Anne Frank

This second section of the exhibition takes us on a journey through the historical aspects that were merging to give rise to the emergence of Nazism, and the figure that would ultimately weave the threads of the Holocaust: Adolf Hitler.

This room displays the decision made by Otto Frank and Edith Holländer to flee Germany with their daughters in search of living a life in freedom.

On July 5, 1942, Margot Frank received a summon to participate in the “expansion of Nazi labor force”, that is, to be taken to a forced labor site.

It is a recreation of the room that was in the back of the house. Every detail has been carefully crafted to provide an atmosphere that immerses us not only in the era but also in the daily life of the eight hidden individuals.

The Frank family's plans to hide would never have been possible without the sustained effort and support of Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman, Bep Voskuijl, Johannes Voskuijl, Jan Gies, and Miep Gies: this room honors their role as protectors.

It is during her time in hiding that Anne Frank writes most of her diary, in which she shares her deepest feelings, dreams and disappointments.

Anne Frank's legacy is an inspiration to young people around the world who, like her, want to contribute to a better world. This room displays the testimonies of young people who share their aspirations for the future, much like in Anne's diary.
