Why has the Secret Annex Online been furnished?
The real Secret Annex in Amsterdam is empty: during the war, the homes of deported Jews were cleared out. All the furniture, carpets and other items from the Secret Annex disappeared too. When Otto Frank revisited the Secret Annex after the war, he wanted it to remain empty. But on this educational website, the Anne Frank House wants instead to show the hiding place as it actually was during the war.
