Itinerary
Begin your tour by the Anne Frank House (Exterior Only), where Anne, her family, and four others hid from the Nazis for two years. Learn about their lives in hiding,
See the statue of Anne Frank, a tribute to the young diarist, set against the backdrop of Westerkerk, the 17th-century church whose bells she found both a comfort and a reminder of the world beyond the attic.
Visit the first memorial in the world dedicated to persecuted LGBTQ+ individuals, commemorating those who lost their lives under the Nazi regime.
Walk through Amsterdam’s historic main square, where the Nazi recruitment office once stood. Pay your respects at the National Monument, a cenotaph honoring victims of World War II and later conflicts.
Learn about this Dutch Jewish philosopher whose rationalist ideas on religion and politics were considered radical for his time and later influenced the Enlightenment.
Jewish Resistance Monument (Joods Verzetsmonument) Erected in 1988 to commemorate Jewish resistance fighters who lost their lives during World War II. This site marks the first mass protest against Nazi occupation
Pause at this subtle yet moving sidewalk monument, where stones trace the outline of the orphanage from which Jewish children and their caretakers were deported to Sobibor in 1943.
Admire what was once the world’s largest synagogue in the world, a symbol of Amsterdam’s once-thriving Jewish community. Across the street, the Jewish Museum offers a deeper insight into Jewish life, history, and culture in the Netherlands.
Reflect at this powerful statue, commemorating the February Strike of 1941, when thousands of workers staged the first public protest in occupied Europe against Nazi persecution.
A small but poignant monument honoring Jewish deaf and hard-of-hearing victims, labeled as “Untermenschen” by the Nazis and systematically murdered.
In a quiet corner of Wertheimpark, this shattered mirror memorial reflects the sky, symbolizing how the heavens themselves were broken by the horrors of Auschwitz and other concentration camps.
National Holocaust Memorial & Stumbling Stones Visit the National Holocaust Names Monument, engraved with the names of 102,000 Jewish victims and 220 Roma and Sinti murdered by the Nazis. See the Stumbling Stones, small brass plaques embedded in the pavement, each marking the last known residence of a deported Holocaust victim.

Traveler reviews
Great Anne Frank and Amsterdam Jewish History tour with wonderful guide
Clare was a great guide, very knowledgeable, totally open to questions and really brought the subject matter to life.
Visually experiencing the Struggles of the Jewish People in Amsterdam
This tour walked around the neighborhood and area surrounding Anne Frank’s house. Our guide Marko was extremely knowledgeable about the story of Anne Frank and her family as well as the history of the Jewish population dating many years before WW2 and shared the interaction between this ethnic group, the city of Amsterdam and the Nazi Army. He pointed out various landmarks that were and some that still are important to the history and culture of the Jewish people. Seeing actual buildings and neighborhoods while hearing the stories of the struggles and atrocities endured by the Jewish people is much more impactful than just reading about it in a book.
Powerful and Moving Tour
Clare was lovely. She gave a very informative and powerful tour of the Jewish Quarter and the WWII atrocities that occurred there. I appreciated the historic photos and explanations she shared, which were great supplements.
Anne Frank walking tour
Tijs is the most amazing, informative and passionate guide. The outline of the tour takes you through a distressing age of human history, and this is conveyed with sensitivity, sorrow, understanding and acknowledgement of inglorious events. I would absolutely recommend Tijs to act as your guide
10/10 great tour!
Wonderful tour with Clare who provided a wealth of information and answered all of our questions.
