The secret entrance to the attic where Anne frank and her family hid during the German occupation .
The secret entrance to the attic where Jewish teenager Anne frank and her family hid during the German occupation of Amsterdam in WW2. Anne kept a diary recording her family’s experiences in hiding. They were eventually betrayed and imprisoned. Anne and her sister Margot died of typhoid fever in Bergen-Belsen in March 1945, only a few weeks before the concentration camp was liberated. Otto Frank, her father, the only member of the group to survive, published her diary after the war. It has been translated into 55 languages. Now the Anne Frank house is the most popular attraction for visitors to Amsterdam. It aims to educate people about tolerance and the horrors of racial prejudice and genocide.

I Amsterdam
My Home town , and yet I probably traveled here most of all , yes on my bike .
Mostly because of assignments of International publications who needed a special
Items or places , but more and more I started to see the Amsterdam what is so common for me
With different eyes , the history , architecture , the freedom of expression , details a photographer is focussed on ..The last 10 years my city chanced a lot specially in my hood the Jordaan some say the Soho of Amsterdam
Like the world discovered my back yard ..the alway’s village like feel started to chance
The language on the street became more English and groups of tourist started wandering the streets
I understand ..it’s a great city !
Even I know a lot special places yet there is still so much to discover .
