In addition to opening up the Annex and providing visitors with information on the developments and events of World War II, the Anne Frank Foundation also organizes regular exhibitions on contemporary subjects. There were also exhibitions on various neo-Nazi groups in western Europe who think that Hitler's Germany was not so bad after all. They deny the mass murder of the Jews and even declare that the Jews thought it up themselves. Since the diary is an example of what the war meant they say that Anne did not write it but that it is a fake. In addition to the museum, the Foundation also has an education department.
Special attention is devoted to pupils of the lower vocational schools.
In cooperation with the teachers, study programs are set up to make students aware of what is going on in society and how to adopt a discerning attitude. Experiences with these programs are passed on to the educational system by means of publications. The Foundation organizes courses for social workers, students, etc., from abroad. Another facet of the the educational work takes place in the museum. Groups visiting the Annex can be guided by Foundation Staff Members, who provide an audio-visual introduction.
