Anne Frank House Museum

Anne Frank Huis
Netherlands, Amsterdam
The Anne Frank House Museum is a house in Amsterdam on the Prinsengracht embankment, in the back rooms of which the Jewish girl Anne Frank hid with her family from the Nazis.

The house was built in 1635 by Dirk Van Delft. Initially, a mansion was located here, then a warehouse. At the beginning of the 20th century, the production of household appliances was located here. On December 1, 1940, the company Opekta moved here, producing jam impurities and additives, in which Anne Otto Frank's father worked. On July 6, 1942, Anne Frank's family moved into the "Shelter", arranged by the company's employees in the back rooms of the house. The entrance was disguised as a filing cabinet. Here Anna wrote her diary "Shelter" in 1942-1944. In 1944, the Nazi authorities received a denunciation and searched the house on 4 August. The Frank family was arrested and sent to concentration camps.

On May 3, 1960, the opening of the Anne Frank House Museum took place. During the restoration, the rooms were returned to the appearance that they had before the Nazi searches. In front of the building, the pre-war office space has been recreated.
