After working many years on a accurate reconstruction of Anne Frank’s hiding place in Amsterdam (which has been nominated for a Dutch Infographic Award), Chantal van Wessel and Frederik Ruys illustrated the construction kit of the secret annex, commissioned by the Anne Frank Foundation and Dutch agency Young Crowds. The kit is specially developed for pupils at primary schools.
