About us

The Anne Frank House was established on 3 May 1957 in cooperation with Otto Frank, Anne Frank’s father. We are an independent non-profit organisation that runs a museum in the house where Anne Frank went into hiding and we try to increase awareness of Anne’s life story all over the world.

The organisation

Who we are

The Anne Frank House has around one hundred staff members. We welcome visitors to the museum, manage the collection, create educational material, or do research.
What we do

We develop exhibitions, educational programmes, and publications on the basis of Anne’s life story. We manage the collection of the museum and open up Anne’s hiding place to the public. It is our objective to make young people aware of the dangers of antisemitism, racism, and discrimination, and the importance of freedom, equal rights, and democracy.
How it all began

Read how the hiding place of the Frank family, the Van Pels family, and Fritz Pfeffer was preserved after the war and turned into a world-famous museum.
The mission of Otto Frank

Otto Frank was the driving force behind the publication of the diary written by his daughter. He was closely involved with the Anne Frank House until his death.
