Inside Anne Frank's Real Home 

i know right its so sad

they even forgot about THE CAT

@@ohemgee7993 I'm sure they did because they were worring about DYING

@@j.bbunny7530 FACTS BUT STILL

@@ohemgee7993 the cat probably escaped by itself

Actually, in her diary she talks about how Margot asked if she could read her diary, and that Anne could read hers. Anne said only some things but not all of it. So it sounds like she actually did, but who knows.

@Catherine H. she has they talked about their diarys and asked each other if they can read each other diary. Sry for en

Catherine H. Margot has a diary but it was not found after war

@Kenneth Sloan Sorry, Kenneth, you're wrong. Check out the Institute for Historical Review article by Robert Faurisson. *_"One reason for skepticism about the famous diary attributed to Anne Frank is the existence of strikingly different samples of handwriting supposedly written by her within a two and a half year period. My first work about the Anne Frank diary was published in French in 1980. A translation of it appeared in the Summer 1982 issue of The Journal of Historical Review under the title "Is the Diary of Anne Frank Genuine?" (pp. 147-209). A facsimile reprint of this article was published as a booklet by the Institute for Historical Review in 1985. Two samples of handwriting attributed to Anne Frank appeared on the front cover and on page 209. Each was written when she was about 13 years old, but strangely enough, the earlier one (dated 12 June 1942) looks much more mature and "adult-like" than the sample which was supposedly written four months later (dated 10 October 1942). In response to growing skepticism about the authenticity of the famous diary, the State Institute for War Documentation in Amsterdam (Rijksinstituut voor Orloogsdocumentatie or RIOD) published a book in 1986 which includes a facsimile of a letter supposedly written by Anne dated 30 July 1941. The discovery in the USA of some more samples of Anne's handwriting was announced in July 1988. This includes two letters dated 27 and 29 April 1940 and a postcard that was sent with one of the letters, all written to an ll-year-old penpal in Danville, Iowa. These letters create a new problem for the State Institute for War Documentation because the handwriting on them is quite different than the "adult" handwriting of her letter of 30 July 1941 as well as most of the purported diary manuscript. These discoveries strengthen my belief that the "adult handwriting attributed to Anne is, in reality, very likely the handwriting of one of the persons who officially "helped" Otto Frank prepare the diary for publication just after the war."_* If you read the article, you will actually see that the dominant handwriting in Anne's diary was *_not_* Anne's.

Meip has a biography. It shows another view point of what happened Very interesting.

the annex is already one but they shouldn’t smoke there

If i own or rent a house i am free to do what the hell i want. Smoke on bro

John Hulse Not in that annex that is disrespectful to the Frank Family, but yeah in YOUR HOUSE you can.

Mr. Frank smoked a pipe , Mr. Van Daan (sp?) smoked cigarettes in the annex. But whatever.

It’s a residential area so it would probably disturb the locals a lot. Luckily, the apartment is open to the public once a year, on May 4.

It's kind of beautiful to me that it's used for writers in need of a safe place to stay. That's honouring the history of the house and Anne. The annex is a museum already. Do we really need two? Think about what's more important.

Sadly the idea of using it as museum isn't really sustainable. It's a residential area, there are people living all around it, it would be hugely inconvenient to have the flat constantly surrounded by so many people. In any case there isn't really anything left of Anne there. All her history, including childhood, is displayed at the Prinsengracht museum.

It’s still a residential area like back then. The Anne Frank House is downtown amongst office buildings, fair enough, but opening their home to the public would disturb the residents in the area. They do allow the public to visit the apartment on special occasions, though. I visited on May 4 this year on the day of the ‘Remembrance of the dead’ in the Netherlands.

Ren Leanne What history?

Catherine H. 🤣 and you are a clueless twit.

*like*

Titanic - But the house is quite small

Sadly a museum isn't really an option. It sits in a very normal residential neighbourhood, and it would be a huge daily disruption for the people living in the area to be constantly surrounded by hundreds of people lining up outside as 263 Prinsengracht is.

No

Yes just like now in this pandemic we have to remember what is was like for everyone and ourselves so that nothing like this happens again. To create a brighter and beautiful future. It look me so long to realize that

This pandemic is peanuts compared to the Holocaust. Not even close to being similar.

