Anne Frank Awards 2008
On Wednesday 16th July 2008, over 300 guests attended the star studded Anne Frank Awards in the beautiful BBC Radio Theatre. The Awards honoured 2008's inspirational winners - young people and educators who have shown great personal strength, moral courage and determination to stand up for what is right, and who have made a real difference in their community.
Ade Adepitan hosted the event and the awards were presented by a range of celebrities, including Mo George (Gus from Eastenders), Georgia Slowe (Emmerdale), Nathaniel Parker (Inspector Linley), John Pienaar (BBC political correspondent), Dean Andrews (Life on Mars) and Tamsin Greig, who plays Edith Frank in the forthcoming BBC drama of The Diary of Anne Frank.
