Anne Frank House - Museum
Anne Frank is one of the most well-known former residents of Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House at Prinsengracht 263 is where she and her family hid for over two years during World War II. It has now been transformed into a museum with a sobering exhibition on the persecution of Jews during the war and discrimination in general.
