Anne first wrote in her diary, which she was given for her thirteenth birthday on 12 June 1942, in the apartment. Three weeks later the family went into hiding.
The Ymere housing corporation bought the property in 2004, and restored the building in its original 1930s style in partnership with the Anne Frank House,[1] which became the owner of the Frank’s family former home on Merwedeplein in 2017.
Four Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) commemorate the stay of the Frank family at this address.[2] The interior of the Frank's family former home can be seen in 3D via Google Arts & Culture.[3]
