Anne Frank House

Desi arrived today. We picked her up at the airport and then drove to Amsterdam. We visited the Rijksmuseum, van Gogh museum and the Anne Frank home. Desi has many more pictures on her blog http://deseverton.blogspot.com/.



This is the Anne Frank Home.



These are homes down the street from the Anne Frank home. We especially liked the skinny red home.

This is a picture I took in late 1972. The Anne Frank home is just right of the red Bug, has red doors and has a sliver car in front. The home to the right has been converted into a modern visitor center. The portion where the Franks hid is unchanged at the request of Anne's father who was the only one that survived. The skinny red building is to the right of the building that became the visitor center.



These are home across the street from the Anne Frank Home. If you look closely you will notice the homes are at an angle to the street. The central part of Amsterdam is surrounded by canals. There are floating homes on the canals now.  Amsterdam was not bombed so these buildings are all pre-WWII.
