Through the powerful lens of Anne Frank’s diary, we inspire the next generation to learn from the past, challenge prejudice and build a more compassionate and just future.

Building a more compassionate and just world.

Our transformative school programs use the power of education through the arts to teach the lessons of history and encourage young people to question, to speak out and to lead with compassion. By embracing creativity and the arts, we ensure Anne Frank’s legacy resonates in today’s world and inspires future generations to see beyond stereotypes and division, embrace our shared humanity, and recognize the profound impact of their choices.
