Mission Statement
The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect honors Anne Frank and the continuing relevance of her diary to educate young people and communities in the US about the dangers of intolerance, anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination, and to inspire every generation to build a world based on mutual respect.
About This Cause
Historically, the Anne Frank Center has long-established roots and a universal message that spans geographic and political borders. For years Otto Frank sought to raise awareness of Anne's story in the United States and support for the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, which opened to the public in 1960. The Anne Frank Fonds, based in Basel, Switzerland, is the Frank family's universal heir and devotes itself to the distribution of the Diary of Anne Frank. Distinct from these important partner institutions, the Anne Frank Center USA secured official 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in New York in 1977. Nearly four decades later, in 2016, we expanded the name to the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, in order to better reflect the humanitarian spirit of Anne Frank's words and legacy. The Anne Frank Center honors the legacy of Anne Frank and the continuing relevance of her diary, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. Central to our mission, we offer educational programs, traveling exhibits, theatrical performances, and annual scholarships to bring her message to new generations and honor those inspired to humanitarian action through her words. We also partner with community members and other organizations to promote education, combat intolerance, defend human rights, and remember those lost through senseless tragedy.
