Overview

History Tours Netherlands presents our historical "Anne Frank in Holland" tours.

Walk in the footsteps of Anne Frank and learn about the World War 2 stories, events and motives from a Jewish, Dutch and German perspective

We will take you to the places Anne Frank lived, played and went to school before going into hiding, places that look almost exactly like it was in her time.

Along the way you will learn about the people hiding with Anne in the annex, the helpers, we look at who could have betrayed them, we learn about Dutch resistance fighters and collaborators, of acts of courage and cowardice, and we will look at the events from a German perspective. Ultimately we will ask ourselves the question: Could this happen again in our time?

Day one will take place in Amsterdam and we will be able to walk and take public transport if needed. On day 2 we will be driving with a private car to Westerbork, picking you up and dropping you off at your hotel.

We learned about these tours through friends. The tour actually consists of a number of sub tours. We did the tour in south Amsterdam (Rivierenbuurt) and the one in the Plantagebuurt on one day. The tour to Kamp Amersfoort, the Verscholen Dorp and Westerbork we did on a second day. The first covered Anne's life before she and her family went in hiding and led us along a number of significant places (Euterpe straat, headquarters and interrogation place of the SD!). The second drew the greater picture of the rounding up and deportation of the Jewish inhabitants of Amsterdam. The second day we went to Kamp Amersfoort. This had actually been set up in the same way as the bigger camps like Auschwitz.The tour then went on to the Verscholen Dorp, a number of underground dwellings deep in the woods near Vierhouten. Finally we went to Westerbork, the camp from which the trains departed for the German concentration camps. We found these tours very interesting. Martin was knowledgeable and explained well.If you want to learn about Anne's life in a short time and not just by visiting the Achterhuis, do one or more of these tours!
