120
Overview
The Walking Tour about Anne Frank Diary and Nazi Amsterdam explores a dark chapter in Amsterdam's history. Before World War II, Amsterdam was home to around 80,000 Jewish people. Tragically, only 12,000 remained after the war, making the Netherlands the Western European country with the highest loss of Jewish lives. This tour tells the story of Annelise Frank, a young girl with dreams of becoming a writer, and analyzes the impact of the Nazi German occupation on Amsterdam.
On this walking tour, visitors will learn about the brave Resistance efforts of Amsterdam's citizens and the secret lives of hidden Jews through real stories and facts. The tour visits significant locations such as the Royal Palace Amsterdam, National Monument (Dam Square), Former Austrian Tavern, Homomonument, and the Anne Frank House (Secret Annex). Expect to gain a deeper understanding of Amsterdam's history during World War II.
This experience includes visual materials to help illustrate the explanations provided by the guide. Please note that entry to the Anne Frank House is not included in this tour.

The Journey
Royal Palace Amsterdam
Originally conceived as Amsterdam's Town Hall during the Dutch Golden Age, the Royal Palace stands as a testament to the city's power and prosperity. Today, it serves as one of the Dutch Royal Family's official residences. Step inside to marvel at its opulent interiors, adorned with impressive artwork and sculptures that reflect the rich history of the Netherlands. Even if not open for visits, the building's grandeur commands attention from Dam Square.
National Monument (Dam Square)
Dominating Amsterdam's Dam Square, the National Monument stands as a powerful symbol of remembrance for the victims of World War II. More than just a memorial, it embodies the resilience and spirit of the Dutch people. Reflect upon its significance as you observe the solemn ceremonies and gatherings that take place here, connecting with the nation's collective memory and commitment to peace.
Former Austrian Tavern
While the specific name is not provided, exploring former Austrian taverns in Amsterdam offers a glimpse into the city's diverse culinary and social history. These establishments, once hubs of Austrian culture and cuisine, provide a unique window into the interactions between different communities within Amsterdam. Seek out these hidden gems for a taste of authentic hospitality and a journey back in time.
Homomonument
The Homomonument, a poignant and powerful public monument, stands as a tribute to all individuals persecuted for their sexual orientation. Composed of three pink triangles set into the ground, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and acceptance. Reflect on its message of hope, tolerance, and the importance of celebrating diversity in Amsterdam and beyond.
Anne Frank House (Secret Annex)
The Anne Frank House is a profoundly moving experience, allowing visitors to witness the cramped and concealed space where Anne Frank and her family hid from Nazi persecution during World War II. Although entry into the secret annex itself is not directly granted in this scenario, the building serves as a chilling reminder of the human cost of intolerance and a testament to the enduring power of hope and resilience as expressed in Anne's diary. This site is a pivotal point for reflection on history's darkest chapters.
