Anne Frank Huis, Netherlands

From series “Apartment-museums of great celebrities”
This beautiful old building is located on the Prinsengracht embankment in Amsterdam. The Anne Frank Museum is located in it. This museum is dedicated to the ordinary Jewish girl. She was forced to hide for several years from Nazi persecution during the war. Anne Frank's family lived in the same historic building where the museum is located today. The diary of a Jewish girl made her famous all over the world. She ran it for two years. Modern producers made a film based on this diary.

Anne Frank Huis, Netherlands The building where the museum is located was built in 1635. It has changed its status many times over the years. Initially, the luxury mansion belonged to one of the wealthy citizens. A warehouse and a small factory for the production of household appliances were located in it later. The factory, which was engaged in the production of additives for jams opened in this building in 1940. Anne Frank's father was one of the employees of this factory.

A kind of shelter was set up in the backrooms of an old building when the war began. The entrance to the shelter was disguised as a closet. The Jewish family managed to hide here for two years. The building was searched in 1944. All the family members were arrested and sent to concentration camps. The Frank family became famous in 1947. A few lines from Anna's diary were published in one of the newspapers at that time. This treasured diary is the main exhibit of the museum today. Viewing a documentary film dedicated to the girl's biography is a mandatory part of the excursion. More than a million people a year visit the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam in recent years.
