FAQs

Why is the Anne Frank House in the Netherlands? ›

During World War II, when the Netherlands was occupied by Germany, Anne Frank hid from Nazi persecution with her family and four other people in hidden rooms, in the rear building, of the 17th-century canal house, later known as the Secret Annex (Dutch: Achterhuis).

The Anne Frank House acquired the house in 2017 and lets it to the Dutch Foundation for Literature, which invites a new 'refugee writer' to live there every year. These 'refugee writers' are foreign writers who cannot work freely in their own countries. The house is a safe haven and a place to write in peace.

Of the eight people in hiding, Otto was the only one to survive the war. After the liberation, the building at Prinsengracht 263 was in danger of being demolished, but as Anne's story about life in the Secret Annex reached more and more people, resistance to the demolition plans increased.

Anne and the others went into hiding at Prinsengracht 263, which consisted of a main house and an annex. Otto Frank's company was in the main house. Here, the helpers (Otto's employees) kept the company running. The people in hiding had lived in the annex for two years when they were discovered.

Introduction. Annelies (Anne) Frank was born in the German city of Frankfurt in 1929. After the rise of Hitler in 1933, Otto and Edith Frank decided to move their family to Amsterdam, Netherlands to escape increasing antisemitism in Germany. Anne was just ten years old when Germany invaded Poland, sparking WWII.

For two years during the Second World War, the Secret Annex served as a hiding place for Anne Frank and the other people there. After the war, it fell into disrepair. The Anne Frank House was established in 1957 and its main purpose was to preserve the hiding place.

Otto Frank, Anne's father, did not want to refurnish the former hiding place. In an interview in 1962, he said: 'After the Anne Frank House had been restored, they asked me if I wanted to have the rooms refurnished. But I said, 'No. They took everything out during the war, and I want to keep it that way.

The actors weren't allowed to film in the Anne Frank house's creaky stairways and upstairs rooms. To help recreate the house, director Josh Boone turned to his production designer Molly Hughes. Hughes explains that some dramatic liberties had to be taken.

What did no one want to buy of Peter's? ›

A suit of Hermann's, clothes of Auguste's, and Peter's bike. One of the helpers tried to sell it, but no one wanted to buy it.

Edith, their mother, remained at Auschwitz-Birkenau and died of starvation in January of 1945. Otto Frank, her father, somehow survived Auschwitz and returned to Amsterdam after the war. Otto's secretary, Miep Gies, found Anne's diary after the Nazis raided the house and interned the Frank family.

Yes, the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam is indeed the real house where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis during World War II.

It all depends on what you want to see. There are other things to see connected to the holocaust etc, but the Anne Frank House is not the same. I have not even read the diary but the house really made an impact on me. I think it's definitely worth visiting.

Sadly, Anne did not survive the war but her diary lives on forever. The world now knows her story and you can learn more about Anne Frank and walk into the very same space that she used as her hiding place, which is now one of Amsterdam's most-visited sights. Just remember to pack some tissues as tears are guaranteed.

Although the Frank family had moved to Amsterdam in 1933, the Franks had never become Dutch citizens.

Anne is clearly aware of her mother's poor Dutch and how this must seem to the Dutch friends who help them in the Annex. Not only is she seemingly embarrassed by her mother, as most teenagers are, but as a young immigrant to Holland, she has taken on 'proper' Dutch as her primary language naturally.

She quickly learned Dutch, made new friends, and went to a Dutch school near her home until she was in sixth grade before being accepted into the Jewish Lyceum where Margot also attended school. Anne did exceptionally well in school, getting along with her teachers and enjoying learning (except for math).

Explanation: According to Anne Frank's diary, she and her family lived in Frankfurt, Germany and then moved to Holland in the year 1933, when she was 4 years old. She stated that her family's reason for leaving Germany for Holland was because they Jews.
