After the Second World War, the former shelter at the Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam is threatened to expire. Otherwise, the resistance to demolition grew, because the Anne Frank story reached more and more people. The result is that in the mid-1950s demolition was prevented and shortly thereafter the Anne Frank Foundation was founded. Today, Anne Frank House is one of the three most visited museums of Amsterdam - The Netherlands.
A number of improvement points have been implemented in the refurbishment. The new museum route now offers much more context information for visitors without thorough knowledge of the Second World War and the Jewish Persecution. In addition, the experience aspect has been strongly influenced and some forms of presentation have been renewed. Dagmar von Wilcken has sought in the new design for more unity in the design of the museum presentations.
