Anne+Frank+House

The Anne Frank House is a historical home and museum dedicated to Anne Frank, a young girl, born on 1929, who hid from the Nazis during World War II with her family and others. The house is located in central Amsterdam in the Netherlands The house has two floors and an attic, which is where they all hid. The museum opened May 3rd, 1960, it preserves where they hid as an exhibition of Anne's life.

The Frank family hid in this space, along with four other people, for two years. After the war, her father retrieved the diary Anne got it on her 13th birthday and wrote in throughout their stay in the secret annex. The diary was published as a book called //The Diary of a Young Girl.// The diary documented all the struggles and personal problems she had to cope with while hiding. It was not easy to hide for so long with very little food, barely any water, no privacy, and always in fear of getting caught. To me that would be the scariest thing because you never knew when the Nazis were going to find you, and how bad the punishment would be if you were to be found.

Sadly only one person from the house made it out alive, Otto Frank, Anne Frank's dad. Everyone else died. The museum, however, was a hit. Even to this day it is one of the top tourist attractions in Amsterdam. In the museum, you can learn about the life of Anne Frank. You can see where they hid behind a book shelf, how tight the spaces were, and you can even listen to Anne read her diary to you as you travel through the house. All the reviews I read about from people who went there say you won't be disappointed and how it really changes how you look at things, I am beyond exited to visit this place. I have learned so much about it and can not wait to lean more.
