I sometimes host tourists at my house and I noticed that people coming from schools or countries where not much attention is paid to (foreign) history generally weren't impressed by the museum simply because they missed all the background knowledge of all the horrible things that happened during WWII.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154260666192582.post-29346073775968388872015-09-14T03:37:23.947-07:002015-09-14T03:37:23.947-07:00I'm heading to Amsterdam hopefully in my Europ...I'm heading to Amsterdam hopefully in my Europe trip in June!

And I love that you cannot take pictures of what lies within the walls of the building. It makes you stop and walk a little slower to be able to drink in all that is being said and shown.
