A LIFE-SIZE replica of Anne Frank's bedroom has been created for an exhibition at Blackburn Cathedral.
Around 73 schools have booked to visit the exhibition which will include the "secret annexe" above business premises in Amsterdam where the Frank family, and four other Jews, spent more than two years in hiding before 1944.
Anne Frank was a teenage diarist who documented her life in hiding from the Nazis.
To reach the replica secret annexe room, visitors must pass through a multi-media display exploring the themes that dominated Anne's life and a tunnel on the Holocaust.
The exhibition, open all this month, has been launched by Thea Hurst, a Jew from Leipzig, who left Germany first for Warsaw and then for London, and kept a diary from 1939-1947.
