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 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.

Otto was a hero during Anne's life and after. Carrying out his daughter's dream of becoming a writer is one of the most loving acts I can think of.

I went there and was in tears. I never expected to become so openly upset. It is a very emotional place x

[Mandcfrey]

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.

Her diary has brought out the empathy in most everyone that has read it. Thanks for sharing this look at the annex

My son went here yesterday. He said the tour taught him more than he knew. She was an amazing person

I went to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam and it was surreal.

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 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.

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.

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.

Bless Anne’s sweet heart and all the victims of the Holocaust ❤❤❤❤

I was in Amsterdam many years ago, and the annex was getting refurbished ... They were painting the interior it a bright white. I was shocked and upset, as I believed it destroyed the reality and truth of how she lived.

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.

I visited Anne Frank House in the early 80s; then you could go into the attic. It was less than 40 years since the war ended; 23-24 years since the house opened to the public. It was such an experience.
I visited again 2 days ago Friday 28th February. The bookcase was now partially encased in glass - and as a now 50 year old; the steps so much steeper than I recalled as a child. I stood watching the footage of Otto Frank talking - seeing the haunted look in his eyes. He made his daughter's wish to be a world-famous writer true; sadly, not in the way Anne hoped.
Such admiration for Miep, Jan, Bep, Victor, and Johannes. A visit reminds us of humanity at its most fragile and at its bravest. God bless all who hid here and helped them.

They should of kept the attic all original now it just looks like another tourist attraction what a shame rip Anne Frank and her family 🙏

I wish they hadn't renovated or modernized the rooms, especially 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
