A Complete Guide to What's Inside the Anne Frank House
A biographical museum dedicated to Anne Frank and her life, the Anne Frank House is located at Prinsengracht in Amsterdam. Anne, her family, and others lived here in hiding for almost two years under Nazi occupation during the Second World War. After Otto Frank, the sole survivor, returned from Auschwitz, the house was converted into a museum containing the personal belongings of all those in hiding, including an exhibition that traced the power of Hitler before the Franks moved to the Netherlands.
One of the most popular attractions in the Netherlands, the Anne Frank House stands as a stark reminder of the unjust treatment of Jews and their experiences during WWII.
What’s inside the Anne Frank House?
Secret Annex
In 1942, on July 6th, the Frank family went into hiding at Prinsengracht 263. Besides the Franks, the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer in hiding stayed on the top floors of the secret annex in the back house. When Otto returned from Auschwitz, the Secret Annex was stripped bare by the Nazis and was opened as a museum in 1960.
Anne Frank's room
Anne shared a room with Fritz Pfeffer, leading to regular arguments on their shared space, especially the desk that Anne wanted for writing her diary. She wrote her thoughts in her diary and hung picture postcards and her movie star collection to brighten her room.
Diary room
On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank received a red-checked diary for her 13th birthday. While hiding, Anne wrote in her diary and notebooks. When she heard that diaries were being collected after the war, she rewrote her diary. Her rewritten version of 215 loose sheets is displayed alternately in the museum. In addition, the Beautiful Sentences Book with quotes Anne found interesting, and the Story Book which contained self-made short stories is also displayed.
Exhibition
The 'The Frank Family in Frankfurt am Main, 1929-1933' exhibition depicts the narrative of the Frank family in Frankfurt amidst the economic, social, and political turmoil in Germany. The exhibition commences with the birth of Anne Frank in Germany in 1929, highlights the rise of Hitler and the NSDAP, and concludes with the Frank family's departure to the Netherlands in 1933.
