Anne Frank was a German girl and Jewish victim of the Holocaust, who is most known for keeping a diary of her experiences. Her diary is a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and a testament to the human spirit. She kept it for just over two years - from her 13th birthday on 12 June 1942 to the moment of the Nazi raid on the secret annex where she lived in hiding with her family. This tour shows you Amsterdam during World War II, through her eyes. The tour goes from the Jewish Quarter to Anne Frank’s House, unraveling the complete storyline of these dark days.
Starting at the Jewish Historical Museum, your guide will navigate you past old monuments and buildings that still hold traces of war. Learn about how the citizens of the city struggled during this troubling time as your guide tells you all about the Winter of Hunger and the February Strike. The former is a famine that took place in the German-occupied Netherlands in 1944-45. It is estimated that at least 22,000 deaths took place during this famine. The 1941 February Strike, on the other hand, is the first public protest against the Nazis in occupied Europe, and the only mass protest against the deportation of Jews to be organized by non-Jews.
Continue your walk through the Jewish neighborhood and notice the Portuguese synagogue and museum, one of the most important legacies of the Jewish community in Amsterdam. See also the Hollandsche Schouwburg theater, which was converted into a deportation center during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. You'll also spot the head office of the Jewish counsel along the way. Your tour ends next to Anne Frank's House. Keep in mind that this ticket does not include entry into Anne Frank's house.
