Senior school pupils from Paisley Grammar School guided Renfrewshire's Provost Celia Lawson through the poignant exhibition charting the tragic story of Anne Frank and the Second World War at its launch at Renfrewshire Council's headquarters.

The exhibition has now moved to Paisley Grammar School where the team of guides will be taking younger pupils, including those from associated primary schools, through the Anne Frank story.

Over the following three weeks the Anne Frank exhibition will also move to Gleniffer High School, St Benedict's High School and Trinity High School.

The exhibition will be on show at a special event celebrating diversity through music in Paisley Museum in December.

Pupil Emma McLaughlin said: "Having visited Auschwitz in October, I am keen to learn more about the history of the persecution people suffered during World War Two.

"I am looking forward to sharing my experience with other people as a guide."

Renfrewshire was chosen to host the National Holocaust Memorial Day service following the success of its previous schools-led memorial events on National Holocaust Memorial Day and Armistice Day.

Heather Boyce, project officer for Anne Frank Scotland, said: "For many people, Anne Frank is a symbol of all those who died in the Holocaust and her diary continues to move and inspire people today just as it did when first published."

Provost Lawson, who has visited Auschwitz, added: "The theme of next year's National Holocaust Memorial Day is 'standing up to hatred' and the Anne Frank Exhibition is very much in keeping with this theme.

"It is vitally important that the lessons of history and, in particular, standing up to hatred are passed on to our younger generations."

Two services are to be held in Paisley Town Hall on January 27, one for schools in the morning and the main event for invited guests, including Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, in the evening.
