Overview
How was it that Amsterdam, the Jerusalem of the West, the one safe place to be Jewish in the world for 350 years, became the country in WWII with the highest percentage (75%) of Jews killed in Western Europe? We will use Anne Frank’s story and many other stories to understand what it was like to live in a Nazi regime of terror for both Jews and non-Jews.
The tour will take place in the Jewish Quarter and includes stops at The National Holocaust Names Monument, The Jewish Theatre, The Auschwitz Monument, and the Portuguese Synagogue, along with many more places with stories of the incredible exploits of heroes and traitors during the war, both Jewish and Christian:
-The Jewish children who were bravely saved from the transit center nursery.
-The nurse who led a resistance cell whose existence was never discovered.
-The paid informants who hunted down Jews in hiding.
-The effects of Queen Wilhelmina's anti-Semitism on the fates of Dutch Jews.
-We will also discuss the kinds of lies used to create such virulent anti-Semitism and how lies continue to be used today.
-This tour is a terrific substitute or accompaniment for the Anne Frank House.
