INTRODUCTION
Anne Frank is world famous. Millions of people from all over the world have read her diary. The Anne Frank Foundation
promotes Anne Frank and her mental legacy. The travelling exhibition ‘Anne Frank — A History for Today’ is by far the
most visited Dutch exhibition in the world. My interest in the persecution of the Jews in general — and that of Anne
Frank in particular — has gradually developed. In 1994-1996, I took part in volunteer projects in the former concentration
camps — Sachsenhausen and Dachau — in Germany. During these activities, I was deeply afflicted by the contrast
between the present silence in the former concentration camps and the past suffering of the prisoners who had been
held captive here during the war. What afflicted me more than anything, however, was the cruelty of the Nazi regime
— and the extent of that cruelty. In particular, I found one of the most shocking things as the sight of lampshades made
from human skin; understandably, a number of the younger participants did not handle this sight too well. In 2001,
I visited the Annex for the first time. The Annex leaves a deep impression on many people, and I was no exception.
I could feel the tensions of the persons in hiding, and I realised that Anne had become caught in the Nazis’ web: she had
been torn away from her everyday world; her life was broken before it could blossom. Anne was interested in culture,
religion and science, and she had a keen interest in society at large, being very concerned about everybody’s ups and
downs, and trials of life; that was why I thought it was so dismal that she had been killed — and only owing to the fact
that she was a Jew. The need in me arose to portray the life of Anne Frank — not by means of a biography or a book
with old pictures — many of which have been published many times before — but in a different light. Ultimately, I wanted
to discover whether there are still remnants of her past life and surroundings lingering in the present. As a historic and
photographer, I enjoy combining history and photography. As such, I firstly immersed myself in literature about, and by,
Anne Frank. I considered this to be absolutely fundamental so that I could purposively take current pictures of her
surroundings. In 2008-2009, I made a photo-report about the residences of Anne Frank (1929-1945). I visited her home
addresses in Frankfurt am Main, Aachen, the Merwedeplein in Amsterdam, her place of hiding in the Annex in
Amsterdam, and the concentration camps of Westerbork, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Bergen-Belsen, where she was
imprisoned. I have provided the pictures of short notes explaining the connection with Anne Frank; my recent pictures
are an important addition to the many old pictures of Anne Frank. The emptiness left behind by Anne Frank becomes
evident when I place a recent picture next to an old picture which depicts her, taken from the same angle. When making
the pictures, I took special notice of interesting details and the historical character of the subject; after all, the pictures
are the result of personal experiences, which were often quite intense. My pictures show that the traces of her
residences are still visible in the (rural) landscape. You can map out your own route along the places which are
reminiscent of Anne Frank. I got permission for visiting and taking pictures of the (inside) locations from the
organisations concerned. My visits to those locations were carried out respectfully whilst actively taking into
consideration the applicable rules of the locations. I hope that my picture book inspires the reader and viewer to delve
deeper into the history of the Holocaust and Anne Frank, and that it contributes to the mutual tolerance and
understanding between people and cultures.
