Description

The Jewish community’s influence on Amsterdam is profound and enduring. Fleeing religious persecution in Spain and Portugal, waves of Jewish migrants arrived in the relatively tolerant city during the early 17th century, forever shaping Amsterdam’s culture and identity. Centuries later, history repeated itself when the Frank family fled Nazi Germany, seeking refuge in what they believed would be the safe haven of the neutral Netherlands. This deeply moving tour follows Anne Frank’s life and traces the broader Jewish community’s journey—highlighting their significant contributions, shifting local perceptions, and the devastating impact of Nazi occupation that nearly obliterated their presence. Led by expert guides, this unique experience goes beyond the well-trodden paths, offering an intimate and powerful exploration of the horrors of Nazism in the Netherlands. The journey concludes outside the Anne Frank House, leaving visitors with a lasting impression of resilience and remembrance.
