Anne Frank Tree Sint-Oedenrode

Corridor, Sint-Oedenrode
North Brabant, Netherlands, the

This tree, planted in 2024, is a descendant of the chestnut that Anne Frank could see from her hiding place in Amsterdam and about which, among other things, she wrote in her world-famous diary on 18 April 1944: ‘Our chestnut is already quite green, and here and there you can even see little candles...’ A plaque placed near the tree reads: ‘This Anne Frank tree symbolises hope for the future. The same hope Anne Frank had, looking at this tree from the Achterhuis’.
