Wholesale The House on the Canal / Documentary / Anne Frank

In the heart of Amsterdam stands a tall, narrow house near a canal. It was built 400 years ago, during the Dutch Golden Age. It has served as a residence, a refuge during the Black Plague, a warehouse, a stable... and a hiding place. The annex sheltered a young Jewish girl during the German occupation, who wrote in her diary about "the old house near the canal." Her name was Anne Frank, and this house is now one of the most visited museums in the world. Thomas Harding's sensitive text spans the ages, carried by the subtly veiled photographic realism of Britta Teckentrup's images.
