Anne Frank's House (Anne Frank Huis) is one of Amsterdam's most
interesting and popular tourist attractions. The story of Anne's short
life became famous with the publication of her diary that described growing
up as a teenager in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. With the assistance of
others, the Frank family took refuge in the attic of this house where they
lived until they were discovered by the Nazis in August of 1944.
Anne Frank's book, entitled "Het Achterhuis" (The Annex) is a great book
to read prior to visiting Amsterdam. The book was also made into a motion picture.
