FULNECK pupils had an important role to play acting as guides for a travelling Anne Frank exhibition when it came to their school as part of a nationwide tour.
The independent school in Pudsey played host to the 30 panel ‘Anne Frank: A History for Today’ display provided by the Anne Frank Trust which has visited by a number of schools in the area.
Fulneck Junior School teacher Gemma Zincke said: “We have been honoured to host this exhibition on behalf of the Anne Frank Trust.
“Over the last few weeks the pupils have been studying the tragic tale of Anne Frank, who kept a diary after she and her family were forced into hiding when the German army occupied Amsterdam, and continued their persecution of the Jews. The exhibition consisted of 30 panels with each depicting a different aspect of her life, and ultimate death, in Belsen concentration camp." aged just 16. It is a harrowing, yet compelling, tale and one that every child should learn about.
Every year more than 30,000 young people in the UK benefit from the Anne Frank Trust’s educational programmes.
Its schools programme takes the poignant messages of Anne’s life and diary and helps students understand the damage caused by prejudice and hatred.
