THE ANNE FRANK MUSEUM
The Anne Frank Museum has its origins in the horrors of the Second World War and the writings of a girl in
his personal diary
The Anne Frank Museum is at 263 Prinsengracht, close to the Westerkerk, and if not for the sad story that
announced the building would pass completely unnoticed, overshadowed by other buildings more attractive.
When the Germans occupied the city in 1940, a Jewish merchant named Otto Frank moved his business
Opekta devoted to trade in spices, Singel 400 Prinsengracht building. Like many of the houses in Amsterdam,
the new headquarters was also Opekta units in the fund, which called it "back home" (achterhuis). When the
deportations of Jews became more frequent, Otto Frank started to put this house back as a refuge where they
can hide in case of danger. That occurred on July 6, 1942. The family hid in the background: Otto, his wife Edith
and their daughters Margot and Anne, concealed entry through a library. A week later they joined the spouses
Van Pels and their son in November and a family friend, Fritz Pfeffer.
The eight people locked together in the house, aided by a few friends who knew them will provide shelter and
sustenance, until they were revealing never knew exactly by whom, and deported on August 4, 1944.

Since the beginning of the running, the little that Ana had only 14 years, wrote in a notebook as a journal
his experiences in this field, its relations with other people, emotions and mood states, their own way to
adolescence. In his writings about his intention to become a writer and published her diary after the war
ended.
Anne did not survive the horrors of sports, like her sister Margot died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen, it is believed
that shortly before the Allies liberate the camp. Of the occupants of the house, only Otto Frank returned and it
was he who decided to publish the diary of his daughter, as was his wish.
When Otto returned, he was greeted warmly by friends and protectors and the house was still the
company headquarters, but was very poorly preserved and ready to be demolished along with other houses in
the environment. Otto Frank struggled to be actively preserved, which was under pressure and public support
and funds donated by the mayor of Amsterdam to reset it. On May 3, 1960 opened the Anne Frank House
museum, intended to modernize the "home front" to turn it into an international center for young and keep
the "back home" as a museum.
The popularity achieved by the publication of the diary of Anne Frank made a large number of visitors
came to the museum, which had to close a few times for maintenance and upgrades. Currently receives
around one million visitors a year, which are especially moved by visiting the "back home", which are still
preserved Ana photos and posters hit the walls, some with stripes that Otto was to mark on the wall the
growth of their daughters, a map of Normandy where Otto noted the progress of the allies and, of course, the
facsimiles of the diary of Anne, in fact composed of several loose-leaf notebooks and many. Also on display in
the museum a large quantity of personal property of the Frank family and the other co-shelter, as well as
material related to the publication of the newspaper, theatrical and cinematic adaptation, letters from
readers, and so on.

from Egypt and the museum's pride and glory. The temple is in the lobby so that it can be seen for free by all
visitors - this was a condition of the gift. You can enter the small temple, where there is a Greek inscription and
a cross carved in the wall, showing later Christian use.
