A day care center in Germany will keep the name 'Anne Frank' after worldwide outcry in response to reports that the name would change to 'World Explorer.' The city's mayor speaks out.
A school will not be dropping ' Anne Frank ' from its formal name and changing it to ' World Explorer ' following significant outcry at both the local and international levels. The Anne Frank Kindertagesstätte, in Tangerhütte, Germany , previously had discussed changing its name to something 'without political background,' the German media outlet Volksstimme reported on Nov. 6.
This is not the first time in recent years that a German day care has considered — then decided against — dropping 'Anne Frank' from its school's name. In 2021, a school in the German municipality of Elxleben briefly considered dropping the name 'Anne Frank,' before deciding to keep the name after an 'indignant' reaction from the local Jewish community, Volksstimme reported.
Anne Frank Elementary School claims on its website that it is 'the only school in Texas named after a child and the only school in the country that was built with the name Anne Frank.' Also, 'as the largest elementary school in Dallas, it serves students from as many as 58 countries who speak more than 24 languages,' the school's website states. 'This diversity creates an appreciation and understanding of different cultures.
Anne Frank will not be forgotten, for she has touched each of us. She is the symbol of hope and faith for generations yet unborn,' the Anne Frank School's website states. Fox News Digital reached out to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for comment about the decision for the Anne Frank Kindertagesstätte's name to remain the same.
