One of the most widely read books in the world is being brought to life in an exclusive free exhibition coming to Newham Town Hall, East Ham, this month.

Anne Frank + You tells the tragic story of a teenage girl, her family and their time in hiding in Nazi occupied Amsterdam during the Second World War. Using The Diary of Anne Frank as inspiration, the exhibition includes a life-sized replica of Anne’s bedroom and features newly discovered family photos, as well as a chilling Holocaust tunnel with original artefacts and powerful film footage. The cutting edge, multimedia exhibition takes the viewer to a bygone era and back to the present day, looking closely at the issues touched upon by Anne in her diary and how relevant these still are. Racial hatred, war and the value of democracy and freedom feature large, as well as contemporary issues of genocide, racism in football and hate crime. Anne Frank + You is one of Britain’s most popular touring exhibitions and aims to educate a generation as well as make an impact on issues such as racism. The exhibition also features filmed interviews with British teenagers who discuss their views, concerns and hopes for the future. Over more than three weeks, hundreds of residents and young people from Newham’s schools will have the chance to take an eye-opening journey into the past by visiting the exhibition at Newham Town Hall, E6. To support the exhibition more than 70 students from Newham’s sixth form colleges will become Anne Frank experts and develop an in-depth understanding about her life. They will be trained as exhibition guides and take other young people on guided tours.

Anne Frank + You is open 9am-5pm, every day from Tuesday 14 May to Thursday 6 June at Newham Town Hall, Barking Road, E6. Entry is free and no booking is required. For more information visit www.annefrank.org.uk/anne-frank-you-in-london

The story of Anne FrankAnne Frank was an ordinary Jewish girl born in Germany in 1929. When Hitler was elected in 1933 her family fled to Amsterdam for safety, but in 1940 the Nazis occupied the Netherlands and the nightmare caught up with them. Anne captured their time in hiding in her diary in which she secretly recorded a profound, honest and poignant account of her life. Under Nazi occupation, life for the family became more and more difficult. In 1942 they went into hiding in a secret attic rooms concealed by a bookcase in the Opekta Office building where her father Otto Frank worked. They lived in secret for almost two years but in August 1944 the family was arrested by German police, following a tip off by an informer. The Frank family was taken to Auschwitz. Otto was separated from his wife and daughters. Anne, who had turned 15, was spared the gas chamber. In October 1944 Anne and her sister were relocated to Bergen-Belsen and separated from their parents, who remained in Auschwitz. Tragically, in March 1945, just a few months before liberation, a typhus epidemic broke out in the camp. The Frank sisters died within days of each other. After the war, Otto, the only survivor, returned to Amsterdam. Some of the family’s possessions had been saved and Anne’s diary was returned to him. It was first published in 1947.

Discover hidden Newham

It’s a Newham Thing takes you on a journey through Newham’s secret nooks and crannies, from a pub that serves no booze to a jazz club hidden within a railway arch. Former University of East London graduate Rayna puts people at the heart of her art and her interactive website features vivid imagery and audio recordings of residents sharing anecdotes about the special places where they live. Whether she’s teaching young people at Rosetta Art Centre or making films in Gazza, Rayna’s work focuses on people, place and locality. She said: “I’m really interested in things on my doorstep. I want

to get people to re-engage and appreciate the things that are around us, the things that we tend to ignore or forget about.“I feel it’s my duty as an artist to get people engaged with what’s around them or see things in a different way, and that’s what the project is doing.”

What projects have you undertaken?I was artist in residence for six months at the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium, in Manor Park, the largest site of its kind in Europe, which is where we are today. It’s my favourite place in Newham. A lot of people have this taboo about cemeteries and death. I wanted to make a film that explored

this issue. I was given access all areas and got to speak to visitors and staff. The film was shown at Stratford Picture House.

How did It’s a Newham Thing come about?I came up with the idea for Your Place or Mine and applied for a council Go for It grant. Your Place or Mine is a celebration of people, place and locality. I created an exhibition using photographs of people and audio recordings. It was hosted at Grassroots Cnetre in Memorial Park. Newham NDP, who run the centre, loved the idea and helped me apply for Transformers Olympic Lottery funding.

It’s a Newham Thing was a natural progression from Your Place or Mine. I wanted to discover places that had a sentimental or nostalgic value, or locations that had personal stories attached to them. The result was an interactive map showing these places which are introduced by the people who choose them – each story starts with a story. I was only able to cover West Ham, Canning Town, Plaistow, Forest Gate and Stratford but the project is expanding and I’ll be taking it to the Royal Docks next month.

