title: The Anne Frank Haven in an Israeli Kibbutz.
abstract: The Anne Frank Haven, founded in 1956, in the Israeli Kibbutz Sasa provides a unique educational program for coping with muticultural and integration problems. It is a holistic, regional junior and senior high school system within the holistic community of three kibbutzim. The Haven has been the subject of much research into "Moral Development," carried out by Wolins (1969, 1971), and mainly by Kohlberg (1971), his doctoral students Reimer and Snarey and other colleagues. In the seventies and eighties they used the Kibbutz example as a model for the "Just Community" approach. In the early nineties, an Israeli group evaluated the success of the program and its rationale, taking into consideration all the "educational factors" of the community, in the Haven, and in the kibbutzim around it. This article offers a comprehensive picture of the Kohlbergian moral-developmental research at the Anne Frank Haven, including all the relevant references and evaluations of the Haven as a part of the "Just Community" approach. It concludes with a suggestion for another approach--"Community Education" research in the same Haven--as an example of present and future studies in the area of "Moral" and "Values" education.
