An immersive AI tour recreates Anne Frank's life in Amsterdam.

Using artificial intelligence and a mobile phone , a new immersive experience follows Anne Frank in 1940s Amsterdam , an interactive reconstruction of the Dutch Jewish girl 's life under Nazi occupation .

In 1941, young Anne and her sister Margo had to walk 2.5 kilometers to school every day because anti-Semitic laws prohibited them from using public transportation or bicycles. An experience that can now be relived virtually .

"We created this product to bring Anne Frank closer to a wider audience," explains Moti Erdeapel, director of CityFans, the company behind the project, which combines tourism and technology.

"The Anne Frank House, the museum, is very small and has limited capacity. Many people come here and are disappointed because they can't discover Anne Frank," he notes.

More than a million tourists visit the small house and annex each year , where the young Jewish woman and her family hid from the Nazis for two years.

To discover the place where the young woman wrote her famous diary, visitors must book a month and a half in advance.

But with the virtual visit you only need a mobile phone, headphones and a code that gives access to a 7-kilometer route in 12 stages .

Audio narration accompanies the visitor , as well as animations generated by artificial intelligence using data from the archives of the Anne Frank Institute, the City of Amsterdam, and the Holocaust Museum.

"We've tried to unearth the stories that most people don't know, but that are incredible, of people who truly risked their lives to save children from Nazism," Erdeapel explains.

One stop on the tour is the home of Miep Gies , a Dutch Catholic who helped the Franks hide . Her facial features are brought to life using archival photos.

In the trendy De Pijp district , the visit reveals the site of the popular Koco ice cream parlor , now a café.

This ice cream parlor was owned by German Jewish refugees , who were the driving forces behind a resistance movement that led to the only demonstration against the treatment of Jews in Amsterdam, which was bloodily suppressed.

"This story touches my heart because it's important not only for Amsterdam , but for me personally," says Erdeapel, who is of Polish and Hungarian Jewish origin.

" My grandparents survived the Holocaust, as did many members of my family, and I grew up hearing stories about the Holocaust and about the people who didn't survive," adds the 45-year-old Amsterdammer.

While recognizing the importance of museums, Erdeapel sees this guided tour as an opportunity to tell Anne Frank's story to a new, technology-conscious generation .

"It's very important that we do good research, that we work on storytelling, and that there is a human aspect to the creation," he insists.

Some 107,000 Dutch Jews and refugees were deported during World War II.

Of these, 102,000, including Anne Frank, were murdered , i.e. about 75% of the pre-war Jewish population.
