This moving exhibition explores Anne Frank’s life within the larger history of the Holocaust and World War II.

A homage to the Pink Panther films, the story focuses on French inspector Peter Arkin, an incompetent but well-meaning man who is tasked with finding a missing jewel known as the Blue Fox as well as the culprit who murdered for it. Following a series of clumsy interrogations adulterous scandals, and encounters with his long-suffering co-workers, Arkin soon makes his way to a hotel casino where he believes the thief and murderer are both going to be revealed. Will he retrieve the jewel and the suspect, or will and old foe make an even bigger fool out of him once more?
