Have you ever wanted to visit a place that you know you may never get to? Or as a teacher, take your class across the world even though you realize that’s impossible? The new phenomenon of virtual field tripping can take you to places you have never been!
I chose to take myself on an adventure to visit the annex that Anne Frank had hid in during the Holocaust. Although I have read Anne’s diary, It was hard for me to understand and picture the linguistics of the building she hid in. As a student who is minoring in Holocaust studies, I have always wanted to visit historical places that played a big role in educating young minds about the Holocaust. This virtual tour provides you the opportunity to see it all!
During your tour, you can click on any part of a replica of the building Anne hid in to see what the rooms looked like. You can also click on certain objects to read about. Through out the tour are informational videos as well that teach you about certain aspects of the Annex and its occupants daily lives. I highly recommend you visit!

Wow, this was very cool to go through and look at. It is such a heartfelt topic and it was really interesting to see the building and interact with it and each room. This was great to see, thank you for sharing this! I definitely am going to show this to my brother, who is currently learning about this!
