I like it very much, the statue, of Anne Frank. -Always reminds it, and wat she intend to do, if she lives, after the war. She would like to be an journalist. See more, in Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam:-) In 2010 we visit Anne Frank House, mye husband an I.
It is quite hard not to give a 5 star to a monument made for Anne Frank. But it deserved it, not only to the memory of Anne Frank, but also due to the beauty and the simplicity of this statue. I hope cities put more monuments like this, to innocent people and not politicians
Today I visited Anne Frank's neighborhood. I didn't go into her house. I was eager to meet her "outside" -free- and not locked up in the family's hideout.... It was as if she was waiting for me to go out there, to play in the yard... I felt enormous emotion for the girl with the innocent soul, the enormous sensitivity, the rare maturity. It's a shame that we lost her writing talent. However, her message is timeless and alive. We are all human beings, we all have the right to a free life.
Just exterior view was nice. Didn't into the museum. Be sure to visit the souvenir store next to it. Turns out it was the cheapest there compares to stuff in dam square.
The Anne Frank Monument, situated next to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, is a poignant and timeless tribute to the enduring legacy of Anne Frank and the millions who suffered during the Holocaust. This iconic monument serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance and the ongoing fight for tolerance and human rights. The Anne Frank Monument stands as a solemn sculpture, created by Dutch artist Piet Griepink, and represents a bookcase with Anne Frank's profile carved into the front. The monument symbolizes the hidden and silenced voices of those who were forced into hiding during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. It serves as a testament to the resilience and courage displayed by Anne Frank and countless others who sought refuge during one of humanity's darkest periods. The simplicity of the monument's design adds to its emotional impact. The starkness and solidity of the sculpture evoke a sense of somber reflection, inviting visitors to pause and contemplate the profound significance of Anne Frank's story and the tragic events of the Holocaust. Adjacent to the Anne Frank House, the monument holds a significant place in Amsterdam's historical landscape. Its proximity to the house and museum further deepens the experience for visitors, creating a powerful connection between the tangible history within the museum and the symbolic representation outside.