Which is your favourite place/anecdote from It’s a Newham Thing?That’s hard to say as they’re all so personal. I do love Mavis’s one; she used to deliver coal in Forest Gate. The dry pub in E15 is interesting. It’s not just a place to go and eat: they have music events and documentary nights. Arch 1 is also brilliant. It’s under one of the old railway arches in Canning Town, it’s like a jazz club that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to Berlin in the 90s.

If art is social commentary then Rayna Nadeem can affectionately be described as a chatterbox. The artist and filmmaker from Forest Gate is asking residents to shape her latest endeavour, It’s a Newham Thing. The interactive map is preserving people’s fondest memories and charting the changing face of the borough.

Property licences go through roof A massive 29,000 applications have so far been received by Newham Council for its pioneering private rented property licensing scheme. Newham is the fi rst borough in the country to license all private properties. The trail-blazing scheme was introduced at the beginning of the year. The council has to date issued 11,000 licences and is currently running at about 1,000 per week.

Newham to host Rugby World Cup 2015

Newham Council has welcomed news that the borough will be hosting matches at the Olympic Stadium during the Rugby World Cup in 2015.

The council and the London Legacy Development Corporation, through the E20 Stadium Partnership, have agreed with Rugby World Cup Limited and England Rugby 2015 for fi ve matches to be played at the Stadium in Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Newham will have a fan zone where residents and visitors can be part of the action when world champions New Zealand and teams from France, South Africa, Ireland and Italy amongst others play during September and October 2015.

Mayor Sir Robin Wales said: “Hosting Rugby World Cup 2015 is another marvellous community benefi t from our part ownership of the Stadium. It will allow us to show the best that Newham has to offer, inspire our community and boost the local economy and job creation.”

Off-licences selling super-strength lager face tough rules designed to curb crime and anti-social behaviour.

Since February nine applications by off-licences to open new stores or to increase hours at existing ones have been considered by Newham’s Licensing Sub-committee.

Five of those have been granted with tough conditions and four have been thrown out altogether because of concerns that granting them could lead to anti-social behaviour from drinkers. Conditions imposed on shopkeepers include a ban on the sale of single cans and a limit on the strength of alcohol sold on the premises.

Committee chair, Councillor Ian Corbett said: “If premises break the conditions, they are breaking the law. Make no mistake, we will enforce against them.

Tough restrictions have been imposed on a hotel after a series of violent incidents.

Newham’s Licensing Sub-committee reviewed the licence of the Forest Gate Hotel, Godwin Road, following complaints from police and residents that it was attracting anti-social behaviour.

Councillors demanded the introduction of tough new measures including CCTV cameras, a proof of age scheme, door supervisors, staff training and prominent signs that drug use will not be tolerated. The hotel management are making changes.

Councillor Ian Corbett, chair of the committee, said: “The current situation is utterly unacceptable and these tough new measures are designed to address this robustly and vigorously.”

Council gets tough on hotel

Young Mayor takes the lead in Berlin

Young Mayor of Newham Rebekah Dike has spoken to hundreds of young people from across Europe as part of an international event exploring youth participation.

Rebekah, a Year 10 student at Little Ilford School, Manor Park, was invited to take part in the opening seminar of the Multilateral Cooperation Project in Berlin in April.

Young people from countries including Lithuania, Poland, Israel and Germany took part in the seminar and workshops that aimed to tackle issues like how to involve young people in changing society.

Rebekah spoke on the challenges of youth participation in the UK. She said: “I was honoured to take part in such an important project. Newham has one of the youngest populations in England with nearly 40 per cent of residents under 25. This makes it even more vital that young people are not overlooked.”

Alice in Wonderland was brought to life by Stratford resident Adam Attew during a day of family fun.

People came together at the Play, Sow and Grow Community Centre in Gay Road, Stratford, with everyone dressing up as their favourite characters from the children’s fairy tale by Lewis Carroll.

The centre, which provides open-access and holiday schemes for children, provided tea tasting, cakes, fun and games and more. The free event was helped by a grant from Newham Council’s Let’s Get the Party Started programme.

Councillor Charlene McLean, from Stratford and New Town ward, said: “The centre is an important part of our community and events like this are a great way of bringing people together. We’ve got a great summer ahead of us and I hope more community groups will follow this wonderful example.”

