A beacon of light : Wassmuth Center seeks to open $3 million education center in Boise Hayley Harding, The Idaho Statesman
Jan. 21 The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, home to Idaho s Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, is planning to build a new education center at the memorial.
The center would include 3,500 square feet on the first floor for daily operations, including staff space, a Docent Center to begin and end tours, and a memorial shop. A Human Rights Classroom would be on the second floor and offer 2,200 square feet of space.
That would make room for more programming, including traveling exhibits. The classroom would be able to host professional development for teachers as well as human rights clubs for students in 7th through 10th grades and at Boise State University. A metal sculpture from Boise artist Ken McCall, inspired by the text of the United Nations Universal Declaration for Human Rights, would also be installed.
December 2020: Antisemitism in review 07 Jan 2021 share this on
When: 5 December

Despite the derogatory tweets, only two days after being suspended, the players were reinstated following pressure from the national team and other Argentine rugby clubs. Click here to read more.

As Chanukah 2020 came to a close, unsurprisingly it was less Adam Sandler s
Eight Crazy Nights and more stay at home, gather with family through Zoom, and anticlimactically open gifts over FaceTime.
But unfortunately what didn t change in 2020 was an onslaught of antisemitism during the holiday. In just the past few weeks, the Anne Frank Memorial in Iowa was vandalized with swastikas, a Jewish Chabad member in Kentucky was attacked and hit by a car, and a Jewish school on Long Island was hacked and swastikas uploaded onto its website. This doesn t even scratch the surface.
By any measure, antisemitism is on the rise, both globally and here in the United States.
