    4 Stars Very moving museum Diamond review 28/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very moving, not too pricey

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No disabled access, not a huge amount of exibits

    I visited Anne Frank's House on a visit to Amsterdam last week. 6 of us went on the trip and the only thing that we all agreed we wanted to see was Anne Frank's House. I wanted to see it, as being a historian this was one of the most important sites in the city. Others had read the book or even just heard Anne mentioned in passing. The thing was that everyone knew something about the story of Anne, which is pretty remarkable in itself, that a small girl's diary could become so famous. THE BACKGROUND: Most people will know at least the basics of Anne's story, but here's a reminder. Anne was a ... more

    5 Stars The Anne Frank House, Amsterdam Review with images 06/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting and informative.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No disabled access.

    The Anne Frank House, Amsterdam At the end of March 2012 during a trip to Amsterdam we decided to take a trip to the former house of Anne Frank which has now been turned into a museum. A Little Bit of History When I was at school I have a vague memory of briefly learning about Anne Frank. So vague is this memory that I have to admit I hardly knew a thing about her, other than she was Jewish and was in hiding during the war. Shameful as it sounds I didn't even know the location of her hiding place! No comment on the standard of our history lessons! Regardless of my lack of education regarding ... more

    4 Stars A House with History 27/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great musuem for all ages - much more than just a collection of objects

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not fully accessible to wheel chair users or people with limited mobilty

    With not much more than thirty hours to spend in Amsterdam (and still eat, drink and sleep!), I was forced to make some tough decisions about what could and couldn't be done. In the end I decided that I should visit the Anne Frank House, partly because it ws raining heavily and it was obvious that it was time to do some indoor activities and partly because I had visited Auschwitz earlier in the year and am very interested in this period of history. Background ------------------ Anne Frank was born in Germany in 1929. In 1933, Otto Frank and his wife, Edith, decided to leave Germany with Anne ... more

    4 Stars A war in the life of... Review with images 09/02/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages An interesting look back at history, something serious to think about in the midst of a vibrant city

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It didn't really bring the Anne Frank 'story' to life for me

    I have an appalling confession to make. I thought myself pretty aware of Anne Frank’s life, having skimmed her diary many years ago and watched umpteen documentaries and films based on her experience as a Jew in hiding during the Holocaust. However, I thought with all my heart that she spent the war years hiding from the Nazi's in Germany. So while wandering around Amsterdam I was slightly surprised to see a sign reading (in Dutch of course) ‘The House of Anne Frank.’ I followed the route really just expecting some small memorial to the Frank family outside the house, but as soon as I realised ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reminds us of how lucky we are

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If you do not go early you could be stuck in queues for a long time

    You may have read my recent opinion on the city of Amsterdam itself, well one of the attractions l had penciled in as my number one place to visit was house where Anne Frank lived or Anne Frankhuis. This is easily found either by canal boat or on foot at Prinsengrancht 263. Entrance was 12 Guilders - whis is about £4.50 - not too bad. The building dates back to 1635 and it shows the rooms where the yound Jewish girl along with family and friends hid during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam from 1942 until 1944. I would advise that you get here early. We arrived on a Wednesday morning about 9 ... more
