have you ever been to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam and how did you feel when you left?

Question

have been once

Answer 1

very moving experience
i have been to the anne frank musuem and found it to be a spiritually moving experience. you could feel it all around you and it does make you think about all the events and how they happened. and it makes you think that it could happen again and to try and not let anything like that happen again. i will go back every time i go to amsterdam. i am glad that they are preserving it as they are so people will see exactly how all of the events transpired.

Answer 2

I first found about about Anne Frank when I was twelve years old. I read her diary and lots of other things about her, and have always been fascinated by her story.
As an adult I taught my students about Anne Frank, and was amazed how receptive they were to her story, just as I had been.
I went to Amsterdam for the first time a year ago, and so visiting the house was a must- I took my two grown up children with me.
At first, I felt a little disappointed because things had to be changed to accommodate the visitors, but when I saw the 'bookcase' and the stairs it all seemed very familiar to me.
I just felt very moved that I had at last come to see where Anne had lived.
Going up the second flight of stairs that are very steep I began to feel very dizzy and faint, and experienced a physical sensation that was overpowering. I am not a sentimental person, but was shaking and distressed when I got to the top of those stairs.
My children do not have the emotional connection that I have to Anne Frank, but they did admire the new exhibition space down stairs and the things the Anne Frank foundation do for the furtherance of tolerance of difference in the world.
I think it is a remarkable and heart warming story that speaks something to all of us and for all time.

Answer 3

In Amsterdam is a wide spectral range of attractions for recreational and national sightseeing. They range between interesting previous houses, just like the Oude Kerk, to oddities including the Hash

Answer 4

The diaries moved me - but i'm afraid the house itself looks too cleaned and modern and empty to even try to picture the situation. I didn't feel anything, except for wondering whether this was now a tourist trap or trying to make money from something that is worth not to have to go through that.

Answer 5

I had to go with school, back then, and did not like it at all.
The rooms themselves where giving me a good impression about the size of their living-space and maybe some of the difficulties of living in war-time.

But I hated the rest of the museum, and because it was part of the material we had to study for exams I was not even allowed to miss the experience.

I have never read the diary, and am likely to ever read it. (But as a Dutch person whose parents and grant parents lived through the war I know a lot of that part of our history, and that d***** exam did force more information on me than I was able to handle at that time.)

If someone wants to go to the museum/house it is a good place to show what happened, but if the visitor is not really wishing to go I would advice against going.
There are many better places to visit in Amsterdam!

Answer 6

to satisfy ur curiosity, it is ok but i think that they exaggerate the situation.
