Located on Amsterdam's famous Prinsengracht, the famous building which hid the Frank and Van Pels families and Fritz Pfeffer during the Holocaust and Nazi occupation of the Netherlands is now a museum. Visitors enter the building and begin a tour of the downstairs area which once housed Otto Frank's company and hid the famous secret annex above. Visitors will see the bookcase hiding the door to the hiding place and venture upstairs to the small space shared by eight people hiding for their lives. The annex is now devoid of any furniture, but plaques along the way provide information about each individual room, its occupants and their daily routines while in hiding. The last room is a moving tribute to the Franks, Van Pels and Pfeffer, of whom all died in Concentration Camps except for Otto Frank, as well as the millions of victims of the Holocaust. There is also a display of numerous versions of Anne Frank's Diary, the found after the war and published by her father Otto. This is truly an obligatory and sobering experience in Amsterdam.
