Anne Frank was a young German-born Jewish girl who kept diary accounts of her time in hiding during the German Occupation. While Anne Frank did not survive World War II, her diary was later published and became one of the most-read books in the world.  The place of hiding has since been turned into a world-famous museum, the Anne Frank House

The original part of the Anne Frank Museum (including the annex) can unfortunately only be reached via a staircase. However, visitors with reduced mobility can experience a 25-minute virtual reality tour of Anne Frank’s hiding place as it was during WWII. Read more about the Anne Frank Museum’s accessibility or buy your ticket online.