Mayor’s view 06

With the sun starting to shine, many of you will have got your sports kit out ready for the new season. If you’re one of our youngsters taking part in Every Child a Sportsperson then you’ll already be out there using it! Maybe you’re among the hundreds of residents who have signed up to take part in the fi rst big post-Olympic event at the stadium - the National Lottery Anniversary Run, taking place on Sunday 21 July.

The exclusive opportunity for hundreds of residents to take part in this event for free wouldn’t have been possible had we not taken the decision to invest in the stadium. Hosting what is going to be one of the biggest mass-participation events of the summer is a direct return on that investment. I’m proud that we’ve been able to secure more than 1,000 of what have proved to be the hottest tickets in town. in addition to this, thousands of residents will be able to cheer on their friends and family as they cross the Stadium’s fi nish line. It was a really special moment to stand next to our Olympic champion

Mo Farah to announce the event. He is great to be around; genuine, dedicated and funny. In short, a role model for our young people to look up to. Mo hasn’t been back to the stadium since the Olympic closing ceremony and a lot has changed. We are working tirelessly to secure a lasting legacy from the London 2012 Games. This includes delivering a range of community benefi ts and fulfi lling the key promises of the 2012 Games to inspire a generation and

encourage more young people to take up sport. If getting involved in sport is a bit much, then I hope you’ll join in the celebrations for the Rugby World Cup which I am delighted to confi rm is coming to our borough in 2015. We’re hosting some of the Fan Zones which will feature live entertainment, food, culture and music. We can’t bring the Olympics back but we can keep the spirit of last summer alive by joining in the fun.

Get ready to run

On your marks. Mayor Sir Robin and Mo Farahlaunch the National Lottery Anniversary Run

“I’m proud that we’ve been able to secure 750 of what have proved to be the hottest tickets in town.”

Why Anne Frank mattersThe story of Anne Frank may be decades old but it is as important today as ever. She died from typhus in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, aged 15, one of the millions of lives destroyed by the Holocaust. But she lives on through the diary she kept which vividly describes life with her family hiding in what became known as the Secret Annex. With the Anne Frank Trust we are recreating that room where she spent two years of her life as part of the Anne Frank + You exhibition, which will

run at Newham Town Hall, East Ham from 14 May to 7 June. As well as helping to explain the real life experiences and tradegies of the Nazi Holocaust, the exhibition also focuses on the need in the present day to tackle bigotry and promote tolerance and understanding. We must guard against prejudice in all forms in our community and take inspiration from Anne Frank’s message of hope. I hope you will take the time to visit this free exhibition. Turn to page 10 to fi nd out more.

Bowled over by our youngstersOur youngsters are already making their mark on the sports fi eld. The pupils at Elmhurst Primary School in Forest Gate have beaten our own England international Ravi Bopara by being the fi rst cricketers from Newham to play at Lords this year. They won the fi nal of the British Land Capital Kids competition beating schools from across London. It’s a fantastic achievement and I was delighted to see them in action – as well

as their magnifi cent trophies. Sport is so important for fostering team spirit, communication, planning and a sense of achievement. The Olympic legacy is about more than football or athletics; we

promised a legacy for the whole community and this is a great example. They are also wonderful ambassadors for their families and Newham. Well done everyone!

Newham runs the Olympic StadiumDouble gold medal-winning athlete Mo Farah returned to Newham last month where he and some special sporting guests helped launch the National Lottery Anniversary Run, which will see thousands of residents get exclusive access to the fi rst event in the Olympic Park since the 2012 Games.

Taking place on Sunday 21 July, the fi ve-mile course will take in iconic venues in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, fi nishing with competitors running on the track in the Olympic Stadium. Within days of the applications opening almost 10,000 places were snapped up by running enthusiasts. Exclusively, Newham residents have 750 places in the fi ve-mile run, with a further 350 places in the one-mile family fun, which also culminates on the stadium track and all for free. All adult participants can invite up to two supporters along to cheer them on as they cross the fi nish line and follow in the footsteps of sporting idols including Usain Bolt, Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah. Speaking at the launch, Mo, the sporting world’s golden guy, said: “It’s amazing to be back in Newham. My club [Newham and Essex Beagles] is not far from here and I’ve competed in the stadium and have won my medals here. “It’s awesome that the National Lottery are hosting the anniversary run here. It

gives the public, the people who came and cheered us on during the Games, the chance to come and compete in the same stadium. People always ask what it was like to run here and now they have the chance to experience it for themselves.” Mayor Sir Robin Wales helped launch the run with Mo, basketball player Dominique Allen, synchronised swimmer Yvette Baker, rower Sophie Hoskins and wheelchair basketball player Maddie Thompson. He said: “The National Lottery Anniversary Run will give residents exclusive access to an amazing sporting opportunity and the chance to compete on the same record-breaking track as the heroes of the 2012 Games. “We are working tirelessly to secure a lasting legacy from the Games for our residents. This is the fi rst community benefi t from our part ownership of the Olympic Stadium and fulfi ls the key promises of the 2012 Games to inspire a generation and encourage more people to take up sport.”