@@joannaflowers5563 it’s like my dad always said to me every event in history is different and has different stories to tell these things are terrible but it’s comforting to know how people overcame their hard times in their own way

Anne Frank's diary is very revealing, of course, of her situation. Most of the children who died were not able to go into hiding. Many of them, as adults, have spoken about their experiences, and their testimony is online. Also, the documentation and historical evidence is massive. People must know the full truth, not just from Anne Frank's diary.

@@carolinebergin4633 the pandemic doesn’t come close to hidding like anne frank did, in the pandemic at least people could go out to buy groceries and we had lot’s of entertainment from streaming services, music, etc. Anne and her family had to keep as quiet as possible (keep in mind they were above where there was workers and wooden creaky floors), couldn’t flush the toilet for hours and was shared with 8 people, had to ration food and sometimes eat nasty preserved food for days or weeks at a time, couldn’t see a doctor if they got sick all that and more for 2 and a half years.

Blame the communists.

I agree with ya both because these men who most of the Jews in the constrayion camps should be ashamed of themselves I wonder what uhey would do if they had to it they had to in a conctradyipn camp ????i suppose beg for mercy well to me they don’t deserve it act all brcaausr they were were Ali Lao English radio

Patricia Larsen Me too sister, it was only 1 or 2 or even days after she died that the camp she was in was over.

Meg Griffin that's so sad, if only she'd been able to hang on longer😔💔

Lucy Walsh I know its heartbreaking but whats even more heartbreaking is that otto frank (her father) lost his whole family and had nothing but pictures and a diary left of them...

Meg Griffin Shut up meg.. JK! But seriously though, did that really happen?

Wake, I believe it was a month after her death

@rach d I could be wrong but it feels like after reading your words that you may be related to the Franks am I wrong just curious not being a smart butt or anything like that

I don't need to imagine it; I'm somewhat undergoing it myself.

@@ladansamooty581 Same here. Most of my family have died except 2 out of state who are busy w/their own lives. I had a career 25 years but was diagnosed & knocked flat on my butt physically...literally...when I found out I've developed a rare autoimmune disease where my body no longer makes its own immune system anymore. Because of risk of infections, I'm literally quarantined like a prisoner living alone in a townhouse. I'm under Palliative care/Hospice at home but insurance doesn't cover them coming but twice a month. The next step will be to admit me in-patient to Hospice. What I have has no cure. Anyway, I LOVE history & have always admired Anne Frank so much. The Diary of Anne Frank has always been one of my all-time favorite books. It's EXTREMELY difficult for an extroverted person to be cooped up within walls 24/7. I was always veeery extroverted so I would know. 😒 I have to live with alot of fears but at least I don't have to fear Nazis seizing me, my whole family & being executed. Anne had SO much potential but she packed a punch of many lifetimes during her short time on Earth. May she & all the other victims of WWII rest in peace. 🙏 ✝ ❤

Hey me too. Just finished it.

Heather Gall have you not learned this before?

Im not being rude but what would it benifit us? Its someone we dont know and she wouldnt be famous and well know if she didnt die. Rip anne and the franks

The monsters were the British and Poles who started this bloody war.

Laurie Huntley do you not understand what that house’s worth? For gods sake it was Anne Frank’s! It’s a part in HISTORY

{Honey} well one of the guys that lived with Anne frank smoked tobacco all the time in that house

Chickennrice does it matter he probably wouldn’t know how much that house costs now and would probably never go there again! He survived the holocaust of course....but idk if he was still alive when the war ended,

@@chickennrice2473 Yeah before they all died and everything...

@@chickennrice2473 that was before the house got an historical value. The future guests of that house have the moral duty of looking after the property.

Anne s father literally smoked in there 😐 the annex is a museum already get over yourself.

Mouse Kander: Amen 🙌❣

@@sparx180 You are nasty and obviously have no life.

@@sparx180 booh! Booh!!!

Yea reading the end is hard. Knowing its the end.

How is he a nazi?

The annex is a museum already. I think that's enough. This house serves a good purpose in a different way: offering writers who need a place to stay *today* .

