Speaking after a reception by the Northern Ireland Friends of Israel held at the opening of the exhibitionat the Mill, Mr Beggs said: “The exhibition inspired by the Anne Frank diary has themes on identity, prejudice and racism, conflict and peace, moral responsibility and freedom and democracy, and I am sure that we all could learn something valuable from the exhibition, no matter what age we are.

“It is relevant to Northern Ireland given our experience and I would encourage individuals and indeed schools/groups to view the exhibition.

“ The Anne Frank Exhibition was first launched in London in June 2005, and this will be the only chance that visitors and locals to County Antrim will have to see the exhibition close at hand.”
