Event details

Join us for an exhibition on the life of Anne Frank. By placing the complex historical events of the Holocaust against the backdrop of the life of one inspirational young person, the exhibition enables us to grasp the human consequences of persecution and war.

It covers themes such as Anne Frank's diary and the history of the Frank family, the introduction of the Nazi racist state, the victims and appalling consequences of the Holocaust, and the deliberate and organised nature of genocide.

The exhibition challenges us to think about how these issues are relevant today and what we can do to prevent prejudice and discrimination.

The Anne Frank Trust UK

Prejudice and discrimination harms individuals, communities and society. The Anne Frank Trust UK is an education charity that uses Anne Frank's life and diary to empower young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to challenge all forms of prejudice and discrimination.

It partners with schools, local authorities, criminal justice education services and others, to deliver education to young people in a variety of settings, predominantly in schools. Its interactive and impactful programme includes an exhibition of Anne Frank's life and diary, combined with workshops, peer education and an ambassador programme.
