There hid Anne Frank and her family for two years in a confined space – until they were betrayed. “At the back of the house, we have changed nothing,” says the architect, Janneke Bierman. It is the heart of the Museum, a place of silence. The Audio Guide stops at this point. Later, the story continues: The betrayal of the family, the Deportation to a concentration camp. The only one who survived, Otto Frank. Anne’s father provides for this later, that the diary of his daughter is published.
