Anne Frank Stichting organisation was founded in 1957 in collaboration with Otto Frank, Anne’s father, and is dedicated to the preservation of the building at Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam, where the Frank family and others were in hiding during WWII. Since 1960 the building, known as the Anne Frank House, is open to the public as a museum, bringing Anne’s words, as made famous by her diary, to the attention of people worldwide.
