A comprehensive Anne Frank House Guide telling the story of Anne Frank and her daily life in the secret annex

One of the most popular tourist attractions in Amsterdam, getting more than 1.2 million visitors a year: the Anne Frank House on Prinsengracht. A museum you should definitely see when you are in Amsterdam (Holland). Discover the secret annex behind the bookcase where Anne Frank, the 13-year-old Jewish girl and her family lived for 2 years, and where she wrote the now famous Anne Frank diaries.

The first floor of the canal house, of which the entrance was hidden behind a movable bookcase, was the hiding place of Anne Frank, who went into hiding with family and other Jewish people from Amsterdam during the Second World War in an attempt to escape deportation by the Nazis.
