On Tuesday, 8 August 1944, Anne Frank and the other people from the Secret Annex were transferred from House of Detention I in Amsterdam to the Westerbork transit camp. They were taken to Amsterdam Central Station by police-guarded streetcar. The train trip – in a regular passenger train – will have taken five to six hours. The people from the Secret Annex were held in Westerbork until 3 September 1944.
