The Anne Frank House Museum, Amsterdam |
“I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Anne Frank wrote that in her diary more than 65 years ago. Unfortunately, despite her talent and courage, the little girl was wrong. Not only because the Germans killed her and millions of others, but because we still must face the insane hatred of nutcase dictators, suicide bombers and other fantatic murderers today.
If you’ll be in Amsterdam, be sure to add to your visit schedule some time at the Anne Frank House Museum, located in a large row structure on the city’s main canal. The Frank family apartment, the tiny Secret Annex spaces behind the bookcase, is preserved as it was when they hid there during the Nazi occupation in World War II. |
