Description
Discover Amsterdam's WWII history on this 2-hour walking tour through the city's historic center and former Jewish Quarter.
Start outside the world-famous Anne Frank House on the Prinsengracht, where you'll hear the story of the Frank family and their years in hiding. From there, walk to Dam Square to see the National Monument, the city's official WWII memorial and site of the annual Remembrance Day ceremony.
Continue through Damstraat into the old center, passing the 15th-century De Waag before crossing Jodenbreestraat once the main street of the Jewish quarter and the house where master painter Rembrandt lived for nearly 20 years.
Arrive in the former Jewish Quarter around Jonas Daniël Meijerplein, home to Amsterdam's historic synagogues and the Dokwerker statue, commemorating the February 1941 Strike against the persecution of Jews. Your guide will walk you past the Holocaust Memorial (Namenmonument), listing over 102,000 victims, and the Hollandsche Schouwburg, the former theatre used as a deportation assembly point during the Nazi occupation.
