Anne Frank Museum 11th September 2008

This Anne Frank Museum is definitely worth the visit. If you don't know the story, Anne Frank was a young girl who spent several years living in a tiny section of a house with her family and some family friends, hiding from the Germans because they were Jews. Once you know the story, it is really amazing to see the actual tiny room where so many people lived for so long. There is an easy to follow route around the house, and displays on the walls which tell you about the room and link it back to Anne Frank's diary. There are also some video displays which you should stay and watch as they help you to understand. Its quite a sobering experience but definitely worth a visit. Sometimes the line to get in can get quite long so I would recommend going later in the day, but make sure you leave enough time to see everything.

Anne Frank's House 5th October 2007

No-one should leave Amsterdam without a visit to the house where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazi’s for 25 months, from 6 July 1942 to 4 August 1944.

The first translation of “The Secret Annex” appeared in Dutch in 1947 and since then the book Anne Franks diary has been translated into more than 60 languages.
The original diary is on display in the museum.

I first read this young girl's diary as part of my school cirriculum. The feeling I felt when being inside the secret annex was one of sadness, how brave she was in the face of adversity and terror. Her father Otto Frank survived Auschwitz of the 8 people that were in hiding.

Be advised there are very long queues so get her early or later in the day. Also bear in mind that you are not allowed to take photographs inside the museum. It does get exceptionally busy inside and you are asked to pass through the house in a respectfull manner.
