1929 – 1945: The remarkable life story of Anne Frank
Anne Frank’s Story
What you need to know before your trail
The life story of Anne Frank, from her early happy childhood in Frankfurt, growing up in Amsterdam, her two years in hiding and the last few months of her life in the concentration camps. Narrated in six clearly written chapters, this biography for children answers the many detailed questions about Anne that readers of the Diary often have, and includes interesting anecdotes from friends who survived her. There is an Historical Note at the beginning of the book and a map of Europe, so that children will be able to understand the situation at the time, and an Introduction by Anne Frank’s cousin, Buddy Elias.
Travel Guide
Amsterdam and Anne Frank’s House
Museum house where Anne Frank & her family hid from the Nazis in a secret annex, during WWII. You will never forget the day and time you visit this amazing museum. When you realise the small size of the rooms and the claustrophobic conditions of the house, let alone the fact that Anne and several others had to live here as quietly as possible, you won’t be able to imagine it. The photos that Anne pasted on her bedroom wall are still there as is much of the furniture and bits from the house. The most iconic site is of course that bookcase that moved aside to reveal the secret annex. A video narration at the end by Anne’s father will have you in tears if you aren’t already
