The Anne Frank Humanitarian Award
The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it is indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it is indifference. Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.Elie Wiesel

The Anne Frank Humanitarian Award, established in 2001, honors outstanding humanitarian efforts by high school juniors in public and private schools in Pinellas, Pasco, Hillsborough, Sarasota, and Manatee counties.
Principals and guidance counselors recommend students for this prestigious award who have made a conscious decision to better the lives of other individuals or groups both inside and outside of school activities.
These students are recognized both at their schools as well as at the Museum. Legislators, educators, family, and friends are invited to join the Museum in honoring these students.
The Florida Holocaust Museum’s award has the endorsement of the Anne Frank House in New York.

It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.Anne Frank, July 15, 1944
