The Anne Frank Trust Shop

Quote of the month

9th July 1942

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.

Schools and Communities

 

Our Schools and Communities projects use the powerful messages drawn from the story of Anne Frank to help foster an understanding among today’s teenagers of positive citizenship, human rights, democracy and respect for the individual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The exhibition

 

At the centre of our work in schools and community venues is the project’s copy of the exhibition Anne Frank: A History for Today. This provides the historical backdrop to our educational activities and also creates a real sense of excitement in the school during the course of our visit.

 

Exhibition guide training

 

At each venue, a team of guides is trained to lead other students or members of the public around the exhibition. This training gives a good knowledge of the story of Anne Frank as well as experience in leadership and public speaking. 

 

Workshops

 

To supplement the exhibition, schools are offered a range of workshops delivered by Anne Frank Trust UK educators. Workshops currently offered include:

  • The history of the Holocaust - An introduction
  • The short life of Anne Frank - DVD and discussion
  • Free 2 Choose - human rights
  • Tackling bullying - drama and performance poetry

Talks and assemblies

 

Whenever possible we arrange for a Holocaust survivor to visit the venue to give a talk or assembly. We would like to sincerely thank all those who give freely of their time to offer young people the chance to hear personal testimony of the Holocaust.

 

Educators' pack

 

At each venue, we give the project co-ordinator a detailed information pack that helps in preparing for, managing and delivering follow up activities.

 

Follow up and evaluation 

We always encourage venues to carry out follow-up activities and ask co-ordinators to carry out evaluation of the work using surveys we provide.
