In the Secret Annex, the people in hiding could hear the Westerkerk (Wester Church) sound every fifteen minutes. Especially at night, the sound of the ringing church bells was reassuring to Anne. On 11 July 1942 Anne Frank wrote in her diary: 'Father, Mother and Margot still can't get used to the chiming of the Westertoren clock, which tells us the time every quarter of an hour. Not me, I liked it from the start; it sounds so reassuring, especially at night.' The recording on this video is from 1960.

About the Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House was established on 3 May 1957 in cooperation with Otto Frank, Anne Frank’s father. We are an independent non-profit organisation that runs a museum in the house where Anne Frank went into hiding and we try to increase awareness of Anne’s life story all over the world, encouraging people to reflect on the dangers of antisemitism, racism, and discrimination, and the importance of freedom, equal rights, and democracy.
