Established by Laura and Howard Schwartz

We recently established The Anne Frank Fund as a way to promote tolerance through education and learning. We have been deeply affected by the Holocaust as Laura's father, grandfather and grandmother were in hiding in Amsterdam during World War II and the family has first hand knowledge of the depravations and difficulties faced while in hiding from persecution and in concentration camps. Our goal is to fully support the development of educational programs that explore the issues surrounding prejudice in the past and present, recognizing that people of many varied backgrounds have faced, and continue to face, persecution and injustice. As a student at the University of Michigan in the early 1980's Laura took Dutch and fondly recalls the program due to its small class sizes, diverse student participation, and continuity of faculty. Laura's mother, Katharine Marbut Ullman, and sister, Valerie Ullman Taylor, also attended the University of Michigan.
