Please join us as we recognize those who uphold Anne's ideals and commemorate Anne Frank's life and tragic death, 75 years ago. This year's Spirit of Anne Frank Awards will be presented at our Youth Summit in June, followed by a charity gala in Fall 2020.
About the Awards
Each year in celebration of Anne Frank's birthday, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect hosts the Spirit of Anne Frank Awards to recognize worthy students, educators, citizens, peacemakers, and role models who uphold Anne's ideals of hope, justice, and equality. Scholarship and humanitarian award recipients are selected based on their extraordinary social and humanitarian efforts to engender understanding, equality, and mutual respect among diverse populations of people.
