During the summer of 2010, Ball spent forty-seven days in Europe, studying Anne Frank’s life in depth, including researching World War II, the history of the Holocaust, and the history of the Jews in Europe since 1200 A.D. Since returning, Ball has continued her grant project by teaching programs to students, service clubs, and social organizations. All information Ball will present is based on research during her European travels, as well as personal interviews from Holocaust specialists and Holocaust survivors, and will include posters, photographs, and artifacts.
