The Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, is a museum dedicated to the Jewish wartime diarist who hid from Nazi persecution with her family and four other people in hidden rooms at the rear of the building. As well as the preservation of the hiding place, known as The Annexe, and an exhibition on the life and times of Anne Frank, the museum acts as an exhibition space to highlight all forms of persecution and discrimination. It opened on May 3, 1960 with the aid of public subscription, three years after a Foundation was established to protect the property from developers who wanted to demolish the block.
