Anne Frank LA

ABOUT THE  PRESENTATION: Anne Frank LA is a non-profit organization which creates and presents innovative educational and cultural programs and community events that further the legacy of Anne Frank. Their programs enable learners of all ages to better understand the dangers of prejudice and discrimination, the importance of democracy, and how to become upstanders rather than bystanders.

Anne Frank LA was founded in 2019 by Margrit Polak, her husband Harvey Shield, and daughter Sofia, to continue the legacy of Margrit’s parents. Her father, Jack Polak, co-founded the Anne Frank Center USA in 1977 in New York where he and her mom Ina settled after being liberated from Bergen-Belsen. The organization is steered and supported by a nine-member board of directors with strong ties to the worlds of film, theatre, visual arts and education.

Anne Frank LA received its 501(c)3 designation in late 2021 with the support of Anne Frank Center at the University of South Carolina, The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, and the Anne Frank Fonds in Basel, Switzerland.
