An Anne Frank exhibition is scheduled to come to Dundalk this September.

The exhibition, which is run by the Anne Frank Trust in the UK, creates a journey of self-exploration for visitors of Anne’s life.

Anne Frank was one of 1.5 million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Following Anne’s death in 1945, her father, Otto Frank, chose to publish his daughter’s diary in order to spread understanding of her tragic story – with the book selling millions of copies over the decades since its publication in 1947.

The exhibition includes poignant personal photos of Anne and her sister Margot, replica artefacts from Anne’s life and the Holocaust, the chilling genocide tunnel, a near life-size replica of Anne’s bedroom in the Secret Annexe and powerful imagery of modern day social issues.

Full details of the exhibition will be unveiled closer to the time.
