40. The Underground Hideout Where Anne Frank Wrote Her Diary – Amsterdam, Netherlands

In a hidden annex behind a warehouse in Amsterdam, a young Jewish girl named Anne Frank spent 761 days in hiding, writing the diary that would later become one of the most powerful firsthand accounts of the Holocaust. The cramped space where she and her family lived in fear is now preserved as the Anne Frank House, allowing visitors to walk through the very rooms where she wrote her heartbreaking, yet hopeful words.