I agree with Tyler. Yeah but there should be rules, I wouldn't allow smoking.

It’s still a residential area like back then. The Anne Frank House is downtown amongst office buildings, fair enough, but opening their home to the public would disturb the residents in the area. They do allow the public to visit the apartment on special occasions, though. I visited on May 4 this year on the day of the ‘Remembrance of the dead’ in the Netherlands.

Tyler Fox - it could possibly be that the US has drastically different anti-smoking policies than practically any where else in Europe. I always have to take extra emergency inhalers and asthma meds with me (allergic to smoke) because everyone smokes! So maybe they just didn’t think it was a big deal. I don’t know, it was just a thought.

You can find here in RU-vid the tour of the house already restored.

I know. I was expecting for them to show the house after it was restored, but all they did was tell us it was, without showing it on the camera.

Wtf it the frank history not yours or mine

She just means that Anne is part of the Dutch history.

Looks like the guy has never heard of Anne Frank either. You can see it in his eyes; he’s just there to freeload, and indulge in his own pleasures. 😠

@@morningst4r713 how dare a brown person have pleasure?!

@@ladystonefox don't judge a person by skin color! Honestly...

@Unoraza2 Anne wrote on her diary with a fountain pen, a pen that uses wet ink, invented in 1827. As Otto later edited the diary and put together all of Anne's papers, he used a ballpoint pen to write notes here and there (not on the diary, on separate scraps of paper). By the way, the ballpoint pen was first sold in 1938, so Anne's family could have owned one. But anyway, fountain pens were very common back then, so I don't understand why you say pens didn't exist.

Is good book anna number one

That's what happened, idiot.

@@jensmom604 You could have left off idiot, you idiot

Miep was not arrested because - luckily - she was Austrian like the arresting officer in charge and he did not arrest his fellow countryman. Bep managed to leave the building during the arrest just in time. Kleiman and Kugler were arrested and sent to prison and several Dutch camps but survived.

rach d I’ve already read it. Kleiman urged Bep to leave the building and go to the pharmacy on the corner. Miep warned Jan when he arrived and he left.

rach d Johannes Kleiman succeeded in sending Bep away. He wanted her to take his wallet to a pharmacist, who would then inform Kleiman's wife that things had gone wrong on the Prinsengracht. Bep was able to leave the building unhindered, as no one stood guard outside. She delivered the wallet and started wandering the streets, not knowing what to do. Only by the end of the afternoon did Bep return to the Prinsengracht. Jan Gies came by to have lunch with the people in hiding, as he often did. Miep warned him about the presence of the police officers and Jan immediately left and went back to his place of work. He decided to go to the brother of helper Johannes, who worked on the Bloemgracht, near the hiding place. Together, they walked to the bridge on the other side of the canal, from where they saw the people from the Secret Annex and their helpers getting into the police van.

wow thats huge! what is your profession?

I would say the diary makes it possible to imagine what it was like-that is why it is so valuable and such a strong document. If you hanven't read it-do it. If you already have-do it again as in that case you have missed a lot of it. It is all in there.

Diane Fulham why are renting it to anyone first place!

Thank you for sharing your story. I, too, am a Chicagoan of Puerto Rican parents. We lived on Crystal Street (Crystal and Holman.) I am almost 60 years old.

I got to be an Expat in Belgium for several years and we got to travel a lot (esp. on weekends.) So we went to Amsterdam a lot on Saturdays (to see everything including the Anne Frank Huis). We also got to see the Corrie Ten Boom house in Haarlem, Netherlands ("The Hiding Place" was a 1970's movie based on their Christian story saving Jews) My kids got to hop into the "hiding place" and ring the secret bell.

@@cavlizzy Reading this in bed in Belgium and enjoying all your remarkable stories.

@@AfricancoolChic Thank you! You are so lucky! It was the best time of my life!! We lived in Overijse to be near the Int'l School of Brussels for our kids. Belgium is fabulous and I miss it everyday.Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent, etc.. SO much history, art, and things to do. It was the experience of a lifetime. I would love to retire there!! (if possible?) and this is coming from a life long "Texan" 😊 Except for the "registration Commune office" everyone there is just as friendly as the people in Texas (Lol) But that is my fault for not being able to speak Dutch.

