The Anne Frank tree |
|
The Anne Frank tree is the horse-chestnut tree 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 annex, the building where she and her family were hiding for the Nazis during the Second World War. The tree is estimated between 150 and 170 years old, and for the past several years it has been battling both a fungus and a moth infestation. The council of the Amsterdam centre district declared that the tree had to be cut down on November 20, 2007 due to the risk that it could otherwise fall down.
