Joop Hollanders zonder titel

Walk with a historian through the old Jewish Quarter. I will show you more than 15 sites that tell us part of the tragic story of the Holocaust. Among them the headquarters of the Jewish Council, Anne Frank's high school and the theatre that served as a deportation centre. Different monuments, buildings, squares and parks show us different aspects of the darkest page in the otherwise glorious history of beautiful Amsterdam. Let me take you on a walk and show them to you. Our starting point will be in front of the building at Weesperplein 1, with the letters GGD written on it. We will walk along the Amstel River, some beautiful canals and our tour will end in the Plantage Quarter, next to Amsterdam zoo Artis.

The Memorial Plate Jewish Amsterdam Walk highlights the rich Jewish history of Amsterdam and its surrounding areas, featuring notable sites such as cemeteries and synagogues. Visitors can explore various significant landmarks that reflect the cultural and religious heritage of the Jewish community in the region. This initiative is a collaborative effort by local historians and organizations dedicated to preserving Jewish heritage, ensuring that the stories and impacts of the community are acknowledged and remembered. The project includes educational resources and guided tours that offer insight into the past and present of Jewish life in Amsterdam. Generated from the website
