Ann Frank Museum

We went to the Ann Frank Museum the day before. 

"It is one of the 20th century's most compelling stories: a young Jewish girl forced into hiding with her family and their friends to escape deportation by the Nazis." Viator.com

I read a bit about Ann Frank when I was a lot younger. I never finished it though as I found it very hard to read as an 11 year old boy at the time hooked on Play Station 2. Reading about a girl from the 40s didn't grab me as much as it does now. 

My girlfriend was very interested and had apparently wanted to go for a long time, having read the diary, and finished, and found it interesting! I quickly felt the same way.

The museum had remade the house to as close as possible to what the conditions would have been like for when Ann Frank and her family were living their. I thought the museum was greatly moving and respectful the Ann Frank and her family and a brilliant way to tell her story.
