About the Ann Frank Memorial
(from the Idaho Human Rights Education Center - IHREC)
Features and History
The Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial is designed to appeal to people's highest human and spiritual instincts. It will remind us of the terrible costs of failing to act when action is required. It will speak to the very finest within all people, recalling a child who, though imprisoned in an attic by evil in the guise of patriotism, chose to trust in the human spirit.
photo from dedication ceremony Located in the heart of Boise's cultural district, at the intersection of the Boise Greenbelt and 8th Street, the memorial will be nestled between the Log Cabin Library Center and the Boise Public Library, across the street from the historical and art museums.
It will be a living textbook for Idaho's school children studying human rights, and it will inspire people of all ages to contemplate the moral implications of their civic responsibilities.
Educational services
The Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial contains public art with educational features providing a setting for active learning and quiet reflection upon one’s responsibility to live respectfully; "Human Rights Resource Guide for Communities and Educators," produced with support from the Idaho Humanities Council.
