Westertoren bells
Westertoren bells - Amsterdam
“Thursday, March 25, 1943
Incidents like these are always accompanied by other disasters, and this was no exception. Number one: the Westertoren bells stopped chiming, and I’d always found them so comforting.”
These church bells in Westerkerk were made by François Hemony in 1648. They chime daily now, just as they did when Anne Frank wrote about them and just as they did 300+ years ago.
