Anne Frank HouseThis museum is dedicated to the memory of Anne Frank, whose
famous diary, recorded over a two-year period, describes the
experiences of a Jewish teenager during World War II. Part of the
house was used as a hiding place by the Franks and others to escape
Nazi persecution. The families were later discovered and sent to
their deaths in the concentration camps. Otto Frank was the only
survivor. The original diary is on display as part of the permanent
exhibition. The museum also hosts temporary exhibits that focus on
related issues. A must-see tourist attraction for visitors of all
ages. Address: Prinsengracht 267 (Westerkerk) Website: www.annefrank.nl Telephone: (020) 556 7105 Transportation: Tram 13 or 17; or bus 21, 170, 171 or 172 from Central
