Anne Frank Huis *Amsterdam


I thought Amsterdam has nothing to offer besides sex and drugs. But the visit to this place really touches my heart.

They called this place Anne Frank House, a museum with a history.

Anne Frank is a victim of the German Occupation in Amsterdam.A group of 8 people including Anne Frank, who went into hiding in the Secret Annex were betrayed. She died just a few weeks before the liberation of the concentration and extermination camp.

She quoted this,"One day this terrible war will be over. The time will come when we will be people again and not just Jews."

There are millions of persons who lives were stolen or irrevocably scarred by racism. If only everyone will relate to people as individuals rather than as racial categories, the world will be brighter :)
