Amazon.com Review:
Visit het achterhuis on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam and explore the annex where Anne Frank wrote her renowned diary. With more than 1,000 historical photos, over 15 video films, and four hours of spoken text, Anne Frank House presents a complete picture of all the details Anne sought to capture in her diary. The software even includes a copy of Anne's diary, complete with 30 percent more material than the original published version.

Install the application and within minutes you'll have access to not only the program, but the Anne Frank Web site as well. The software is set up to resemble the actual house where Anne and her family hid during World War II. Using the mouse, we were able to navigate our way through different rooms throughout the building, as well as other buildings in the surrounding area. The program does an amazing job of capturing the neighborhood in which the family hid for all those years, as well as the actual rooms and corridors of their secret annex.

Aside from a virtual tour of the house, complete with posters on the wall and food on the table, the program comes complete with dozens of short stories and explanations about the lives of all the occupants of 123 Prinsengracht. Click on the revolving cube that sits in the lower left-hand corner of your screen and choose from a number of options, including Timelines, People, Hidden Places, and more. We especially appreciated the outline of a typical day in the annex, where clicking on a particular time would launch a detailed explanation of what went on in the house at that particular hour.

While the program may seem a bit overwhelming at times, mainly because of the large scope of information offered, it just takes a little time and practice to adjust to the application. In addition, a helpful lost-and-found navigation feature makes it easy to move around the software without losing your bearings. However, we found that sometimes the best way to experience this type of program is simply to point and click and see where it takes you. And if you do get stumped on a term or expression, the comprehensive glossary and help section is usually accessible from wherever you may be in the application.

Designed for both students and teachers, Anne Frank House takes a comprehensive yet sensitive look at the complete story of Anne Frank, the families in hiding, and the vast, sometimes incomprehensible war that unfolded before their very eyes. --Gisele Toueg

Amazon.com Product Description:
Explore the house on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam where Anne Frank wrote her diary Het achterhuis (The annex). In cooperation with the Anne Frank Museum, the house was specially arranged to correspond to the way it was during Anne's period in hiding. This CD-ROM, designed for both students and adults, is presented in clear language, and uses vivid images and film material. A complete picture of everything involving Anne Frank is presented in detail: her family, the house, the war, and the conditions of the Frank family's hidden life. See the house as if you were there. Visit rooms, become acquainted with the people involved, and learn history in a unique and personal manner. The CD-ROM features more than 1,000 historical photos, 15 video files (including the only moving pictures of Anne Frank), over 300 slideshows, and four hours of spoken text and other audio effects.

This package also includes the book The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition by Anne Frank. The original diary, edited into a shorter version by Otto Frank, omitted selected material from Anne Frank's original diary and her own rewritten and edited version. The Definitive Edition contains passages from Anne's original writings that add approximately 30 percent more material.

- The ULTIMATE Anne Frank Resource!
This is an excellent program! I can not sing it's praises enough. I've wanted to get a copy of it for a while, but the price threw me. However, I finally broke down and got it. I've studied Anne Frank and her diary for years and always wanted to visit the annex where she hid. Unfortunately, that will likely never happen, but this CD-ROM is the next best thing, because it makes it seem like you are actually there. Starting out front, you can tour the entire Prisengracht office building as it appeared ... Read More

- Simply fantastic!
Watching the snippet--all too short--of a young Anne Frank peering from a window literally took my breath! What a literary and historic treasure this CD brings to its users! The tour of the house is easily accomplished, the historic photos, timelines and footnotes are informative and simple to access.

If you have any interest in WWII or Anne Frank herself, this is an invaluable resource, easily worth its purchase price! Don't hesitate--get it now!

- EXCELLENT SOFTWARE!!!
This is an excellent program! I recieved it as an early birthday present. Since I learned about Anne Frank and the holocaust, I have always wanted to visit the secret annex where the Franks, Van Pels, and Mr. Pfefer hid for two years before they were captured and sent to various concentration camps by the Nazis. This program is the next best thing to actually visting the Anne Frank house. (Het Achterhuis as the Dutch call it.) It makes it seem like you are actually there. You can tour Prisengracht, the ...
