Pierceton Elementary School teacher Michelle Ball received a grant from the Indiana Lilly Endowment. This grant is funded under the Lilly 2010 Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program. During summer 2010, Ball will retrace the footsteps of Anne Frank, traveling to Anne's birthplace in Frankfurt, Germany, and to Prinsengracht 263, the secret annex where the Frank family went into hiding in 1942. Ball will also visit Hannover, Germany, where Anne died at the Bergen-Belsen camp and then travel to Poland, studying Auschwitz II-Brikenau, and the location where Otto Frank was liberated by the Russians in January 1945. All of this is in an effort to keep the memory and lessons of Holocaust history alive and to teach students concepts that will forever change their world view.
