he Holocaust Memorial Center is
hosting the second annual Kappy
Family Anne Frank Art & Writing
Competition. The theme is “The Power
of Hope.”
The competition is open to students
in grades 9-12 in Oakland and Macomb
counties. The prompt for this year’s
competition, intended to inspire a
response in the form of art and writ-
ing submissions, is a quote by Anne
Frank, “Where there’s hope, there’s life.
It fills us with fresh courage and makes
us strong again.” The entry deadline is
Monday, April 9.
There is a compelling reason the
Kappy family supports the competi-
tion. Garry Kappy is the last surviving
member of his family. Born in Opatow,
Poland, Kappy was imprisoned in labor
camps when he was 15 years old. He
survived the horrors of the Buchenwald
and Auschwitz concentration camps.
While Kappy recognizes the importance
of memorializing the victims of the
Holocaust, he felt it was crucial to edu-

cate and help prevent future genocides.
Kappy’s son Irvin said, “The competi-
tion has confirmed to my father and
family that engagement and education
of well-meaning individuals is still the
best way to combat hatred and future
genocides.”
The competition includes three
art categories: drawing, painting and
photography. Submissions must be
two-dimensional and not exceed 18 by
24 inches. Art submissions must be sub-
mitted on black or white mat board and
accompanied by a 150- to 200-word art-
ist statement. Writing submissions must
fall into one of three categories: poetry,
fiction or non-fiction. These entries may
not exceed three, single-spaced pages
and must be submitted electronically as
.doc or .docx files. All entries must be
submitted by April 9; writing submis-
sions must be emailed to competition@
holocaustcenter.org by 11:59 p.m. that
day; art submissions must be post-
marked on or prior to April 9.
“Gov. Snyder signing a law requir-
ing Michigan public school students
in grades 8-12 receive education in the
Holocaust and other genocides has
made a tremendous impact in enlight-
ening our youth,” said Robin Axelrod,
HMC director of education. “The Kappy
Competition is a wonderful opportunity
for teens to use their individual creative
expression to convey the lessons learned
during their classroom instruction.”
First, second and third place prizes
will be awarded in each category. First
place will receive $250, second $125 and
$75 will go to those who place third. In
addition, the teacher and school of all
first-place winners will receive a $200
Amazon gift card. Following the May
17 award ceremony, winning artwork
will be displayed in a gallery at the
Holocaust Memorial Center and the
writing will be printed in a booklet.
