Statue of Anne Frank, Bronze memorial near Anne Frank House, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The life-size statue stands in a reflective pose at Merwedeplein square, where Anne Frank lived before going into hiding during World War II.

Created by sculptor Jet Schepp in 1977, the statue marks the location where Anne Frank spent her childhood before the Nazi occupation forced her family underground.

The statue serves as a memorial point for yearly commemorations of Holocaust victims and educational programs about tolerance and human rights.

The statue can be reached via tram lines 4 and 12, with stops within 300 meters of the Merwedeplein location.

Recent incidents of vandalism led to enhanced security measures including video surveillance and increased lighting around the memorial.
