The last event for 2014, found me on home ground in West
London. A very welcome return indeed!
A fantastic job was done by our guides over the 2 weeks. Over a quarter of the prison
population visited the exhibition. The final day was a very special event
combining a talk from Dr Eva Schloss and a closing ceremony which was very well
attended by the Prisoners, Staff and Guests. The whole event was filmed
including interviews with prisoners and staff an was reported in the December
issue of the Jewish Chronicle. A wonderful 2 page spread.

An extremely good speech from deputy Governor David Redhouse
to round off the proceedings. Books and certificates were presented to
prisoners and it was the perfect end to a very exciting and eventful year for
the Anne Frank Prison Project.
We would like to especially thank Sarah Poynton, the
Diversity Manager and her colleague Lizzie Watson for doing such an amazing job
in organising and coordinating the event, in order for us to show the public
some of the very positive things that go on in prisons.
