I’ve taught about the Holocaust and read Anne Frank’s diary with many classes I have taught. The experience of walking these floors and experiencing her life this way was priceless. Try to secure tickets 2 months in advance. But don’t give up hope if you need to buy them the day of your visit. Make sure to be online right at 9 AM!

The Rembrandt Monument is a monument that stands in tribute to Rembrandt van Rijn and located in Rembrandtplein where he used to have a house. Originally one a single statue of Rembrandt sat in the middle of the public square, it's now a sculptural ensemble of his most famous paint, The Night Watch. The ensemble is a 3D interpretation of the paint and was put together as part of Rembrandt's 400th birthday in 2006. This is an absolutely amazing monument and a must-see in Amsterdam.

The Homomonument is a series of three pink marble triangles placed between the Westerkerk Church and the Keizersgracht canal, each at a different level (canal, ground, above ground). It was built to commemorate folks in the LGBT community who have been subject to persecution. When we visited, a small offering of flowers and a candle were left by the canal, commemorating someone who was loved. I also love someone in the community, and being at the monument moved me. It's kind of hard to spot, but it's worth the search.
