£150k appeal to give National Memorial Arboretum garden honouring Anne Frank a makeover
Schoolchildren visited an extra special National Memorial Arboretum garden to remember wartime heroine Anne Frank, as a £150,000 fundraising appeal to restore it continues.
The event took place on Thursday (June 12) 80 years after Anne’s death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany and on what would have been her 96th birthday. Anne died of typhus, aged 15, shortly before the Second World War ended.
The children were guests of Home EdVenturers, an events group offering educational activities for home educated children and their families. They participated in a learning activity day, creating art and poetry honouring the Jewish war time diarist Anne and her impact on the world at the grounds near Lichfield.
