Description
Trace Anne Frank’s story on a private tour through Amsterdam’s Jewish Quarter and Old Town led by an expert guide. Begin at the National Holocaust Names Monument, where Anne Frank’s name is among thousands of victims. Your guide explains the historical context of her diary and shares insights about her life in Amsterdam during Nazi occupation.
Walk through the former Jewish Quarter, learning how the Frank family and many Jewish refugees fled to the Netherlands, only to face persecution. Approximately 75 to 80 percent of the Dutch Jewish population was deported and killed during World War II, a reality that shaped Anne Frank’s fate.
See significant landmarks including the Portuguese Synagogue, Jewish Historical Museum (outside), Rembrandthuis, National Monument dedicated to WWII victims, and the Anne Frank Monument near Westerkerk, which Anne could see from her hiding place. The tour concludes outside the Anne Frank House for reflection on her story.
