attractive districts of Amsterdam. People who live here
never want to live somewhere else. In this, one of the
most sung-about districts of Holland, everyone feels
comfortable like at home. The Jordaan has a lot of different
small shops, cafes and restaurants, which you

The Westerkerk and the Wester Tower are popular in
this area and have been celebrated in numerous songs.
For the true blue 'Amsterdammer' they are the perfect
symbol of their city. A visit to this church is a
recommendation. The Wester Tower, the highest monument
of Amsterdam, is during the summer period a recommendation
to clime. Already from the first balcony you will
have a magnificent view on the city. On the top you
can see the difference between de street profile of
the Jordaan and the Canal area of Amsterdam.

Anne Frank was one of the Jewish
victims of Nazi persecution during the second
world war. After Nazi Germany invaded the
Netherlands in 1940, increasingly severe
anti-Jewish measures began here as well.
The Frank family tried to escape by going
into hiding. On July 1942, Otto Frank, Edith
Frank-Hollander and their daughters Margot
and Anne hid in this building on the Prinsengracht.
They where later joined by Mr. and Mrs Daan,
their sun Peter and Mr. Dussel. The building
consists of two parts : a front house and
a back anex. Otto Frank's business was located
in the front house. The uppermost floors
of the back anexe became the hiding place.
After more than two years the group was
betrayed and deported. Anne and Margot died
of typhus in Bergen-Belsen in March 1945,
only a few weeks before this concentration
camp was liberated. Otto Frank, the only
member of the group to survive, returned
after the war.
During the hiding period Anne Frank kept
a diary. In it she described daily life
in the back anexe, the isolation and the
fear of discovery. Anne's diary survived
the war: after the betrayal it was found
by Miep Gies, one of the helpers. When it
was confirmed that Anne would not be returning,
Miep gave the manuscripts to Otto Frank.
In 1947 the first Dutch edition appeared.
Since then the diary has been published
in more then 55 languages.
