The Anne Frank House (Dutch: Anne Frank Huis) is a writer's house and biographical museum dedicated to Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank. The building is located on a canal called the Prinsengracht, close to the Westerkerk, in central Amsterdam in the Netherlands. During World War II, Anne Frank hid from Nazi persecution with her family and four other people in hidden rooms, in the rear building, of the 17th-century canal house, later known as the Secret Annex (Dutch: Achterhuis). She did not survive the war but her wartime diary was published in 1947. Ten years later the Anne Frank Foundation was established to protect the property from developers who wanted to demolish the block. The museum opened on 3 May 1960. It preserves the hiding place, has a permanent exhibition on the life and times of Anne Frank, and has an exhibition space about all forms of persecution and discrimination. In 2013 and 2014, the museum had 1.2 million visitors and was the 3rd most visited museum in the Netherlands, after the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum.

The Anjeliersgracht (Carnation Canal) is a former canal in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam. After being backfilled in 1861, it is now Westerstraat.

The Westerstraat is a major street in the Jordaan, a neighborhood of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. The street was created by the filling in of the Anjeliersgracht.

The statue of Anne Frank on the Westermarkt in Amsterdam is a statue of the German-Jewish girl Anne Frank, who died at the age of fifteen during the Holocaust. Through her diary, Anne Frank has become a worldwide symbol of the victims of the Holocaust. The statue was designed in 1975 by Mari Andriessen and unveiled in 1977 by the Mayor of Amsterdam, Ivo Samkalden, and Otto Frank, Anne Frank's father. At the unveiling, similarities were noted with the statue of Anne Frank in Utrecht by Pieter d'Hont. In both statues, Anne Frank stands proudly with her hands behind her back. While d'Hont depicted Anne Frank with her feet firmly on the ground, Andriessen portrayed her as the young woman she wanted to be but could never become. The monogram of Andriessen (MA) is inscribed on the pedestal. The statue was commissioned by Contact Publishing, the publisher of The Diary of Anne Frank, and donated to the city of Amsterdam. The Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem holds both a standing and a seated preliminary design of the statue. The statue is located in front of the southern side wall of the Westerkerk. It is thus on the opposite side of the Westerkerk from the Anne Frank House. In July 2024, the statue was defaced by pro-Palestinian activists. Another statue of Anne Frank is located at Merwedeplein near her childhood home, where she lived for over eight years before going into hiding with her family.

The Anne Frank tree (Dutch: Anne Frankboom or, incorrectly, Anne Frank boom) was a horse-chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) in the city center of Amsterdam that was featured in Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne Frank described the tree from The Annexe, the building where she and her family were hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Over the years, the tree deteriorated significantly due to both a fungus and a moth infestation. The Borough Amsterdam Centrum declared that the tree had to be cut down on 20 November 2007 due to the risk that it could otherwise fall down. However, on 21 November 2007, a judge issued a temporary injunction stopping the removal. The Foundation and the neighbours developed an alternative plan to save the tree. The neighbours and supporters formed the Foundation Support Anne Frank Tree which carried out the suggested supporting construction and took over the maintenance of the tree. On 23 August 2010, the tree was blown down by high winds during a storm, breaking off approximately 1 metre (3 feet) above ground. It fell across a garden wall and damaged garden sheds but did not damage anything else. The tree was estimated to be between 150 and 170 years old.

The Homomonument is a memorial in the centre of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. It commemorates all gay men and lesbians who have been persecuted because of their sexual orientation. Opened on 5 September 1987, it was the first monument in the world to commemorate gays and lesbians who were killed by the Nazis.The monument takes the form of three large pink triangles made of granite, set into the ground, which together compose a larger triangle. It is on the bank of the Keizersgracht canal, near the historic Westerkerk church. The Homomonument was designed to "inspire and support lesbians and gays in their struggle against denial, oppression and discrimination." During the Netherlands' annual Remembrance Day ceremony on 4 May, wreaths are laid on the monument to commemorate LGBT victims of persecution. A day later, on Liberation Day, the monument becomes the site of a street party.
