Pay your respects to Anne Frank in Amsterdam

The house where Anne Frank wrote her famous diary is now a well-renowned museum on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam.

Featuring exhibits about life for the Jews in Nazi Germany and information on Anne Frank herself, the museum is open daily and receives hundred of thousands of visitors a year.

The museum tells the story of the eight people who hid in the attic with Anne and her original diary is on display.

The secret annex in which Anne lives has been kept empty by curators in order to keep it in the condition the police left it after they carried off the group's furniture following their arrests.

Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who hid from Nazi persecution along with her family and four others in 500 square feet's-worth of hidden rooms to avoid being taken to the concentration camps.

She was made famous by the diary she kept about her life in hiding, which was published by her father after her death.
