Michael has been to the Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, but this was a first time for me. My son Jonathan visited the Anne Frank House when he went to Amsterdam in 2007, and he told us that it was one of the most powerful, moving and eye-opening experiences he ever had, so this has been on my list for quite some time. And because of that, I had to add it to the list of Boyle's Boise: 52 Things to Do and See.
The Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial is designed to appeal to people's highest human and spiritual instincts. It will remind us of the terrible costs of failing to act when action is required. It will speak to the very finest within all people, recalling a child who, though imprisoned in an attic by evil in the guise of patriotism, chose to trust in the human spirit.
Located in the heart of Boise's cultural district, at the intersection of the Boise Greenbelt and 8th Street, the memorial is nestled between the Log Cabin Library Center and the Boise Public Library, across the street from the historical and art museums.
Additionally, it will be a living textbook for Idaho's school children studying human rights, and it will inspire people of all ages to contemplate the moral implications of their civic responsibilities.
