OUR PREDECESSOR ORGANIZATION, THE ANNE FRANK FOUNDATION, ORIGINATED IN NEW YORK CITY IN 1959 AND BEGAN AS AMERICAN FRIENDS OF THE ANNE FRANK HOUSE, WITH ANNES FATHER, OTTO FRANK, AS OUR FIRST PRESIDENT.

IN 2016 WE EXPANDED THE NAME TO THE ANNE FRANK CENTER FOR MUTUAL RESPECT, IN ORDER TO BETTER REFLECT THE HUMANITARIAN SPIRIT OF ANNES WORDS AND HER LEGACY. OUR MISSION REMAINS CONSTANT: SHARING THE IMPACT OF THE MESSAGE OF ANNES DIARY BY PROMOTING RESPECT FOR ALL HUMANITY.

DESIGNED TO PROMOTE EMOTIONAL, ACADEMIC, AND ARTISTIC GROWTH, THE PROJECT INCLUDES A 10-WEEK ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM FOR THE 3RD TO 5TH GRADE CLASSES, WITH THE GOAL OF ADDRESSING LITERACY, TOLERANCE, ANTI-BULLYING, CULTURAL AWARENESS, EMPATHY, AND RESILIENCY.

THE PROGRAM CULMINATES WITH AN ASSEMBLY AND FINAL EXHIBITION OF ARTWORK TO SHOWCASE THE STUDENT PROJECTS FOR PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND TEACHERS. FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE ANNE FRANK CENTER USA HAS PRESENTED OUR SIGNATURE THEATER PIECE, CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNE, AT THE FINAL ASSEMBLY. IN THIS SOLO PERFORMANCE PIECE, A PROFESSIONAL ACTRESS PORTRAYS ANNE, WITH TEXT TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM HER DIARY; SHE THEN REMAINS IN CHARACTER TO ANSWER STUDENTS QUESTIONS ABOUT HER TIME IN HIDING.
