Anne Frank House

This is one of the most moving places in Europe. Behind a hidden bookcase, eight people hid for over two years in a small annex above a canal-side warehouse. Walking through the narrow rooms, you see where Anne wrote her diary, which became one of the most read books of the twentieth century. Visits are quiet and thoughtful, so it helps to read about the story beforehand.

Talking points

• Eight people lived in the hidden annex.
• Anne's diary has been translated into dozens of languages.
• The visit is quiet and respectful, with limited photography.
