The tour centers in Amsterdam’s Jewish Quarter, an area scarred by trauma yet defined by resilience. Visitors follow the footsteps of Anne Frank, traversing neighborhoods that once sheltered her and others before the horrors of the Holocaust disrupted lives. Beyond Anne Frank’s story, the route sheds light on key moments such as the February Strike of 1941—a bold act of defiance against Nazi persecution—and the harsh Winter of Hunger that tested the city’s endurance.
