Sermon Illustrations for Advent 2 (2013)
Isaiah 11:1-10
In the summer of 2013 the Madame Tussauds wax museums in Berlin and Amsterdam added a life-size figure of Holocaust diarist Anne Frank. Re-created from photographs, Anne is sitting at her desk in her house of hiding in Amsterdam, writing in her diary. The museums are best known for their entertaining wax figures, but the curator cautioned, "It is important for Madame Tussauds that we don't just entertain but also play a role in educating people and help them learn from history."
