About - Anne Frank House CD
Introduction
The Anne Frank House is the house on the
Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, where Anne
Frank wrote her now world-famous diary
(The Annex) during the Second World War.
For this CD-ROM, the Anne Frank House
was specially arranged to correspond to
the way it was during Anne's period in
hiding. This CD-ROM, designed for both
adults and young people, gives - in
clear language and using unique images
and film material - a complete picture
of everything involving Anne Frank, her
family, the House, the Second World War,
and hiding from the occupying forces.
Virtual tour
You visit the front and rear parts of
the House (known in Dutch as the
voorhuis and Achterhuis), and go back in
time to the Second World War. For the
CD-ROM, the Anne Frank House was
specially laid out as it had been during
the time that Anne was in hiding. It
seems as if you yourself are actually in
the House and, by moving the mouse, you
can view all around and also move
through the building. You are at the
centre of a sphere and can turn 360
degrees and look upwards and downwards
as well. Doors open for you and you can
zoom in on all kinds of objects that you
encounter. You can request supplementary
information on these items.
The people
You become acquainted with the people
involved in the story: Anne, her father
Otto, her mother Edith, her sister
Margot, and also the other people in
hiding and the helpers such as Miep Gies
and others. The CD-ROM tells the story
of their lives during the war, and
contains unique images and information:
including eye-witness reports and
pictures from the Frank family album.
The times
You will learn history in a unique and
personal manner. What actually happened
in the Second World War? What do anti-semitism
and persecution mean? Why did people
have to go into hiding? What are
concentration camps? The facts are
narrated by means of multimedia
techniques involving slide shows,
photographs, video fragments and spoken
language. The story is told in a way
that appeals to both adults and young
people.
