In what would be the year of her 90th birthday, the exhibition\u00a0brings into focus Anne Frank’s messages for today’s generation.\u00a0The exhibition launch\u00a0was attended by young people, their parents,\u00a0and representatives from other interested organisations. It was\u00a0\u00a0officially opened by Eva Schloss, \u00a0Holocaust survivor and founder of The Anne Frank Trust, and Lord Provost of Glasgow, Eva Bolander. \u00a0There are panel boards with questions and reminders of the consequences of racism, hatred and discrimination suffered by the likes of Stephen Lawrence, and victims of the Rwanda genocide. There is a replica room, constructed to the very dimensions of the one where Anne would write her diary\u00a0 Digital displays and photographs illustrate the\u00a0 horrific brutal functionality inflicted by humans on other humans as they were\u00a0‘processed’ \u00a0towards their deaths.<\/p>\n

The launch evening on June 8th was coordinated by\u00a0young people from St Mungo’s Academy, Lourdes Secondary and Hillhead High School, who expertly hosted the evening, introducing speakers, providing entertainment and giving a vote of thanks. What a treat to listen to Eva Schloss,\u00a0whose family endured a similar fate, and has become inter-twined with\u00a0 the Frank family. Eva’s family fled Austria, and she described living in the ‘Hinterhaus’ in hiding, and\u00a0the friendship between herself and her brother, and Anne and\u00a0her sister. Although Eva and her mother survived the Holocaust, her\u00a0 father and brother did not.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Eva has not stopped sharing her message for the past 60 years and is especially focused on engaging with young people, to raise awareness of the devastating consequences\u00a0of prejudice and discrimination.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be of interested to all Vision Schools, as well as anyone interested in this aspect of citizenship, or Holocaust Education – please do try to make it along. Entry is free and it’s well worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
