Our flagship exhibition for use in larger venues
Anne Frank + You was launched in 2005 to give Anne Frank’s
story and message a contemporary profile for today.
It has a strong focus on the issues of identity and
moral choice we face in 21st century Britain, and is
suitable for adults and children from age 10
(Year 6) up.
Starting from Anne Frank’s writings and experiences,
the exhibition is a journey of self exploration for the
visitor. Themes that Anne wrote about in her diary,
such as racial hatred, war and conflict and the value
of democracy and freedom, are presented in an up to
date and contemporary fashion, along with filmed
interviews with British teenagers discussing their own views, concerns and hopes for the
future.
The exhibition includes:
• The Anne Frank photo album featuring poignant
photos of Anne and her sister Margot
• Replica artefacts from Anne’s life and the Holocaust
• The chilling 'genocide tunnel'
• A near-life-size replica of Anne’s bedroom in the Secret Annexe
• Powerful graphic imagery of the social issues affecting us in today’s Britain,
encouraging us to consider the similarities between the hopes, dreams and fears of Anne
Frank and today's young people.
How the exhibition can be used
The Anne Frank exhibition has always been a highly valued vehicle for explaining to
young people the value of democracy and a civil society. At the same time it helps local
authorities to publicly demonstrate their commitment to building a socially cohesive and
responsible young community.
