3D cardboard model – The Secret Annex INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Many students immediately associate ‘Anne Frank’
with ‘Diary’ and ‘The Jewish girl who hid behind a
bookcase’. They often have no idea what the space
behind the bookcase looked like or, for that matter,
what happened there. The starting point of this 3D
model of the Secret Annex is to gain a better understanding of the hiding place.

The Sec
Annex
Educational objectives
Students will:
• know the most important facts related to the
Secret Annex.
• immerse themselves in a particular space, get
familiar with the main characters and be able to
speak about this in their own words.
• make some furniture pieces to gain a better
understanding of the interior of the Secret
Annex.
• be able to name a few problems the people in
hiding encountered.
• come to realize the importance of the helpers.
• be able to tell in their own words what happened
to the people in hiding after their arrest.
• know that Otto Frank was the only one out of
the eight people in hiding who returned after the
war, that Miep Gies gave him Anne’s diary and
that he published it as a book.
The 3D model package contains:
> loose parts to build the Annex
> this leaflet with building instructions and
teaching suggestions
> a poster of Prinsengracht 263.
Teaching suggestions
Before you assemble the 3D model…
1.
Make sure the students have a basic knowledge of
the life of Anne Frank up to the period of going
into hiding.
2.
Make the students aware of the fact that the spaces,
as they are today and as such being part of the Anne
Frank House, are unfurnished. They are completely
empty, as decided by Otto Frank after his return. After
the arrest of the people in hiding, the Nazis ordered
the Annex to be emptied and Otto wanted to leave
it that way. In 1960, Otto had some models made in
order to give visitors an impression of the interior
during the period in hiding.
CLUE: Show the students the models on the
digiboard. Show the models as well when students
are making furniture out of cardboard.
You can find images of the models on
www.annefrank.org/3Dmodel
3.
Tell your students that approximately 28,000 Jewish
men, women and children went into hiding in the
Netherlands. However, the situation of Anne and
the other people in hiding was exceptional and not
representative.
• Most Jewish families were separated. Children often
went into hiding without their parents.
• Many people hid in the countryside, not in cities.
Some Jewish children could even go to school and
play outside.
• Many people in hiding had to change addresses
frequently to stay safe. Survivor Ed van Thijn, for
example, hid in 18 different places.

You can find worksheets and the answers on:
www.annefrank.org/3Dmodel
1. In some assignments, the worksheets refer
to stories and information that can be found
in the Secret Annex online. See:
www.annefrank.org/en/Subsites/Home/
Students can view a furnished Secret Annex on
this site. It is useful for them to know their way
around this website.
2. Assemble the 3D model. You can do this yourself
or you could assign this task to a few students.
3. Use the poster of the building at Prinsengracht
263 so that it is clear that the Secret Annex/the
hiding place is part of a larger building.
4. Divide your class into five groups and give
each group a worksheet relating to part of the
interior and the characters that belong to that
particular space.
5. Ask each group to divide the questions and
assignments among themselves.
6. Each group answers questions and makes the
furniture for their assigned space.
7. Each group places its furniture in their assigned
The people in hiding have been betrayed! To this day
it is unclear who betrayed them. The people in hiding
are arrested and transported to prison by truck.
Anne’s diary, her notebooks and the loose sheets she’s
been writing on are left behind in the Secret Annex.
Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl, two of their helpers, find
these when they go into the hiding place after the
arrest. Miep keeps them safe in her deskdrawer.
First, the Nazis bring the fugitives to Westerbork, a
large transit camp in the province of Drenthe, and
from there, with more than a thousand other Dutch
Jews, to Auschwitz concentration camp. On the
platform of Auschwitz the men are separated from
the women. This is when Anne and Margot see their
father for the last time. They are then moved to
Bergen-Belsen, another concentration camp, where
they die in March 1945, shortly before the liberation
of the camp (15 April 1945).
Otto Frank is the only one of the eight people in
hiding who survives the Holocaust. In June 1945 he
returns to liberated Holland. Miep gives him Anne’s
diary, notebooks and loose sheets of paper after it is
clear the girls will not return. Otto reads in the diary
that Anne really wanted to publish a book after the
war. To fulfill her wish he compiles her diary entries
into a real novel: Diary of a Young Girl. It is first
published in Dutch, followed by translations in more
than 70 different languages.
space.
8. Each group presents their space and what they
have discovered in front of the class.
After the 3D model has been built and the students
have presented their assigned spaces…
Tell your students what happened to the people in
hiding. Below are the most important facts:
On 6 June 1944 the people in hiding get good news.
A large army has landed in France to liberate the
occupied countries in Europe. This gives everybody
hope. Anne thinks she may even go back to school
again in October. But on the 4th of August a
car suddenly halts in front of Otto Frank’s office
building. Led by a Nazi officer, three Dutch police
officers enter the building. They go to the hiding
place behind the bookcase.
