Anne Frank House
Terhal
A historic-house museum in the building and secret annex where Anne Frank and her family hid during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in World War II before their discovery in 1944; the Holocaust history presented here is based on documented sources and stated neutrally and educationally, without dramatization, and it is one of the most-visited museums in Amsterdam. Advance timed online tickets are practically essential since time slots often sell out weeks ahead.
