Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House is much more than a museum. The secret annexe is preserved in its authentic state and perfectly conveys the atmosphere of those days. Bestseller Amsterdam: Life of Anne Frank and World War II Walking Tour From 27,63 € Buy the ticketThe Anne Frank House , in Dutch Anne Frank Huis , is a touching museum that catapults the visitor into the despair of the Second World War years. It is the place where the young Anne, a Jewish girl born in Frankfurt am Main and made famous by her diary, lived for more than two years in hiding with her family and four other people to escape the Nazis .
The house was converted into a museum in 1960 and is located along the Prinsengracht in the semi-central Jordaan district. Anne Frank together with her family, the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer, remained hidden here during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, in this secret accommodation made possible by a specially created revolving bookcase, part of the building that Otto Frank, Anne’s father, did not use for his business.
Otto’s employees, meanwhile, secretly supplied the people in hiding with food, school supplies and all kinds of utensils, enabling them to survive.
The secret annexe was discovered two years later, on 4 August 1944, by the Germans, alerted most probably by an unknown traitor. All the occupants of the house were deported to different concentration camps and none survived, except Otto Frank , Anne’s father.
