Anne Frank House

Located on a canal called the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, it is here that Anne Frank and her family lived for almost two years while hiding from the Nazis during World War II. The Anne Frank House, now a museum, contains personal possessions of individuals in hiding as well as displays documenting the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust. One of the most visited sites in the Netherlands, the Anne Frank museum stands as an important reminder of the unfathomable harm that discrimination and racism can bring about.

A visit to the Anne Frank House may be moving, thought-provoking, and upsetting for some. Each visitor has an audio tour around the rooms, which gives historical and chronological context. This helps to maintain a calm mood within the museum. The presentation is simple, with quotations, images, video clips, and unique stuff. The rooms are relatively lightly furnished because deported Jews' homes were often torn down and things carried to Germany. Photos, on the other hand, show how the rooms would have appeared at the time.

Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish are among the nine languages offered for the audio tour. It is appropriate for youngsters as young as ten years old. After passing through the rooms of the Main House, you arrive at the Secret Annex. It is accessed by a hidden entry in the original hinged bookshelf. You will witness Anne Frank's room, which has images of celebrities and nobility pasted to the walls. Anne and Margot's heights are likewise marked on the bedroom wall.

Anne's original red-checked journal, as well as some of her other works, are housed in the Diary Room. The film Reflections showswhat Anne Frank's diary and life story meant to 22 authors, performers, tourists, and those who knew her. The interactive display A Room Full of Dreams is inspired by the photographs and postcards that Anne hung on her wall.
