Fundraiser aimed at providing Anne Frank Memorial security
Ann Frank Memorial
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK)-In response to vandalism of the Anne Frank Memorial in Boise, a citizens group is working with the Wessmuth Center for Human Rights on a fundraising campaign to support the project.
By noon Friday, 158 donors had raised more than $8,000 to install a security system at the site.
Spokesperson Fiona Mancill said funds beyond the first $5,000 would be used to support ongoing community education work at the center, aimed at dismantling white supremacy in the community.
A virtual vigil is being organized at the site for Monday, December 14. Details will be announced later.

The mayor was joined by other local leaders, who also spoke out against the vandalism.
Dan Prinzing, the Executive Director of the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, said the incident left him questioning whether the hateful sentiments were shared by the wider community. But he said he was heartened at the number of people who reached out in support, brought flowers to the site, and openly renounced the anti-Semetic vandalism.
