Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House is a museum in Amsterdam, preserving the building where Anne Frank and seven others hid. Its preserved rooms show the group’s cramped daily surroundings. The museum presents this setting in central Amsterdam, where photographs and documents connect the house with Anne’s family.
In July 1942, the Frank family entered the annex, soon joined by the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer. Eight people lived there under constant fear. As Nazi persecution intensified across the Netherlands, trusted employees and friends supplied food, news, and necessities. German police discovered and arrested all eight in August 1944.
Anne’s diary records thoughts and daily life inside the annex, beginning on her thirteenth birthday. The museum displays the original diary beside personal objects. Photographs and documents place the rooms within the Holocaust in the Netherlands. Further exhibits address discrimination and human rights.
