Hi there! :) you mean you were able to get your ticket inside anne franks house from the anne frank house (museum) itself right? I am going to amsterdam from August 2nd to 7th and all the ticket are sold out for the dates I am there. but the weird part is 6-7 days from now ( as I am typing this comment ) tickets are availble...so I am hoping it'll be the same case in August. This is going to be my 2nd time coming to amsterdam as well...so I hope I'll be able to Enter Anne franks house ( Museum ) this time as I wasn't able to do so the firt time. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
I was able to get my Anne Frank House tickets inside the house about 20 years ago, but today, you must get them online only. They are no longer sold at the 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.
Otto Frank requested that they don't put furniture in it after he died because I believe he didn't want the floors to get ruined, and when they were caught, the gestapo (Nazis) took everything. The only thing left behind was Anne's diary, which was scattered all over the place. The nazis stole all of their furniture. Otto felt that leaving it empty would also signify how awful they were treated.
I just followed a German group from the street I had no idea where they were going. It was 1984, it felt so claustrophobic that I left and ran into her statue. I felt a horrible energy there, and felt sad I hadn’t worked out where I was. It’s all very different now 30 years on, with queues and ticket sellers.

When I visited in June 1976 it was so easy. And I saw the wall map that the family had marked the advance of Allied units. My eyes teared when I saw they had marked the advance of the Canadian 4th armored. My father was a padre in that division.
I wish they hadn't modernized the Annex to this point. They could've preserved what it originally looked like instead of all this paint and what not. Shellac and resin is wonderful for preserving such memories. This is history and it doesn't look like it anymore.
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 would prefer to see how their place looked ORIGINALLY. Since it is so much more “involved” to get to take a tour I would appreciate purchasing a video of this tour.
Thanks for sharing this tour. It's unimaginable what Anne and her family went through, along with everyone from the Holocaust. It looks like they over modernized the house. I have never been there but have seen the pictures of how it looked before. I think renovating it too much takes some of the authenticity away a little bit. A place like that should never be renovated.
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.
The issue with leaving them without plexiglass, is loads of people will try to touch the pictures, which over time would completely ruin them. So they have to have the plexiglass over the pictures to preserve them.
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"
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
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.
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 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
@@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.
@@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
@@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.
And here we are trying to repeat the cycle today. Why cant some people grasp history lessons? I myself am atheist and even I cant excuse this behavior.
I am Dutch. Never been inside. I know the old pictures ( for instance her dad in the attic where they stored food and laundry). Its looks all terribly modern and renovated to me. It seems I am too late to see it as it was.
I am a huge fan of Anne Frank and her relatives because I love them like a family 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m gonna be extremely honest with my stupidity right now I know who Anne Frank is, but I read Lisa Frank. I was waiting for all the colors when the door open and when I seen Anne Frank’s face.😮
Taking a trip to Europe in 6/25. It ends in Paris. Want to then travel to see Anne Frank House and one concentration camp. Which of the camps is the most logical...one of the more well known ones? Should we fly or take train from Paris to Amsterdam.
In this day and age we are still talking about Anne Frank whereas same atrocities are taking place in current times in Gaza and Jews are responsible. Nobody talks about them!
I am from India and i read many books yet but dairy of aenn frenk was best ever book i read. it's finominal book and while reading we can feel the actual condition of anexs and emegin visuals of that time as aenns described.
I do understand why there is an entrance fee. It is a museum and like any other museum, they have to pay for advertising, employees, building maintenance, things like that.
I wonder why anyone would ask such an irrelevant asinine question. Israel didn’t even exist as a Jewish nation at the time. Anything else is opinion pushing and ignorance.
You mean how there is a jewish state that has had to defend itself against several countries that want nothing more than to completely eradicate every jew on earth? Just like the nazis did? I'm sure he would be sad but unsurprised to learn that so many people in the modern day still support nazi ideologies.
It's very relevant! Or maybe because it involves Jews as the perpetrators is deemed asinine & irrelevant!?! Otto boasted of peace and equal treatment, respect, it's the best question /comment I have seen anyone bother to write up here. Opinion pushing!? She didn't push any opinion but wondered what his view or feeling would be, and that's the exact opposite of ignorance!!! You're nasty demeaning and deranged comment is what's ignorant and clearly hateful and we know if the Jews were the victims your comment would have been entirely different!!! The very racism and prejudice Otto Frank urged Anne and others against. You are very far behind in life.
Don’t be vile. The conflict in Gaza has been going on for centuries. They shouldn’t have voted for a terrorist group the idiots. They’re not the brightest of people unlike the jews who are very successful.
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! 🙏🏻
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.

@@CJ-ft9yoall in your head … re:”horrible energy”
I toured the Anne Frank house many years ago. At that time we simply walked up to go in, no crowds, no problems.
Shelley Winters won an Oscar for the movie & donated it to the Anne Frank House… you can see it there if you visit.
When I visited in June 1976 it was so easy. And I saw the wall map that the family had marked the advance of Allied units. My eyes teared when I saw they had marked the advance of the Canadian 4th armored. My father was a padre in that division.
Bless Anne’s sweet heart and all the victims of the Holocaust ❤❤❤❤
They weren’t the real Jews…
I went to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam and it was surreal.
I saw her ghost 😶
its just a house
@@arnemedia4312it's not just a house it's a part of history that a person who was took from her home by NAZI'S and killed
@@arnemedia4312 It’s not just a house. You would think that till you read Anne Franks book.

Managed to bag a signed copy of her diary

I wonder how they could keep it preserved and gong if it was free. Hopefully one day
I think a small fee is ok, they have to look after the building and maintain it.
It’s not entertainment for anyone it’s history!!!! And also they need to make money they’re probably do that for a living
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
These things cost money to run and to preserve.
When I was there you just had to stand in line, but it was long. Worth the wait very moving
Hey, what is the music at the beginning? So beautiful. I was at the house, too. It was so interesting and also hard to process. May they rest in peace
Hello. The music is called Zhok West-Dramatic Klezmer Music. I purchased it on a royalty-free website called Pond5.
@@AndysAwesomeAdventures I play the Violine and I love to play that kind of music. I will look it up. Thank you!
I thought this was ottos franks business? Not their house? They lived in an apartment. And hid in the annex above his business?
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.
If he would have left with his family, Anne would have never written the diary about her bizarre experiences of world war 2
And we wouldnt be seeing this video right now

Otto Drank did try to go to the USA.

The dad lived to 91
I went to see the house I was very disappointed, it wasn't worth going.

Go educate yourself. Anne Frank lived in a cramped, tiny attic for two years, and died at age 15 in a war camp. Do not compare them.

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! 🙏🏻