One of the most widely read books in the world is being brought to life in an exclusive free exhibition coming to Newham Town Hall, East Ham, this month.

Anne Frank + You tells the tragic story of a teenage girl, her family and their time in hiding in Nazi occupied Amsterdam during the Second World War. Using The Diary of Anne Frank as inspiration, the exhibition includes a life-sized replica of Anne’s bedroom and features newly discovered family photos, as well as a chilling Holocaust tunnel with original artefacts and powerful fi lm footage. The cutting edge, multimedia exhibition takes the viewer to a bygone era and back to the present day, looking closely at the issues touched upon by Anne in her diary and how relevant these still are. Racial hatred, war and the value of democracy and freedom feature large, as well as contemporary issues of genocide, racism in football and hate crime. Anne Frank + You is one of Britain’s most popular touring exhibitions and aims to educate a generation as well as make an impact on issues such as racism. The exhibition also features fi lmed interviews with British teenagers who discuss their views, concerns and hopes for the future. Over more than three weeks, hundreds of residents as well as young people from Newham’s schools will have the chance to take an eye-opening journey into the past by visiting the exhibition at Newham Town Hall, E6. To support the exhibition more than 70 students from Newham’s sixth form colleges will become Anne Frank experts and develop an in-depth understanding about her life. They will be trained as exhibition guides and take other young people on guided tours.

Plans to bring University College London (UCL) to Stratford’s Carpenters Estate have been called off, but Newham Council remains committed to redeveloping the site. In 2011, Newham Council and UCL agreed to explore bringing the renowned university to Stratford. Following intensive and lengthy analysis, both parties have been unable to agree commercial terms. UCL and Newham shared a vision of the university developing a campus on the Carpenters Estate. The area was identifi ed as an appropriate site for the proposed development following Cabinet decisions in 2004 and 2009 to relocate residents and demolish the main tower blocks on the estate due to the excessive cost of refurbishment work needed. The UCL development would have seen a new, world-class university quarter of the highest architectural quality providing academic and research facilities and new residential accommodation. This project would have also delivered positive change for Newham residents through £1billion of capital investment, the creation of thousands of new jobs in the area and increased access to fi rst-class education facilities.

Since 2004 a rehousing programme has been in place which has seen more than half of the estate’s residents housed elsewhere. The council is in talks with the remaining residents regarding their options. Jo Negrini, Newham Council’s director for strategic, regeneration planning and Olympic legacy said: “UCL is one of the world’s leading universities. We are disappointed that we were unable to bring UCL Stratford to the Carpenters Estate. The council remains supportive of UCL establishing a major presence in Stratford. “We recognise that this decision will bring further uncertainty for the remaining residents of the estate. We have already written to each one to explain these developments and invited them to discuss any concerns they may have. “Newham Council remains committed to redeveloping the Carpenters Estate and will now explore other options to take this forward. “A number of parties have expressed an interest in working with Newham

Council to help regenerate the Carpenters Estate. These were not pursued while we were in exclusive negotiations with UCL. We will now reopen these discussions with these and other parties.” The council’s decision to regenerate the Carpenters Estate was set out in the Stratford Metropolitan Masterplan which was agreed in 2010. The plan outlined the council’s ambition for the area to be transformed into an integrated Metropolitan Centre for East London including 46,000 new jobs, 20,000 new homes, new schools, shops, leisure facilities, local services and better transport connections. The plan also identifi ed four key proposals, including taking forward the fi rst phase of redevelopment of the Greater Carpenters Neighbourhood.

Be proud of your neighbourhoodWe’re encouraging people like you to take pride in your borough. If you have an idea to improve your neighbourhood we could help make it happen with a grant of up to £250.

