Delve into the heart of Amsterdam's Jewish Quarter, a vibrant neighborhood steeped in centuries of Jewish history and culture. Explore the narrow streets, admire the architecture, and learn about the lives of those who called this area home before, during, and after the Holocaust. Discover hidden synagogues, historical landmarks, and cultural centers that tell the story of a community that has persevered through adversity.
Hollandsche Schouwburg

The somber atmosphere serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of intolerance.
Plantage Kerklaan
Walk along Plantage Kerklaan and uncover the history of the former Amsterdam Civil Registry, a target of the Dutch resistance, who bombed it to destroy Nazi records of Jewish citizens. Explore the surrounding area, once a haven for those seeking refuge during the war, and imagine the courage and resilience of those who risked their lives to protect others. The location near hidden shelters adds a layer of intrigue and reverence to this significant site.
Auschwitz Memorial
Pay your respects at the Auschwitz Memorial, a harrowing yet essential pilgrimage to honor the victims of the Holocaust. Walk through the preserved remnants of the concentration camp, witness the stark reality of the atrocities committed, and reflect on the profound impact of this dark chapter in human history. The memorial serves as a solemn reminder of the importance of remembrance and the fight against prejudice.
