Anne Frank Huis in Amsterdam
By sandra. Filed in History, Holland, Museum |
A solemn reverent place is the Anne Frank Huis (www.annefrank.org) where, at 66 years after her death, it sports the longest lines and is worth the wait (go early). You walk behind the bookcase to the secret attic apartment where she lived with her sister Margot, her parents, and others. There are still pencil marks on wall marking her growth. Quotes are on the walls from her World War II diary, “I long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the world, feel young and know that I’m free”. She died in a concentration camp one month before liberation.
