2. Anne Frank house and holocaust museum
A must visit Amsterdam attraction, the Anne Frank Huis manages over one million visitors every year. This is the house where Anne Frank along with her family and four other people hid from Nazi Prosecution (Holocaust) during the World War II.
Located at the rear of the 17th-century canal house known as the Secret Annex, the building was protected from being razed in 1957 a decade after Anne Frank’s wartime diary was published. A museum was opened in May 1960 which preserves the writer’s hiding place. All forms of persecution and discrimination are also displayed here. In 2013 and 2014, the holocaust museum was the 3rd most visited museum in the Netherlands.