@@cavlizzy Oh the commune hasn't changed, still a real menace to all expats. 😣 Belgium really is the most quirky and offbeat place I've ever lived.. I too don't speak the language, so bad of me. Luckily my kids do. I'm a born and bred Brit (Londoner), and I'm so happy to be living in Belgium. Do come back to Belgium if you get a chance. Still as quaint and artsy as ever. 👍😄

Smoking is dumb and anti social. We pay their medical bills too.

Indeed. I was SHOCKED when I saw that. It was mentioned that the foundation bought the whole building. It would have been much, much wiser to have set up a next-door apartment for the writers.

I think you are right. Her story is so powerful. Hopefully the power of her story will help keep this from ever happening again. Although something similar seems to be happening in China 😖

Oh my gosh. Who cares this house? Can you imagine if all the houses in Amsterdam from jews people transform in museums?

It’s still a residential area like back then. The Anne Frank House is downtown amongst office buildings, fair enough, but opening their home to the public would disturb the residents in the area. They do allow the public to visit the apartment on special occasions, though. I visited on May 4 this year on the day of the ‘Remembrance of the dead’ in the Netherlands. By the way, this area, in Amsterdam’s ‘River Quarter’, had a sizable Jewish population in the 1930’s and 40’s. Alone on the same square where the Franks lived there were several Jewish families. The Van Pels family from Anne’s diary also lived just around the corner.

Why? Do you realise her story was fabricated? Her diary was released publicly with one major problem. It was written in ball point pen 20 years before it was invented. 😳 Sneaky Rabbi

Rusty Shackleford it’s possible that it may be fabricated

Are serious ,the world is full of monsters. But more good people, fighting the good fight .

If there was no war ever then what would we have to fight for, how would we know what true courage and hope means, and what stories would be told? Even the worst things have a silver lining in them.

NIRMALA N this Comment made me smile

The thought of that always give me hope. She's fine now, at peace.

Where were his arms precisely when she was rolling in her own filth ??????

I agree. She seemed to be so full of life !!

Thank you for your post!

IKR? It’ll stink of smoke, make the walls yellow and burn cigarette holes in furniture. He could have a little respect and at least smoke outside.

Yeah its disgraceful

@jennie in Michigan People thought that way about the Jews as well. The Nazi's called them 'sub-human' as opposed to your 'inbred garbage'. I wonder how Anne would feel about your comment.

He's only there for the money. hoping his books will sell because of that house.

In a lot of ways her dreams came true. She said “ I want to go on living even after my death “ -

What's scary is the wrong side won.

Their religion and their ethnicity.

Plus they weren't even religious Jews, they were very liberal.

Chinese labour migration to the Netherlands already began in 1911. That same year the Zeedijk in central Amsterdam became the Chinatown of Amsterdam which it still is, so Chinese people have lived here long before the war.

She certainly was a resource. And her tragic end coupled with her diary makes her into maybe the single most potent holocaust memorial in existence.

@Shannon E thank you for your post :)

Yes that was so heartbreaking

Like Agnes Bojaxhiu and Donald Trump.

I agree with you that was probably the most ignorant thing he could have said, but he was a teen at the time it do not excuse what he said but he was younger. I’m pretty sure he kicks himself now for saying something so stupid back then. He was probably trying to find humor to lighten the mood but came out as disrespectful. Once again it do not excuse his behavior, but I have to believe he did not mean that in a uncaring way.

@@xxSSxx. what did he say?

xyz Justin Bieber said if Anne Frank was alive she’d probably be a “Belieber“, like a fan of his. That statement wasn’t the worst but it was kind of inappropriate at that time.

No the e in Anne pronounced uh the a in frank is pronounced as lava .

@@lieke3043 Close enough weirdo.

did you watch it? the ones they interviewed at least knew. Otto Frank came to see them

I guess I missed that part

In the beginning probably not, but later and nowadays yes. There’s now a statue of Anne Frank on that square. There are also stumbling stones in front of the apartment entrance with Otto, Edith, Margot and Anne’s name on them.

Behold, history repeats itself.

@@mistressmozart They didn't realize the Franks had lived there until Otto Frank came there
