MISSION
The Anne Frank Center USA, a partner organization of the
Anne Frank House, uses the diary and spirit of Anne Frank as
unique tools to advance her legacy - to educate young people
and communities in the U.S. and Canada about the dangers
of intolerance, antisemitism, racism, and discrimination and to
inspire the next generation to build a world based on equal
rights and mutual respect.
ABOUT THE AWARDS
The Spirit of Anne Frank Awards recognizes worthy
students, educators, citizens, peacemakers and role
models who participate in social and humanitarian efforts
to engender understanding, equality and mutual respect
among diverse groups.
HELPERS, HEROES AND LIBERATORS
Spring 2015 marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation
of the Nazi death camps, the death of Anne Frank and the end
of the Second World War in Europe. To commemorate these
monumental events which altered the course of history, The
Anne Frank Center USA will present two special exhibitions
and a series of programs that honor the victims, survivors
and “upstanders” of World War II - the helpers, heroes and
liberators. By focusing on personal stories of Holocaust
survivors and the righteous rescuers who helped so many, the
Center will honor the memory and legacy of Anne Frank and
all those who perished 70 years ago. These programs reaffirm
our commitment to ensure that new generations know this
essential history, understand tolerance and learn to apply the
lessons of the Holocaust to today’s world.
