2WW: One of the most heartbreaking stories of WW2 as told by Anne Frank
The Diary of a Young Girl
What you need to know before your trail
In July 1942, thirteen-year-old Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the occupation, went into hiding in an Amsterdam warehouse.
Over the next two years Anne vividly describes in her diary the frustrations of living in such close quarters, and her thoughts, feelings and longings as she grows up. Her diary ends abruptly when, in August 1944, they were all betrayed.
Travel Guide
Amsterdam and Anne Frank’s House
Museum house where Anne Frank & her family hid from the Nazis in a secret annex, during WWII. You will never forget the day and time you visit this amazing musuem. When you realise the small size of the rooms and the claustrophobic conditions of the house, let alone the fact that Anne and several others had to live here as quietly as possible, you won’t be able to imagine it. The photos that Anne pasted on her bedroom wall are still there as is much of the furniture and bits from the house. The most iconic site is of course that bookcase that moved aside to reveal the secret annex. A video narration at the end by Anne’s father will have you in tears if you aren’t already.
