Anne Frank House

Why go

Few Amsterdam sites connect a worldwide text so directly to its physical setting. The business premises, concealed rear annex and surviving personal context show how everyday work continued in front while persecution forced two families and another man into hiding behind it.

What to look for

• The Secret Annex occupies the rear of a seventeenth-century canal house.
• Surrounding buildings concealed the annex from outside view.
• The Anne Frank Foundation saved the property before the museum opened in 1960.

Useful to know

• Use the official ticket page to plan entry; access is organized as a timed museum visit.
• Read a short account of the eight people in hiding before arrival so the compact rooms are easier to follow.
