More Than a Diary

Anne Frank was not just a name in history, but a vivid, curious, and insightful young girl whose words gave voice to millions. Her diary reveals a world of emotion, fear, and hope behind the secret walls of the annex.

Life in the Secret Annex

The Anne Frank House preserves the very rooms where Anne and her family lived in hiding. Visiting these narrow spaces brings her writing to life. The silence of the annex amplifies the weight of what occurred there.

What the Museum Teaches

The Anne Frank Museum isn’t just about preserving a place—it’s about fostering reflection and dialogue. Exhibits on antisemitism, persecution, and resistance put Anne Frank’s experience in global context, urging visitors to think critically.

Global Impact of Anne's Voice

Her words have been translated into over 70 languages, resonating with readers around the world. Schools, museums, and human rights groups continue to share Anne Frank’s legacy, sparked by the museum that bears her name.

How to Keep Remembering

One visit to the Anne Frank House is powerful, but ongoing education matters too. Read her diary again. Attend talks. Teach others. The more we remember, the less likely history is to repeat itself.
