Inscription

Anne Frank's tree
Planted on 12th June 1998.
The Worshipful The Mayor Councillor David Cunningham
'It's utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions... In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when I'll be able to realise them'. Anne Frank's Diary 15 July 1944.

To commemorate Anne Frank and all the children killed in wars and conflict in this century.
