Description
Many people are interested in learning more about the Jewish history and Holocaust after visiting the Anne Frank Museum, so we created this tour to help you better understand the collective memory of World War II among the Jewish population in Amsterdam. Explore the city with a Local History Expert-Guide to hear stories similar to those of Anne Frank.
Choose the 3-hour option to explore Amsterdam’s Jewish neighborhood and see sites related to the history of Jewish people and World War II. This walking tour is a great addition to a visit to the Anne Frank House Museum (tickets are not included) as it will broaden your knowledge of the Holocaust and life in Nazi-occupied Netherlands. You will pass the Anne Frank statue in front of the Westerkerk, the beautiful church that she saw from the attic while hiding from the Nazis. Nearby you will also see the Homonment with a pink triangle, which was a sign used by Nazis to oppress LGBT people.
‘The Diary of a Young Girl’ is well known worldwide, but sadly it is a common story among the Jewish people. Follow your Private Guide to the square outside the Royal Palace to see the National Monument dedicated to the victims of WWII. Stroll through the former Jewish neighborhood and hear the story of how the Portuguese Synagogue was used to house the Jewish relics of deported Jews. The guide will take you to the National Holocaust Names Monument were you can find thousands names of the victims of the Nazi regime. You will also see the Monument to the Jewish Deaf Victims and the Monument to Auschwitz Victims near the former Reformed Kweekschool, which played a significant role in the rescue of hundreds of Jewish children from the war.
Choose the 4-hour option to add private transportation to the 3-hour itinerary. This opinion includes a 1-hour round-trip transfer with pickup and drop-off directly at your accommodation, so you can get to the meeting point right on time. With your Private Driver and a vehicle exclusive to your group you can avoid the hassle of using public transport or overpriced taxis.
Choose the 5,5-hour option to visit the Jewish Historical Museum and Portuguese Synagogue during your guided tour of the Amsterdam Jewish Quarter. Skip-the-line tickets to both attractions are included so you will not waste time in long queues. This extended tour is a great way to learn more about Jewish history, religion and culture. Part of the museum’s permanent exhibition also focuses on the persecution of Jews during the Nazi regime so it will match your interest in the subject.
Choose the 6,5-hour option to enjoy the convenient pickup and drop-off service with the 5,5-hour walking tour. In this extended version, private transfers between the meeting point and your accommodation are included to make it easier to join the tour. There are timed slots for entering the Jewish Historical Museum and Portuguese Synagogue, so booking this optional transport service is recommended to avoid being late.
