Mission
By exploring Anne's story and its lessons for today, the Loyola Anne Frank Project inspires young people to combat intolerance and hate by considering, not what would I have done, but what will I do?
What Funds Will Go Towards
The traveling exhibit, “Anne Frank: A History for Today,” is designed not only to provide historical facts about Anne and the holocaust, but to use peer docents to lead tours that encourage discussion regarding intolerance, racism, and inclusion. The tours provide, of course, a powerful educational experience, but it is the docent training that is truly transformative, as teenagers – Anne Frank’s age – spend several days working together, building community, and learning not only to provide tours, but how to be upstanders against prejudice and hate. Our copy is bilingual (English and Spanish).
Your gift will help us to provide this training free of charge, bringing together young people from different schools and backgrounds to learn how they can contribute to a kinder world.
In particular, funds will support such costs as educational training from the Anne Frank House and Yad Vashem (the world Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem), visits from survivors, transportation for students, and development of training materials in Spanish.