Whether you want to hold a plant and seed swapping day to beautify your street’s front gardens, start a mosaic making project to brighten up a local wall, or have a community clean up, as long as the activity is open to all, you could receive funding from the Let’s Get the Party Started (LGtPS) community grant fund. Organising and taking part in a community event could help you to learn new skills and make new friends, as well as improving the look of your neighbourhood. A bright ideaLast year, Alison Russell organised a spring bulb competition with the children of Earlham Primary School in Forest Gate. She successfully applied to LGtPS for some gardening equipment, a storage chest and bulbs. Around 150 children took part by each planting a bulb and taking it home. This year they brought them back to school to be judged by the London Children’s Flower Society, who handed out certifi cates for the winner and runners up. The children then planted the bulbs in their gardens.

Celebrating St George’s DayResidents in Plaistow made the most of the recent fair weather with a St George’s Day barbeque. Organised by Terry Wylde, chairman of the Victoria Residents Association, more than 40 people enjoyed an afternoon of sunshine and delicious food thanks to funding from LGtPS. Terry said: “Our fi rst LGtPS event was a Christmas party. Until we saw the feature in the Newham Mag we never considered having a St George’s Day event. “We celebrated all things English, like cricket and football, with a special display in our block and everyone enjoyed the barbeque we had in our recently transformed community garden. “We’re already thinking abut our next event. We have three other blocks near ours and they want to join in too, so the next event will be even bigger.”

Measles: join the spotsPolka dots might be a hot fashion this season, but there are some red spots you don’t want.

Measles is often thought of as a disease of the past. There used to be hundreds of thousands of cases of measles in the UK each year, but after the introduction of vaccination this fell to around 200 cases each year. However in other parts of the country, measles has been increasing over the past two years and there have been 587 confi rmed cases in the fi rst three months of 2013. Vaccination is the only way to prevent it. Uptake of the Measles,

Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine was at its lowest between 1998 and 2003 when there was concern about a false link between autism and the MMR vaccination. Experts believe the current rise in measles cases can mostly be attributed to unprotected ten to 16 year olds, who missed out on vaccination during that period. This is why a catch-up programme is being started. Although the number of measles cases in Newham is currently low, between now and the end of the summer GP practices will be contacting families of children between the ages of ten and 16 where clinical records indicate that they may have missed one or both of the MMR vaccinations. If you are unsure about whether your child has had both doses, check your child’s red book or contact your GP.

How to spot measles

Measles starts with cold-like symptoms which are followed by a rash, high fever, red eyes and a cough. It can be particularly severe in babies, teenagers and older people, especially those who have a weakened immune system. In these groups, measles can lead to pneumonia, ear infections, diarrhoea and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Up to one in fi ve children who get measles are hospitalised.

A picture of successWith almost 2,000 entries, the School Attendance Matters (SAM) competition showed that Newham’s children really do think school attendance matters.

Ammarah, nine, of Southern Road Primary School won the competition, because the judges liked the idea of Sam the Attendasauras, and the caption – “Come to school and be a roaring success”. Her prize was an iPad. Ammarah couldn’t have been a more appropriate winner, because just four days before she won the competition, she received a 100 per cent attendance certifi cate. When the winning letter came Ammarah didn’t know what it was and gave it to her mother to read, but when her mother showed her what it was they both jumped

up and down and screamed. Ammarah who likes art tried out many ideas before coming up with the winning one. She said: “It’s a dinosaur. Because it’s a dinosaur, the end is ‘asaurus’ so I put ‘attend’ at the start and called it the Attendasaurus.” Ammarah is so keen on school that she wants other children to go too. She says: “I think the Attendasaurus will help because the dinosaur will tell people to come to school every day and not miss any days.” Head teacher Stephanie Lachowycz said: “We are all really proud of Ammarah winning. It has had an impact on the whole school, all our children have been inspired to try even harder.” Sam the Attendasaurus will be visiting schools around Newham a little later in the year and rewarding children for good attendance and punctuality. This is important because it has been shown that good attendance is linked to good attainment.

PoemCancer

This amazing poem is about an evil disease.It eats your loved ones inside little by little.It’s unstoppable if you get it, you won’t be saveable.It brings a lot of sadness and fear for your loved ones. I love my grandma, I love her stories.Sometimes they are boring but I still listen because she is caring.I could sit with her for hours being happy, it’s true.She loves me even if I am bad and she never gets mad.She is welcoming day and night, she will never give you a fright.She cares for you when you are in need of help and is always generous it is amazing. I feel this feeling should never end, but I see her sad sitting in her bed.Fear, helplessness and anger in her head, I’ll love her, care for her until the end.I don’t wish that to anyone.I’ve seen what it has done to my happy, cheerful family.I hope there will be a miracle and doctors can take away the evil disease from my grandma.I love her and want to see her happy.
