Probably the most famous sight in Amsterdam is the The Anne Frank House, where the young Jewish diarist and her family hid during the Nazi occupation of this city during World War 2.
Recommend reading her book prior to visiting here. This will give a little more feeling and familarity to your visit. (otherwise, the appearance of this home is a fairly unremarkable Dutch row house...)
Also recommend getting here early to beat the crowds, as this is a popular place to visit, and the queues can be quite long... (lest one waste valuable time in Amsterdam that could be more productively spent disposing of a few Amstels at the corner pub...)

But before I continue my story, I want to tell you something about Anne Frank first. Here is her lifestory in short, from the Anne Frank website :
http://www.annefrank.nl/eng/default2.html
-------------------------------------------------------------
- July 15,1944 -
"It is utterly impossible for me to build
my life on a foundation of chaos,
suffering and death. I see the world being
slowly tranformed into a wilderness,
I hear the approaching thunder that,
one day, will destroy us too, I feel the
suffering of millions. And yet, when I
look up at the sky, I somehow feel that
everything will change for the better,
that this cruelty too shall end, that peace
and tranquility will return once more"
[fragment of Anne Frank's Diary]
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

 Anne Frank House by gasca
The house is full of tourists always, so to avoid masses get up very early, it opens from 9am-9pm.
In case you haven't read the novel I recommend you it, Anne is a sweet and nice girl you will instantly like his innocent way of telling things. Leave a Comment

It is a very busy attraction! If you really want to see it, be ready to queue a lot or simply get up early to avoid the big queue.... Leave a Comment
