Members of Manchester City Council, sponsors of the Anne Frank + You Exhibition, joined representatives of the Gypsy, Gay, Muslim, Disabled, Jewish and Christian communities at an event that welcomed the exhibition to Manchester

Three Holocaust survivors were also present.

The Dean of Manchester Cathedral, The Very Revd Rogers Govender, said, “The Anne Frank Exhibition tackles contemporary issues such as bullying, racism and intolerance head on. We are delighted to be joined by representatives of diverse community groups in showing our support for the values of tolerance and inclusion that were so important to Anne Frank.”

Anne Frank, a Jewish victim of the Holocaust, was the victim of intolerance, prejudice, and racial hatred when she was forced into hiding from the Nazis during the Second World War. The Anne Frank + You Exhibition, which is open until 29 September at Manchester Cathedral, challenges the prejudices and injustices that people still face today as a result of race, religion, sexuality or disability.
