Artist-in-Residence Programs
The Anne Frank Center USA, a partner to the Anne Frank House, was founded in 1977 by Otto Frank. Through a variety of innovative programs and exhibitions, the Center uses the diary and spirit of Anne Frank as unique tools to advance her “The lessons on Anne Frank legacy, to educate young people and the Holocaust helped and communities in the U.S. my students understand and Canada about the dangers the problems of today.” of intolerance, anti-Semitism, — 4th grade teacher, PS 43X racism and discrimination, and to inspire the next generation to build a world based on equal rights and mutual respect. Our arts-based in-school programs use visual art, writing, and drama to explore the various ways that Anne Frank’s legacy can aid students in making choices that directly affect their lives today. From one-day workshops to semester-long residencies and after-school enrichment, our programs are custom designed to meet your academic, social, emotional, and artistic goals. Contact [email protected] for more information and to book your residency.
Our Artist-In-Residence Programs Take place at your school over a series of weekly sessions Integrate the arts into key curriculum areas: social studies, ELA, humanities, and/or character education Bring the Common Core State Standards to life through a hands-on approach that encourages critical thinking Promote social and emotional learning by deepening awareness of self and others Address themes of tolerance, justice, identity, intercultural understanding, community building, and peacemaking
Programs include all materials and staff development for teachers, and can accommodate up to five classes per day. All classes have the opportunity to visit The Anne Frank Center USA, where they can learn more about Anne’s life, and meet with a Holocaust survivor. Below is a sampling of our current offerings.
The Art of Self-Discovery Grades 3-5 or 6-8 Anne Frank’s own arc of self-discovery in her diary is a model to help students understand the power of being themselves, making sense of the world around them, and setting goals to fulfill their dreams to change the world. In this 4 to 12 week program, a visual artist will visit your class weekly, developing students’ reflective, expressive, and artistic skills using Anne’s experiences in hiding. Projects include interpretations of Anne’s physical space in hiding, visual explorations of her diary, student self-portraits, and journal writing. Students use varied media, working both individually and with groups.
(continued on reverse)
From Bystander to Ally—the Drama of Community Building Grades 4-6 or 7-12 When Otto Frank asked Miep Gies to help his family go into hiding, she did not hesitate to say yes. Considering the political climate in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, why did she take this risk and not stand idly by? In this 4 to 12 week residency, students will deepen their historical knowledge of Anne Frank, while utilizing drama-based activities to develop an understanding of the roles people play and the choices we face in instances of oppression— both in the past and present. The program culminates with scene presentations that demonstrate “real life” examples of our individual power to shift from the passive role of bystanders into active advocates for positive change.
Art and Propaganda Grades 6-8 or 9-12 In the lead up to World War II, the Nazis’ widespread use of propaganda helped them garner public support for the Third Reich while promoting a message of hate that would ultimately cost the lives of six million Jews, including Anne Frank. In this 4 to 12 week visual art residency, students examine propaganda images from the Nazi era through today. They then utilize this knowledge to create their own propaganda pieces that negate stereotypes and promote diversity, individualism, cultural awareness, and acceptance. Projects incorporate varied media and may include posters, pamphlets, and/or newsletters.
“Ever since I was a little girl the word ‘why’ has lived and grown along with me. The word ‘why’ not only taught me to ask, but also to think.” — Anne Frank
One-Day Workshops Grades 3-12 Pressed for time? Bring an Anne Frank Center USA educator to your classroom for a single-session introductory workshop. Customized to your needs, workshop options include visual art, writing, or drama.

About The Anne Frank Center USA The Anne Frank Center USA, a partner of the Anne Frank House, uses the diary and spirit of Anne Frank as unique tools to advance her legacy, to educate young people and communities in North America about the dangers of intolerance, antisemitism, racism and discrimination, and to inspire the next generation to build a world based on equal rights and mutual respect.
— Anne Frank, January 28, 1944
It was in many ways the nature of the job. Those who aided Jews and other targets of the Nazis during World War II often went unseen and unrecognized. The reason was simple. Helping these victims could have easily cost them their lives. In honor of these hidden heroes – on the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe – The Anne Frank Center USA is proud to host the North American premiere of The Helpers of the Secret Annex, a newly designed exhibition focusing on the brave individuals who provided food, clothes, medicine, and entertainment to Anne Frank and the seven other people hiding in The Secret Annex. Anne wrote frequently about the helpers in her diary, noting, “[This is] something we must never forget; although others may show heroism in the war or against the Germans, our helpers display heroism in their cheerfulness and affection.” Originally envisioned by The Anne Frank House, the exhibit has been newly designed for the gallery by Hixon Design Consultants. Rob de Vos, The Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in New York, will open the exhibition.
