It was agreed that we’d go into hiding on 16 July. Because of Margot’s call-up notice, the plan had to be moved forward ten days, which meant we’d have to make do with less orderly rooms.

Africa's Hope in partnerhsip with Anne Frank Scotland

As part of the launch of Anne Frank Scotland, we were incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to work in partnership with Strathclyde Police and the Aegis Trust to bring Rwandan youth theatre group Mashirika to Glasgow.

The theatre group, made up of young people who have survived the Rwandan genocide performed ‘Africa’s Hope’, a stage presentation which uses dance and drama to tell their story to audiences who were over-whelmed by the talents of the performers and the power of their message.

This joint project was funded by Strathclyde Police and Superintendent David Stewart, head of the Diversity Unit at Strathclyde Police, hopes that the work will, “remind us that each new generation must face up to and challenge racism, prejudice and crimes motivated by hate”.

Inspector Ian McKim, Strathclyde Police Race Relations Co-ordinator, added "It was good to see that there was such a positive reaction to the highly professional presentation, and that the message of the evils of intolerance was shared by those representing our varied communities. Along with the pupils there were many there from our partnership organisations, all of whom are anxious to promote acceptance, integration and to challenge prejudice".

Heather Boyce, Programme Manager for Anne Frank Scotland said "We believe that this message continues to have a direct relevance to lives of young people living in Glasgow today, and we are delighted that Strathclyde Police have chosen to support such an inspiration and powerful project".

Anne Frank Scotland and Strathclyde Police are continuing to work in partnership with the production of a new series of panels for the Scottish Anne Frank History for Today Exhibition which was launched in Glasgow in September 2008 and has been already been seen by over 2000 people.

The exhibition will be touring Paisley in November 2008 and at the Mitchell Library, Glasgow during December 2008 and January 2009.
