Note from the editor
During the summer-season many people from all over the world visit the Anne Frank House. This can mean people have to line up before entering the museum. Many visitors seem to be unaware of the fact that from April through August the museum is opened every day from 9 am till 9 p.m. The museum tends to be more quiet during the evening. Therefore, we would like to suggest our visitors to consider visiting the museum late in the afternoon/early in the evening.
