I really enjoy stopping here when on the Greenbelt. It gives you a moment of pause to remember this young girl and her battle to survive Nazi Germany. Give yourself a good hour to read all the carvings.

This memorial is right in the middle of one of the busiest traffic centers of Boise - and yet it is so peaceful when you are walking through the well-tended paths. I had wondered why there would be an Anne Frank memorial in Boise - what could be the connection? But the memorial explains that to the visitor and makes... More

The various plaques tell a remarkable story. And the statue of Anne looking out the window is dramatic.

Following the visit of a traveling Anne Frank exhibit to Boise several years ago, this permanent memorial to Anne Frank, as well as the issue of global human rights, was established in the heart of Boise near the Boise Public Library. This is a wonderful opportunity to educate yourselves and your children on not only the life of Anne Frank,... More

We visited on a cold day. Snow covered much of the site and the water falls were off for the season; however, we were able to follow the path and read the quotes on the walls. We will definitely make an effort to return during warmer weather. The staff at the research center were friendly and accommodating. A very impressive... More

We host speakers from around the globe every year. We will take them to see the river and the idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial every time. It is impressive for a town our size to have such a beautiful and moving display with the equal beauty of nature surrounding it. It is not uncommon to find students holding class... More

i was rather blown away to be eating at a restaurant last year, 2011 for Thanksgiving and then a few yards away on the Boise Greenbelt walkway, to have this amazing tribute to Anne Frank. it is well done, both the sculpture and the text. great exhibit and being outdoors makes it even better-no matter the season.

What a remarkable Memorial. It's great walking around by yourself, but schedule a docent. The docents are extremely knowledgeable and you'll get more out of the experience. The Anne Frank statue is courtesy of Idaho school children's donations.

What a lovely memorial to Anne Frank and a reminder that the way we treat other human beings always makes a difference. The quotes on the quote walls were well chosen; the site itself is peaceful and beautiful. This is a gem tucked in behind the public library, next to the green belt. I only had one day to explore...
