Anne Frank Day

EDM number 236 in 2013-14, proposed by Eleanor Laing on 12/06/2013.
Categorised under the topic of Cultural heritage.

That this House marks national Anne Frank Day, which today, 12 June 2013, would have been the 84th birthday of Anne Frank; welcomes the Anne Frank Trust's Thirteen in 13 campaign of letters from 13 year olds to the Prime Minister, which gives Britain's newest teenagers a voice at the highest levels of power and influence, thus encouraging their engagement in the political and democratic process, and giving them the confidence to help create a better society; and recognises the Anne Frank Trust's ongoing work with young people around the UK, notably the growing number of young Anne Frank ambassadors who are carrying forward the messages of Anne Frank's story.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
