Dive deep into Anne Frank’s story on a tour through Amsterdam’s UNESCO-listed city centre and the Jewish Quarter, accompanied by passages from her diary. Discover how everything changed in Amsterdam during World War II and what this meant for the lives of Anne Frank and thousands of other Jewish people living in Amsterdam at the time.
Anne Frank was among the numerous Jews who sought refuge in hiding to evade deportation. Countess individuals were transported to concentration camps, with only a handful making it back. As part of your tour, you'll pass significant landmarks such as the Anne Frank House, the Portuguese Synagogue, and various sites of remembrance. These include Stolpersteine (stumbling stones), the National Monument on Dam Square, the Auschwitz Memorial, and other places that honour the victims of the Holocaust and reflect on the repercussions of the Second World War.
You'll also gain insight into the origins of Amsterdam’s Jewish Quarter and learn about its transformation by Jewish people expelled from Spain, contributing to Amsterdam's evolution into one of Europe's most affluent cities.
