Virtual Field Trip: The Secret Annex

I went on an online virtual field trip to The Secret Annex where Anne Frank hid for more than 2 years during WWII and where she wrote in her diary. I would like to write and blog about my experience. Stay tuned for pictures!!

During the daytime this was the living room for Annes family and at night this is where her sister Margot, her mother Edith and her father Otto slept in. The room was very pretty.

Over here is Annes room where she slept in and also wrote in her diary. She wrote about her day and her everyday life. 

This is the kitchen where they ate and made dinner at 4:00 pm. At 5:30 pm is when the people outside were done with work and Annes family were able to eat comfortably with no cautions. 

The Attic was where Anne was able to have some peace and quiet time with herself. She also loved to watch out the window. Sadly the family weren't able to be around the windows and had to stay away but luckily the attic window was allowed and it gave Anne a chance to see outside. 

This was where the family used the bathroom and had to stop using it before 8:00 am. While in hiding in the Secret Annex, they couldn't use the toilet or washbasin freely during the day becausethe pipes ran through the warehouse, and the warehouse workers started their day earlier than the office staff. This was a crucial precaution to avoid detection and maintain their secrecy. The noise of flushing the toilet or using the washbasin during the warehouse staff's working hours could have been heard and potentially raised suspicion. 

That is all I have discovered during my virtual field trip from The Secret Annex. I must say I really enjoyed it and also loved Annes diary. During 4th grade I made a project about Anne Frank and I specifically chose her as my field trip since she was my favorite story when I was younger. Reading her and discovering her in a virtual 360 field trip has made it even more awesome. I hope you all enjoyed the experience as much as I did!!
