The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights was founded in 1996 for the purpose of constructing a tribute to human rights. That vision became a reality when the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial opened to the public in 2002.
A living, vibrant interactive classroom for Idaho’s school children, it inspires people of all ages to contemplate the moral implications of their actions and the scope of their civil responsibilities. The Wassmuth Center provides programs and resources designed to bring the Memorial’s message into classrooms and communities.
The new education building for Boise’s Wassmuth Center for Human Rights will be named the Philip E. Batt Education Building to honor the former Republican governor and his work promoting human rights in Idaho.
The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights is 100% dependent on donations. We need your help to continue the valuable work being done in classrooms and communities throughout the state.
