On July 6, 1942 Anne Frank's family moved into a hidden apartment in the large building where Otto Frank worked. The following clip reveals what the Secret Annex looked like.
So there's a glimpse.
But if you want a more leisurely view, one in which you choose which room to visit and how long to stay, one with fascinating narration about the occupants and their relationships, I recommend the virtual 3-D tour of the Secret Annex.
After following the link above, click on the bookcase and watch it swing open. Enter the Secret Annex and imagine being in this space for over 2 years.
Imagine that even looking out the window was a dangerous activity.
Thanks for all the links. And for the reminders, a lot to think about.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about this today. How sad to think people were forced to do things like that in order to try and survive. I hope we can be viligant enough so it never happens again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing about it.
It's hard to imagine how you would react if this happened to your family. Great links!
