Anne Frank House

The Anne Frank House is the house where the Jewish Anne Frank hid during World War II, before she died of typhus after a stay in Auschwitz. In 1940, the Frank family moved to the house on the Prinsengracht, just as the Germans invaded the Netherlands. The family locked themselves in the annex of the house, where Anne began writing her diary at the age of 13. Because the house is quite complex in structure, with a narrow façade but a deep rear building, the Germans could not uncover that an entire family was hiding in the Annex. Anne stayed in the house for 4 years. Next to the house, the Anne Frank Museum has now been built.
