Anne Frank House

I've never been to The Anne Frank House.

This museum is located in the heart of Amsterdam. It is the house that was used by the Frank family while they were in hiding. It now houses many writings and artifacts from Anne Frank and others who were in hiding, as well as collections from those who helped them. You can see facsimiles of Anne's diary writings, as the originals are being kept for future generations. A purse that Otto brought out of the camp with him is also on display. You can learn about the business he ran as well. You can also view photographs and letters of the family.

There is another current exhibit on display called Free2Choose. It appears to be an interactive exhibit, exploring the freedoms we have and how these at times conflict with other humans and democratic societies. This display is an effort to explore the boundaries of those freedoms.

That I'd like to see.

Amsterdam

I've never been to Amsterdam .

This city is full of a charm all its own. Many tourists of course want to visit the house in which Anne Frank and her family hid during WWII. The house leaves an impression on the many visitors it brings. There is art and architecture to view as well. To get a unique view of the city's buildings, it is a must to take a ride down the canal. Art is also treasured in this city of Rembrandt. You can visit the house where he lived and painted. This city also offers shopping rivaling the likes of Paris, London and Milan. It has been said that Amsterdam has more to offer for those with less cash.
