse chestnut tree
was blown down in a storm in 2010.
Fortunately, the Anne Frank
Center USA had already launched
the project to plant saplings
throughout the United States. As
the tree tells us in Anne Frank and
The Remembering Tree, “I was
just one tree, but now I am
many. People planted my
saplings in places around
the world as reminders
of what happened
to Anne and Margot.”
Sandy Eisenberg Sasso is an
award-winning author of 13
children’s books. Rabbi Emerita of
Congregation Beth-El Zedeck, she
is presently the director of The
Religion, Spirituality and Arts
Initiative at Butler University. There
are more than half a million copies
of her books in print.
Anne Frank and the Remembering
Tree was illustrated by Erika Steiskal,
a Seattle-based artist and recipient
of a gold medal from the Society of
Illustrators in Los Angeles.
23
Remembrance is at the core of the
book. Anne Frank has been gone
for 70 years, but as Sasso says,
“Just when we think nothing is
left, there is still the story. When
we tell a person’s story, that life is
renewed. Even though Anne is
gone, her words and her story
remain.” The same is true of
Anne’s tree, she notes. “There
might have been nothing left,
but instead there are places
to remember.”
Anne Frank and The Remembering
Tree was published by The
Children’s Museum of
Indianapolis and Skinner
House books. It is available
in The Children’s Museum Store
and through major bookstores.
The author, The Children’s
Museum, and Skinner House books
are grateful to Lori Efroymson and
the Efroymson Family Foundation
for their generous support, which
made the book possible, and for
their vision for a better future for
all our children.
