Anne Frank House

Hidden annex museum

The Anne Frank House is a museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, built around the secret annex where Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family hid from Nazi persecution during World War II.

The building preserves the hidden rooms where Frank wrote her famous diary before the family's discovery and deportation in 1944.

We visited the Anne Frank House and saw the bookcase that concealed the entrance.
