Secret Annex Online

Nice example of multimedia to go along with a book, the Anne Frank 3D hiding place in Amsterdam. If you have ever been in the house you will note that you saw no furnishings. In one respect this virtual house helps visualization of the way it looked by adding furnishings as Anne described them. The site can be changed to English, Dutch or German.
