The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam

Sábado, mayo 7th, 2011

The Dutch capital, Amsterdam is home to the Anne Frank House Museum. This corner of Amsterdam is full of a story told in the diary of a small Jewish family that moved to Amsterdam where I record the day to day during those years in that house and its surroundings.
