Anne Frank and downtown Boise, Idaho, may seem an unlikely pairing, but the legacy Anne left for human dignity strongly resonates in Idaho. Located in the heart of Boise’s cultural district at the intersection of the Boise Greenbelt and 8th Street, the Memorial is nestled behind the Boise Public Library. Annually, thousands of school children and adults tour the memorial and participate in the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights programming.
Please take an opportunity to view the resources provided and get a feel for what the Memorial has to offer and understand just how important it is to Boise and Idaho.
A committee chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt wrote this document outlining the freedoms everyone should be entitled to. The Wassmuth Center is one of the few places in the world where it is displayed in its entirety.
The Philip E. Batt Education Building will be closed to the public from February 13 to February 16. Our next Drop-In Discovery hours will be February 20 from 12:00-4:00 PM. We hope to see you soon!
