    The post boxes in the Netherlands are bright red and hard to miss. Post offices are open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6 pm. Postage on a postcard is roughly .50 Euros to anywhere, although if you are sending one across the ocean it can take roughly a week to get to its destination. Make sure you mark your envelopes "air mail," "par avion," or "per luchtpost" or it probably won't get there! To send an international letter or postcard, drop it in the overige slot of a mailbox.

    Museums: Rembrandt's House

  • For the art lovers, a visit to Rembrandt's home is a must! It was so much better than we expected to be able to see the great Rembrandt's studio, and the home gave us a feel for Dutch life during his time. And we could not even begin to count how many Rembrandt works we saw there!

  • About museums in Amsterdam, of course you have the world famous Van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum. In this last museum you can find the Nightwatch of Rembrandt. (Both near the Museumsquare). Then you have the Stedelijk museum (also in that neighbourhood). These three museums certainly are worth a visit, I think.

    Another famous place in Amsterdam is the Anne Frank house. You can find that at the Prinsengracht (in the center of the city).

    The Rijksmuseum

    In the halls of this wonderful building a large collection of buildings are available, including Rembrandt and Vermeer.

    The Van Gogh museum (another must see) is close to here.

    Anne Frank was born in 1929 in Frankfurt am Main in Germany. In 1933, the anti-Jewish National Socialist Party led by Hitler comes to power. Anne Frank's Jewish parents Edith and Otto Frank perceive that there is no future in Germany for themselves and their children. They flee to the Netherlands in 1933. Anne is then four years old. Until she is eleven she grows up without a care in a relatively safer Holland. In 1940, the Netherlands is occupied by Germany and the protection that Holland provides comes to an end.
    Anne's life is increasingly restricted by the anti-Jewish Decrees. In 1942 the deportations to the 'work camps' begin. Anne's parents see the possibility of going into hiding in the annex of the building that houses Otto's business. Anne writes her diary during the two years in hiding in the Secret Annex. In August 1944, the people in hiding are arrested and deported. Via the transit camp Westerbork and then Auschwitz, Anne goes to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She dies there in March 1945.
    Otto and Edith Frank protect Anne from the danger that threatens them for as long as possible. Only a few days before going into hiding, Anne's father tells her that they are not going to a camp but are going to hide from the Germans. On July 5, 1942, a call-up notice arrives for Margot and the family goes into hiding the following day. Even though Anne sees hiding as an exciting adventure in the beginning, soon enough the hiding place becomes too small for her restless character.
