Today, I’m taking you to a famous building in 1940s Amsterdam; Prinsengracht 263, where Anne Frank and her family hid for two years to escape Nazi persecution and violence during the Holocaust. While the Secret Annex remains the most well-known part of the building, I’ll be taking you through the rest of the structure, introducing (and hopefully doing justice to) the helpers who kept the Annex occupants safe and, in the words of Anne Frank herself, “displayed heroism in their cheerfulness and affection”.
