In Autumn of 2018 we are proud to announce that we are working with the Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton and the Anne Frank Trust UK to bring the 'Anne Frank + You' exhibition to Somerset! The Exhibition features two main sections - the first focusing on the Second World War, the Holocaust and Anne Frank's story. The second looking into the hatred that led to these horrific events, and how similar forms of hatred and still present in modern-day society.
The Anne Frank + You will be arriving at the Brewhouse, Taunton on October 11th 2018 with the mayor of Taunton and the CEO of the Anne Frank Trust UK present for our opening ceremony. The Exhibition will be at the Brewhouse until the 27th November so make sure that you get yourself down to the Brewhouse - you really won't want to miss it.
We are also offering exclusive workshops for Schools, Colleges and Youth Groups so if you belong to one of these organisations, get in contact to find out how you can book a slot. Workshops, talks and other events will also be held at the Exhibition - further dates and details will be made available closer to the time. We are hoping to have sessions with the Avon and Somerset Police as well as workshop on the Power of Words.
The 'Anne Frank + You' will be free to attend and a donation box will be present for those wishing to make a donation.
