The House on the Canal: The Story of the House that Hid Anne Frank

Charting 400 years of history, this is the astonishing true story of the Anne Frank House, beautifully illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.

In the middle of Amsterdam stands a tall, narrow house on a canal. Over the course of four centuries the house has been a home to many - from poor families to wealthy couples, and those hiding from persecution. Like the family of a young Jewish girl who sought refuge in the annexe and wrote in her diary of the "old house on the canal". The girl's name was Anne Frank, and her diary became world famous.
