We visited Anna Frank House, after strolling around the streets of Amsterdam from the Central Station as far as the museum. It is quite an emotional experience to visit this museum and revisit the life of this young lady who was killed by the Nazis after hiding for nearly 3 years along with her family in the achterhuis, the hidden rooms of her father's office. All member of her family were also killed except her father who ended up alive at the end of the war. Her father, Otto Frank, went on to publish Anna's diaries, which turned out to be a best seller, The Diary of a Young Girl. He latter founded the Anna Frank House to raise awareness of the horrors of the Holocaust and the dangers of a continuous anti-Semitism.
