No Asylum - The Untold Chapter of Anne Frank’s Story was screened in the UK for the first time, at Conway Hall in London.

Pictured are Auschwitz survivor Eva Schloss, Anne’s posthumous stepsister who appears in the film, with its producer Paula Fouce, who held a Q&A session after the screening, and MC Malcolm Stern.
