Anne Frank Museum: Why I Choose Her Diary Over the House”
I will express my own opinion about the Anne Frank Museum and leave the rest to you. Only you can decide where more of her “blueprint” remains: in the house, or in the diary written by her beautiful, pure self.
Anne Frank was an incredible soul in human form during a time of war. She was a loving, kind and ambitious young woman, well ahead of her time. She was, and still is to this day, an inspiration to people who are willing to perceive the world and people in the same way.
I have seen her hiding place, and I can assure those who, like me, are inspired by her story, that this place will only disappoint you. There is almost nothing to look at apart from bare walls and a couple of small photographs. The kitchen, where all of them gathered together in anticipation of the end of the war, listening to the radio and having the conversations that kept them going, is gone and even repainted.
You might as well look it up online and see more there than in the actual place. I am not talking about money; in the end, that is your choice. I am talking about the memories they had in those times: the furniture, Anne’s desk where she wrote her diary, the attic where she spent so much time dreaming about freedom. These were precious and necessary to them. Why they were removed, I cannot understand, and I suppose only her father knew that.
So think twice about where you invest your precious time and money: the almost empty apartment, or her diary. I choose her diary, her beautiful expression within it, her soul. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
