About Anne Frank House
Otto Frank, the only member of the Frank family to survive the Holocaust, opened the house as a museum in 1960. The original Secret Annex remains preserved behind the famous bookcase entrance.
Modern exhibition spaces tell the story of Anne, her family, and the Holocaust, along with reflections on contemporary discrimination and human rights.
