 | Amsterdam Anne Frank House Reviews | 1 - 10 of 270 |  |
Just around the corner from the Anne Frank House, on the Westermarkt, is a a very sweet statue (by Mari Andriessen) of the little Jewish girl who lived in the Secret Annex until her family were found and she died at Bergen-Belsen, 3 months before her 16th birthday.
On the day that I visited there were an elderly gentleman and his grandaughter (greatgrandaughter??) - she was looking intently at the statue and listening to his explanation... it was for me one of the most moving moments of all my visits to Amsterdam. Leave a Comment

 Anne Frank House and Museum by Rachael71
Upon entering the museum, you pass through an interesting exhibition about Anne and the others who were in hiding with her, before reaching the rooms in which they lived for several years. Anne's own room still has the pictures of film stars that she pasted to the walls. The museum is so busy and bustling that it is difficult to experience the same silence that they must have had to bear day after day - I imagine that if you were there on a quiet day it would be quite eerie.
It's an extremely moving place to visit, compounded by the additional exhibition at the end of the museum that reminds us that even today people all over the world are experiencing the same prejudices and victimisation as Anne and her family did more than 60 years ago.
A tip - if you are visiting in the summer, go to the house in the early evening. It is open until 8pm, and the queues don't snake around the block as they do during the day. Leave a Comment

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.
As at 2009 Aduts E8 Children 10-17 E4 tour lasts approx an hour no guided tours. There is limited disabled access. The information is posted in English and dutch. No discount for I-amsterdam card or museumkaart
Opening times winter months 9am - 7pm summer 9am - 10am Leave a Comment

 door to secret annex by doug48 |
No trip can be complete to Amsterdam unless you have seen the Anne Frank house. I remember reading the book when I was a little girl so it had special meaning to me. It was like having read the book then coming here made it the more real to me. It was even alittle emotional. You cant take pictures in here but at the end of the tour there is a bookstore where you can purchase postcards of all the pictures you might have wanted to take. The post cards are about 1 euro each.
Here you can see pictures of Anne Frank and her family. There are also video clips of the father Otto Frank and other people who worked with, were in concentration camps, or knew either Anne frank or her family. The video clips of Otto Frank I found the most emotional. You can take a self guided tour of the house, see the bookcase that hid the entranceto their hiding place and see Anne Franks room. There are also pictures of what the place looked like back then. I think this place is a must see. You dont have to be Jewish to appreciate or to get emotional about what happened here.
Get here very early or very late to avoid the crowds. We came in November around 10am. We walked from the hotel we stayed at andthere was no line at all. Phone: +31-20-5567100Directions: The cost is about 7.50 euro and when we came the hours were from 9am til about 5pm. Check the times of operation before you come because hours do change according to what time of the year it is.Website: http://www.annefrank.nl

The Anne Frank House is a museum where visitors are given the opportunity to personally envision what happened on this very spot.
The rooms of the Secret Annex have been maintained in their authentic state thanks to conscientious preservation activities. The rooms in the Secret Annex are empty, because the furniture was carted away directly after the arrest. Salvaged documents and objects belonging to the eight people in hiding are now displayed in the Secret Annex.
