Espacio Anna Frank

What Espacio Anna Frank does

Espacio Anna Frank is a Venezuelan non-profit organization founded in 2006 and headquartered in Caracas, dedicated to promoting coexistence, empathy, and responsible citizenship through Holocaust education, cultural programming, and the arts. Its core portfolio includes the annual In Memoriam program (Holocaust remembrance since 2009), the Salón Nacional de la Coexistencia (national creative competition in illustration, graphic design, and photography since 2010, awarding $500 prizes and featuring 160+ artists over 15 years), and the 100cameras x Espacio Anna Frank youth photography initiative. The organization delivers free public programming — exhibitions, film screenings (CINEtertulias), concerts, university tours (Gira Universitaria), and educational workshops — across multiple Venezuelan states including Caracas, Táchira, Lara, Nueva Esparta, Carabobo, Zulia, and Mérida.

Espacio Anna Frank operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining event-driven community engagement with a volunteer-led distribution network (Red de Embajadores de la Coexistencia). The organization relies on a concentrated set of institutional sponsors — CAF (banco de desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe), Anne Frank Fonds, and embassies of Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, the United Kingdom, Argentina, France, and the Netherlands — supplemented by individual donations through PayPal. It has no proprietary technology platform; its digital footprint is a WordPress website and standard social media channels. Distribution is anchored by partnerships with cultural venues (Hacienda La Trinidad, Centro Cultural UCAB), cinema chains (Cinex, Cinepic, Cines Unidos), and universities (UCV, UCAB, Monteávila, UNET, USM). The organization is governed by a board including President Milos Alcalay (ambassador), Vice President Ilana Beker, Director of Culture Elizabeth Schummer, and Executive Director Martha Varela.

In August 2025, Espacio Anna Frank expanded internationally with COEXPACE, a US-based chapter led by Vice President Ilana Beker and a multidisciplinary team, marking its transition from a single-country nonprofit to a binational operation. The organization also launched a global Virtual Summit 'Valentía Moral' in September 2025, signaling a digital channel strategy that removes geographic constraints. Cumulative impact includes more than 30,000 people reached through the In Memoriam program since 2009 and 446 proposals received in the 15th edition of the Salón Nacional de la Coexistencia.
