The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights is dedicated to promoting human dignity and diversity through education. As the founders and home of the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, we invite visitors to reflect on the past, engage in meaningful dialogue, and take action for a just and inclusive future.
In our new Philip E. Batt Education Building, visitors can explore interactive exhibits and original works of art that bring human rights stories to life and spark conversation, and connection. Together, the Memorial and Education Building serve as a powerful campus for learning and action.
We envision an Idaho where everyone is valued, treated with respect, and empowered to protect and promote human rights. Through our programs and exhibits, we provide learners of all ages with the knowledge, skills, and resources to build a more just world.
The Wassmuth Center Campus is Located in Downtown Boise at 777 S. 8th Street, ID 83702

We hope you’ll join us for a warm and welcoming Community Open House on Wednesday, June 19th from 11am to 2pm—for a chance to gather, learn about this pivotal moment in American History and celebrate the power of belonging together.
The new Philip E. Batt Education Building, home to the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, opened to the public on October 11, 2024. Named in honor of former Idaho Governor Philip E. Batt, the building recognizes his leadership and lifelong commitment to promoting human rights for all Idahoans.
While the facility is now complete and serving visitors, there are still meaningful ways to be part of this legacy.
We invite you to join us in building a more inclusive future—brick by brick.
