We wanted to dedicate part of our stay in Amsterdam to honor those from the past that perished as well as getting a more in depth understanding of their immigration story. We also appreciated the various statues and memorials honoring those that challenge the norm. Our Anne Frank “house” tickets were delivered the morning of the walk and we gained access without issue.”
