The motion

That the Parliament recognises the important work of the Anne Frank Trust Scotland in educating young people about Anne Frank and the horrors of the Holocaust, and in challenging antisemitism and all forms of prejudice; understands that the Anne Frank Trust Scotland was formed in 2008 and delivers programmes to young people between the ages of nine and 15, to help them gain an insight into antisemitism and apply their knowledge to modern day prejudice; notes that the Anne Frank Trust Scotland delivered these programmes to over 12,000 young people in Scotland in 2024, in 40 schools; recognises what it believes to be the importance of these programmes, which were found by the University of Kent to help 88.7% of participants become significantly more positive towards social groups different from themselves, including Jewish people, racial and religious minorities, LGBT+ people and refugees; notes that the Anne Frank Trust Scotland supports 21 young Anne Frank Ambassadors in schools across Scotland in creating an ongoing Holocaust remembrance and anti-prejudice presence in their communities; believes that, with the reported increase in antisemitism and prejudice, the work of the Anne Frank Trust is more important than ever, and hopes for its continued success in educating young people and building a more tolerant Scotland.
