Anne Frank, Lootera and Endless Life of Trees

<div>On May 18, 2016, students in Islington, north London, gathered to attend a tree-planting ceremony. It had a small plaque explaining that the tree had been planted “in the hope that the young people of Islington will live in a society of mutual understanding and respect for diversity”. The guest of honour was Dr Eva Schloss, an 87-year-old Auschwitz survivor, who saw the horse chestnut as “a symbol of hope”. But it was no ordinary tree. This week, we travel from Amsterdam to Dalhousie, and follow the story of Anne Frank, the meanderings of the Bollywood film Lootera, and what life lessons a solitary chestnut tree holds for us.</div><div>Till then Check out the other episodes of "Ireland Untravelled"</div><div>Lost Treasures, Dynamite and the Irish Nation : </div><a href="https://ivm.today/3okwxm5Gaelic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/3okwxm5Gaelic"><div>https://ivm.today/3okwxm5</div><div>Gaelic</div></span></a><div> and the stunning decline of the Irish Language : </div><a href="https://ivm.today/3zmhE9iTrinity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/3zmhE9iTrinity"><div>https://ivm.today/3zmhE9i</div><div>Trinity</div></span></a><div> Long Room and the Soul of the Irish Nation : https://ivm.today/3PnZkSE</div><div>U2, Body Snatching and the Irish Way of Death : https://ivm.today/3IQ6fl3</div><div>Bombay, Paris and the improbable victory for LGBTQ+ rights in Ireland : </div><a href="https://ivm.today/3AJLa9BIrish" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/3AJLa9BIrish"><div>https://ivm.today/3AJLa9B</div><div>Irish</div></span></a><div> roads that go nowhere, Houses no one lives in : https://ivm.today/3PGG95X</div><div>Titanic, Mosul and the Global shame of Western Museums : </div><a href="https://ivm.today/3R9uBceThree" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span data-auto-link="true" data-href="https://ivm.today/3R9uBceT
