Our mission
The Anne Frank House is an independent organisation entrusted with the care of the Secret Annexe, the place where Anne Frank went into hiding during World War II and where she wrote her diary. It brings her life story to the attention of people all over the world to encourage them to reflect on the dangers of anti-Semitism, racism and discrimination and the importance of freedom, equal rights and democracy.
Activities
The two pillars on which the organisation rests are informing the public and education. Of our more than one hundred staff members, approximately half are engaged in work related to the museum and museum visitors. The rest of the staff are mainly involved in the development of educational projects and activities at home and abroad, or in conducting research in the field of racism and extremism. The Anne Frank House publishes an annual report listing its most important activities of the previous year: Annual Report 2011
Management
The Directors are responsible for the management of the Anne Frank House. They are appointed by the Supervisory Board, which supervises the policy of the Directors and provides them with advice. In addition to the Supervisory Board the Anne Frank House also has an Advisory Board, made up of representatives of various sections of society. The Advisory Board advises the Supervisory Board on issues that are definitive for the identity of the Anne Frank House. In effect the Advisory Board acts as a ‘sounding board of society’.
Finance
The Anne Frank House is mainly dependent on museum visits for its income: revenues generated by the museum cover more than ninety-five percent of the annual budget. For the financing of its other large projects the Anne Frank House relies on finance from a variety of funds, collaborating partners, friends and donors, or subsidies from the European Union and the Dutch government.
