Anne Frank Center

The Anne Frank Zentrum is located in the Haus Schwarzenberg in Berlin-Mitte, right next to the Hackesche Höfe. As the German partner organization of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, it is dedicated to remembering the crimes of National Socialism and to preserving the message of the famous diary. The center grew out of a 1994 initiative that began with a traveling exhibition. After a cooperation agreement was signed with the Amsterdam museum, the center officially opened on June 12, 1998.

At the heart of your visit is the interactive permanent exhibition "Alles über Anne" (All About Anne). It offers a deep look into the life of the young Jewish girl and encourages you to reflect on antisemitism, past and present. The display includes numerous surviving photos and documents, as well as tactile models of the Secret Annex and the diary. Especially noteworthy is the inclusive approach, which includes sign language translations, a guidance system for visitors who are blind, and texts in plain language. School classes and families can also book educational guides to explore the content in greater depth.

In addition to its permanent exhibition, the center is active with various traveling exhibitions and the nationwide Anne Frank Day, held every year on the author's birthday. This day of action mobilizes schools against racism and for democracy. The center also promotes intergenerational dialogue between young people and seniors, as well as training for educators on topics such as intercultural competence and antisemitism.
