New VR project heads to Anne Frank's World War II hideaway.

Welcome to the weird world of consumer virtual reality, where an experience that plunges you into Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II is a real thing — rather than a really dark joke.
Anne, from director Danny Abrahms, producer Jonah Hirsch and CGO Studios, gives HMD-wearers an opportunity to visit Amsterdam's "Secret Annex." It was there that Anne Frank, her family and a handful of other Jews evaded Nazi persecution from 1942 to 1944.
Anne aims to be a more experiential visit than the Anne Frank House museum — built on the site of the Secret Annex — can provide. 
"To experience this film will be to immerse oneself into a place and time, to move about a room, amongst the people, and sense the moment in a way never possible before [virtual reality]," Abrahms told Entertainment Weekly.
Hirsch has some experience with recreating historical moments in VR. He also produced First, a trip back to Kitty Hawk, N.C. in 1903, where sibling inventors Orville and Wilbur Wright took to the skies in the world's first airplane. 
There's no indication yet of when Anne will be available or which VR headset(s) it's coming to.
