Record visitors to Anne Frank House

The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam reported record visitors of around 1.3 million people in 2016.

The museum says Visitors came from every corner of the world, Ronald Leopold, the museum's executive director said.

"The connection that these people feel with Anne Frank and her life story is always moving and inspiring," he said.

Anne with her family and four other people - all Jews hiding from Nazi German occupiers - lived in a secret annex of the house on the street of Prinsengracht from 1942 to 1944, and this is where she wrote her famous diary.

The hiding place was discovered in 1944 and all eight of its inhabitants were arrested. Anne died in spring 1945 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
