2. Anne Frank – Prinsengracht, Amsterdam
The house of Anne Frank is a popular touristic attraction in Amsterdam. It’s now a museum which documents not only her life, but also the plight of Jews under Nazi occupation during World War II. She lived there for over two years with her family and wrote a diary, which later became the famous book.
The family went into hiding and lived in a secret annex in the rear of her father’s office. She wrote about the relationships of the people in confinement and their personalities. She took solace writing in her diary and aspired to be a journalist.
