Millions have passed through its doors, but few know the full story of the house in Amsterdam's Canal District that hid Anne Frank and her family. Built in 1635 by an enterprising Dutch businessman, over the next 400 years the house would welcome a cast of extraordinary characters - merchants, craftsmen, scientists, religious dissenters - and bear witness to some of the most dramatic events in history as the country grew into a powerful modern nation.
This is the enthralling portrait of one remarkable house through time: a place of life, death, work, sanctuary and celebration, and an enduring memorial to the horrors of war and a young girl's hope for humanity.
