INSIDE ANNE FRANK HOUSE: Tour, History, How To Get Tickets! (4K)

The Anne Frank House (Museum) in Amsterdam is one of the most famous houses in the world and the Anne Frank Diary is one of the most famous diaries in the world. After the Nazis occupied The Netherlands during WWII, Anne Frank's father, Otto Frank, decided to hide the family and a few select friends in a Secret Annex above where he worked in 1942. He was afraid that the Nazis would send his family to concentration camps, where they would be killed, simply because they were Jewish. They were able to hide for two years before being discovered by the police. They were all sent to Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, where Anne, her sister Margot, and mother Edith died. Only Otto survived. When Otto returned to Amsterdam, he discovered Anne's diary, which she started writing when she was 13 years-old. It became so popular, it was translated into 70 languages and a movie was made about it. People around the world related to the writings of a young Jewish girl who talked about what it was like to grow up as a teenager in difficult times. She appreciated the small things in life, but she also grew up living in fear during the Holocaust. Her diary contains life lessons for everyone.
Getting tickets to the Anne Frank House isn't easy. They are released six weeks in advance every Tuesday at 10am Amsterdam time, and I explain at the beginning of the video the best way to get tickets, which are only sold online by the Anne Frank House Museum.

I was there last year and it was well done. As we walked through the rooms, I kept hearing the floors creaking under us. I kept thinking that one little sound probably sounded terrifying to them. One person in our group couldn’t manage the stairs. They were pretty steep. She did a virtual tour and saw the furniture in place, she said it was eerie. Thank you for the video.

I first toured the house in the late 1980’s it was much more authentic the building next to it was not part of the tour. You just got tickets at the door and you climbed up the steep stairs into the attic.

I visited Anne Franks house once when I was in Amsterdam before the pandemic in Christmas 2018. I wasn’t able to go inside because a lot of rooms and places were closed for renovations and repair. Only a limited amount of people could go in and it was sold out so soon. I saw the outside of the house. But maybe it’s just as well. I never came to truly understand or even like Anne’s story until the pandemic started. Maybe one day I’ll go back to Amsterdam and to Anne’s house and if I do I’ll go in knowing and cherishing her story by heart giving the best respects I can possibly give

[@Cheese-Hound]

Assuming you're an adult, how did you make it to adulthood without knowing the history of Anne Frank?

[@carolinebergin4633]

@@Cheese-Hound I’m still a very young adult in my 20s, and I’ve been forced to deal with and without a lot of things in life growing up. But I’ve been making strives of my own and learning about Anne Franks story during the pandemic is one of them

[@Cheese-Hound]

@@carolinebergin4633 I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just curious. I'm in my 40's and learned about it long before I graduated. Probably before high school. We took a trip to the Holocaust museum when learning about that period in history. Keep seeking knowledge and learning. It's a never ending journey, I can tell you. I don't know everything and never will. One person we didn't learn about in school was Josef Mengele, from that same chunk of history. It wasn't until I heard a song from Slayer called Angel of Death that I had to seek out information about him. It's not a pretty topic but knowing history (and not trying to erase it and topple statues) is a way to prevent repeating it. I probably had more interest than most in that period of time because my grandfather immigrated here from Germany as a young boy with his parents. It's a stain on human history but worth learning about.

[@carolinebergin4633]

@@Cheese-Hound I never assumed you were being rude. Your curiosity is valid. I ask myself that question a lot myself. The way you just explained your search for knowledge and learning is so beautiful it reminds me so much of what my Dad would say. He loved learning and seeking history so much mostly revolving around wars. Alongside his job he gave lectures at a few universities once in a while. He spent a lot of time trying to teach me these stories, even telling me that we need to remember history to prevent it from repeating itself. He died a year before I went to the annex, but I keep what he said to heart. There’s a lot of world war 2 history in my family. My Dad was the first born son of a Captain in the Navy during that war and my Mom was born in Germany and her own father saw Hitler himself. I keep looking for more knowledge myself. There’s always gonna be something new to learn

[@Cheese-Hound]

@@carolinebergin4633 Life should be a quest for knowledge. If I don't learn at least one thing in a day, I consider it a wasted day. I've been playing guitar for longer than you've been alive and certainly don't know all there is about guitar. I'm a master motorcycle technician with 28 years of experience. I heard someone say I "know everything about motorcycles" in front of a customer. I corrected him by saying that nobody does and anyone who says they do is lying. It's a never ending quest.

I visited last Spring. It’s worth the effort to get tickets.

Why are they so dang strict on the tickets? It’s giving money grab more so then revisiting and learning about a historic site ns. Thank you for the tips and upload! 🙏🏻

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

You're welcome! I think they're that strict because the house is relatively small, so they can only accommodate a certain amount of people per day.

[@esciteach7997]

b/c it is a VERY SMALL AREA that is why . . . .needs to be very limited with visitors and if they didn't it would be a "mob scene" of wall-to-wall bodies b/c anyone can go in. high prices ensure that only those SERIOUS visitors who understand what happened to this family attend.

[@racheltrue8]

I went over the summer

[@johnandersen8998]

It looks very clean and modern now. I went through earlier when the walls had cutout pictures of movie stars and people a teenager would find interesting. More original and authentic. If I ever find my videos I may be able to upload them someday. Also Corrie ten Boom’s home from where they hid Jews during the same time.

ZO GOOD

[@kevinmarch4259]

😢💔

[@lilsheba1]

I think it's very cool this place is preserved but I think it's a little bit tacky to cash in on it with selling tickets. I don't think Anne Frank considered her time there "entertainment"

[@MrJijack]

I wonder how they could keep it preserved and gong if it was free. Hopefully one day

[@cjc201]

I think a small fee is ok, they have to look after the building and maintain it.

[@cqral4229]

It’s not entertainment for anyone it’s history!!!! And also they need to make money they’re probably do that for a living

[@xoluciaxo_3721]

How is this entertainment?!! It’s a historical and educational place?? Many people want to visit the place for memorial and religious reasons. They use the money to be able to preserve everything, make educational programs and for research. A museum is always a non-profit organisation

[@outoftheforest7652]

These things cost money to run and to preserve.

[@analissiamontalvo6955]

[@maluzuk2024]

The father's stubbornness made the family go through all this, having fought in the previous war, he would have the right to leave for another country with his family without anything happening to them. But he preferred to stay and hide so as not to leave the country and his assets. The irony is that he was the only one of them who survived.

[@gigasheeep]

If he would have left with his family, Anne would have never written the diary about her bizarre experiences of world war 2
