To disseminate the message of ANNE FRANK
Through her Diary, ANNE FRANK has become a world-wide symbol representing all victims of racism, anti-Semitism and fascism. She stands for victims who lived at the same time as she did just as much as for the victims of today. The foremost message contained in her Diary sets out to combat all forms of racism and anti-Semitism
Charitable activities of the ANNE FRANK-Fonds
In accordance with its statutes, the AFF uses the largest part of the revenue from the Foundation's assets for a wide range of concretely described charitable activities. After careful examination, the ANNE FRANK-Fonds finances those projects which comply with the ideas of ANNE FRANK. The informal requests must contain only; a project description, a budget and the financing planned. Documents sent to the ANNE FRANK-Fonds with the request are not sent back.
Causes assisted to date include:
- On the suggestion of, and in co-operation with, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, the AFF founded the «ANNE FRANK Medical Fund for the Righteous» in Basle in 1987. This provides urgently needed medical supplies to the «Righteous» - non-Jews who risked their lives to help Jews persecuted during the Holocaust. Help with financing is also sought from third parties.
- Initiation of, and financial support for, the ANNE FRANK Shoah Library at the German Library in Leipzig - a special library dedicated to genocide under National Socialism.
- Co-financing of exchange visits and meetings between young Germans, Israelis and Arabs.
- Support for the ANNE FRANK-Stichting (ANNE FRANK-House) in Amsterdam that maintains the house at Prinsengracht 263 as a museum and that performs extensive public activities in the struggle against all forms of discrimination.
- Support is given to Israeli-Palestinian peace organisations.
- Encouragement of projects related to schools and education, e.g. the Sussex University Symbiosis Project and the Ethics Project of the «Bläsischulhaus», Basel.
