The Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House was established on May 3, 1957, with the close involvement of Anne’s father, Otto Frank. It is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of Anne Frank’s hiding place and her diaries, and to spreading the message of her life and ideals worldwide.
On the basis of Anne Frank’s life story, set against the background of the Holocaust and the Second World War, the Anne Frank House develops educational programs and products with the aim of raising young people’s awareness of the dangers of anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination, and the importance of freedom, equal rights, and democracy.
The Anne Frank House is able to carry out its mission thanks to the income it receives from the museum and the support of funds, donors, and grant-giving bodies.
