Casa di Anna Frank "Il rifugio di Anna Frank"

Anna Frank e la sua famiglia si nascosero qui il 6 luglio del 1942 e vissero isolati per due anni. L'occupazione tedesca buttò via tutti i mobili quando gli abitanti vennero scoperti nel 1944. Però, film e altri documenti, incluso il diario di Anna, forniscono bene l'idea di come dovesse essere la vita. Il Museo aprì il 3 maggio del 1960 e negli anni Ottanta venne costruito un by Dietmar Rabich enorme centro per i visitatori.

The original Jewish museum was set up in 1932 in a small room at Weigh House, but during the 1940 German invasion most of the artifacts were confiscated and destroyed. In 1955 the Joods Historisch Museum was re- opened with only one-fifth of the original collection, so private collectors and general public came forward with their contributions. The enlarged museum was then shifted to the Ashkenazi synagogue complex, which was originally the Old Synagogue of the German . The central motif is the religion, culture, and history of Jews in this country. The museum also organizes temporary exhibitions.
