The Anne Frank Huis is a must see. I recommend the short lecture educational experience when you visit. You re taken through the timeline of events leading up to the Frank family being discovered and sent to the concentration camps. The educational lecture and tour is a small group with a lead. You enter at a separate entrance. Many diaries were written during this period of time. It s only because Otto Frank would later get Anne s diary returned to him and decide to have it published that we have record of events as it would unfold.

I was also amazed that the house was Otto s business, on a very busy street, right by one of the picturesque canals in Amsterdam, sitting also in the shadows of a church. So much life was passing by everyday, as the Frank family and many others remained in hiding.
