December 5th, 2008 -‘Anne Frank: A History for Today’ in partnership with The Mitchell Library

"The Mitchell Library hosted the ‘Anne Frank: A History for Today’ exhibition from 5th December 2008 – 11th January 2009.

The issues it highlights are very relevant to our world today and the exhibition and related workshops provide an excellent vehicle to prompt discussion among young people.
This was an extremely successful partnership with demand from schools to attend, simply overwhelming."
