The highly anticipated film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars centers on two teenagers with cancer, Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Ansel Egort). While on a trip to Amsterdam, they share their first kiss in the Anne Frank House when Lidewij (Lotte Verbeek), the assistant of Hazel's favorite author Peter Van Houten (Willem Dafoe), takes them around the city. BuzzFeed's Ariane Lange felt enraged by the scene, while her colleague Emily Orley felt different. Below, they state their cases.

Emily Orley: So I have been thinking about The Fault in Our Stars nonstop since I walked out of it.

Ariane Lange: Me too, except I've been thinking about how much it enraged me.

Emily: OK, but before we get to the rage, were there any parts that you enjoyed? Or dare I ask, that made you cry?

Ariane: I mean, I'm a known sap, so yeah, I cried. I cried at the end, in particular. Actually Laura Dern as Hazel's mother had me teary a couple of times. The parents were really the part of the movie that got to me — the way they watch their children suffer.

Emily: Right, but at least we knew going into the movie that those moments were to be expected, in a way. You know it's a story about two teenagers with cancer so of course it's going to be extremely sad. But, as someone who didn't read the book first, the scenes I didn't know about were even harder to digest.

Ariane: I guess I could say I felt the same way — I also didn't read the book until after seeing the movie, and I only read the book to try to comprehend the movie's ahistorical and callous treatment of Anne Frank. I read the book looking for some kind of explanation, because it felt so out of place in the movie.

Emily: Well, they were in Amsterdam!

Ariane: Geographically, you're right; it makes sense. But they go to her house without really talking about her, or what happened to her. They don't really talk about her once they're inside the house. Lidewij says Otto was the only one to survive, and t

On my recent trip to the Netherlands, I visited the Anne Frank House. I’ve been to Amsterdam numerous times and every time I didn’t get a chance to go… until now! And I’m so glad I did it!

You may be interested in visiting the Anne Frank House because you’re interested in World War II, a fan of the Diary of Anne Frank, or just curious. Whatever the reason, visiting the museum is well worth it.

For me, I am interested in the history of World War II. I was also curious how people could live in hiding for so long during such a sad and difficult time.

I found the whole experience of visiting Anne Frank House fascinating. If you have an opportunity to go to the museum, I believe it is well worth the short time and cost it takes to visit.

Here are 10 things that in retrospect it would have been helpful to know before I visited the Anne Frank House.

We will look at how and when to book tickets to Anne Frank House, FAQs, what you will see during your visit and tips for getting the most out of your experience.

I hope this post helps you to make the most of your visit to the Anne Frank House.

A visit to the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam is an unforgettable experience &#; moving, heartbreaking and provocative.

For anyone visiting Amsterdam, the Anne Frank Museum is invariably described as a “must see”. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, attracting over 1 million visitors every year. As evidence of its popularity, it’s open almost every day of the year. When I visited Amsterdam this Easter, it was top of my list too, in a way that seemed almost automatic – but then, the visit had been a long time in the planning.

I first read The Diary of Anne Frank in the mid s when I was around Coincidentally, my eldest brother and his wife had just visited Amsterdam, and sent home a postcard with a canalside view, describing climbing the steep narrow stairs into the Secret Annexe where Anne’s family hid from the Nazis from July to August Though Anne described the physical world of her confinement so precisely in her diary that I, like most other readers, felt able to visualise the space in my mind, it seemed miraculous that the hiding place was still in existence and could be visited. I made a plan then and there to visit Amsterdam one day and climb the stairs myself. I didn’t quite expect it to take this long, but as an old Dutch cheesemaker once said, sometimes good things take time.

In the entrance hall at the Rijksmuseum, I was warned by a sweet-faced Brazilian woman of German origin (bratwurst and caipirinhas – Olá!) to expect long queues at the Anne Frank Museum and to book in advance if possible. With all online tickets sold out a week in advance, it was time to do things as we did in the now near-unimaginable olden days before the internet: form an orderly queue outside and wait my turn.

My first attempt didn’t quite work. I got to the Museum at about pm on Saturday night, assuming (foolishly) that every other tourist in Amsterdam would be at dinner or trying to solicit a hooker in the
