"Yesterday all anyone here could talk about was Anne's eyes, because Mother had suggested I go to the specialist with Mrs Kleiman. Just hearing this made my knees weak since it's no small matter. Going outside! Just think of it, walking down the street! I can't imagine it"

Ambassadors Welcome Holocaust Survivor

Arek Hersh shares his story with Anne Frank Ambassadors

Anne Frank Ambassadors and Anne Frank Peer Guides at Bingley Grammar School met with Holocaust survivor Arek Hersh last week. 

Long term friends of the school, Arek and his wife received thoughtful gifts including a framed quote from Anne Frank's diary accompanied by messages detailing what the students had learnt from it. They were also presented with a copy of our 75th Anniversary brochure by student Mabel, who was featured in the brochure talking about her role as an Anne Frank Ambassador. 

Students heard Arek's story of being a young boy during the war, his time in Auschwitz and the loss of his entire family at the hands of the Nazis. 

It's wonderful to see our Ambassadors continue to learn about the Holocaust and the importance of kindness and respect.

The Year So Far

We have reached thousands of young people in hundreds of schools already this year.

As we enter into the second half of the year, it is a good time to reflect on what we have achieved so far.

Compared with 2021 whole-year figures of 41,433 young people, 775 schools - we're set to make a difference to an amazing number of young people in 2022.

A big congratulations to our education team who have worked so hard to reach so many young people across the UK.
