The world came to know about the devastating two-years of Anne Frank’s life in this house through her widely read diary. During the Nazi persecution of Jewish victims in Second World War the Frank family tried to escape by going into hiding and they chose this building on the Prinsengracht. The building consists of two parts: a front house and a back annex. Otto Frank's business was located in the front house. The uppermost floors of the back annex became the hiding place. One of the most frequently visited places in the world this house receives more than 930,000 visitors a year. A recent expansion by Benthem Crouwel Architects has allowed the re-creation of Otto Frank's business in the original house. Space has also been provided for comprehensive exhibitions, a bookstore, café, and offices for over 100 employees of the Anne Frank Foundation.
