Safe house

A safe house (also spelled safehouse) is a dwelling place or building whose unassuming appearance makes it an inconspicuous location where one can hide out, take shelter, or conduct clandestine activities.

It may also refer to: Typically, the significance of safe houses is kept secret from all but a limited number of people, for the safety of those hidden within them.

[1][2] Safe houses also provided a refuge for victims of Nazi persecution and for escaping prisoners of war.

Victims, such as Anne Frank and her family, were harbored clandestinely for extended periods of time.

Other Jewish victims that were hidden from the Germans include Philip Slier and his extended family and friends.
