It draws on the life and diary of Anne Frank while featuring stories of inspirational figures who have challenged social injustice, including Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks and Mahatma Gandhi.

Val Ross, eastern regional manager for the trust, said: “In light of the recent spike in hate crime incidents, sadly Anne Frank’s message is still as powerful and relevant as ever.”

This exhibition has been organised in collaboration with the Peterborough Trades Union Council. It will be available to view from noon to 2pm weekdays and through the middle of the day on weekends.

Residents are encouraged to leave a message of peace and unity on the wishing tree supplied to us by local artist Jim Tovey. The exhibition launch takes place from 5pm today.
