THE HOUSE ON THE CANAL (picture book)
The eventful history of the house where Anne Frank and her family hid. In the middle of Amsterdam, directly at Prinsengracht 261, there is a tall, narrow house. It was built 400 years ago and served as a dwelling, storage, stable and secret hiding place. It was the site of a remarkable history, spanning the rapid growth of Amsterdam during Holland's "Golden Age" and the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II, and it offered a seemingly safe haven for Anne Frank, her family and four others for more than two years . Today the house on the canal is a much-visited museum and the seat of the Anne Frank Foundation.
