It adds context and poignancy to the extraordinary power of her famous diary.

Otto Frank’s photographs capture his daughters Margot and Anne as new born babies, playing with friends, enjoying days at the beach, occasions when Anne was an ordinary, happy little girl, unaware of the horrors which lay ahead and her role in re-counting them to the world.

The Cultural Fusions programme is funded under the European Union’s PEACE III programme managed on behalf of the Special EU Programmes Body by the North East PEACE III Partnership.

It is being delivered by the Cultural Fusions Consortium which is comprised of Ballymena Borough Council, Ballymoney Borough Council, Causeway Museum Service, Coleraine Borough Council, Flowerfield Art Centre, Larne Borough Council, Limavady Borough Council, the Mid-Antrim Museums Service and Moyle District Council.
