Inside the lunchroom Bijzonder Amsterdams the guide will be waiting for you.

We will visit Waterlooplein, a square with deep Jewish roots. Once home to a thriving Jewish market, it was a vibrant center of daily life before the war. I’ll share the story of its past and how the Jewish community helped shape this part of Amsterdam.

We will pass by the Jewish Museum, a cultural institution that tells the story of Jewish life in Amsterdam. I’ll share some key highlights about its exhibits and the history of the Jewish community in the city.

We will walk past the Portuguese Synagogue, one of the most beautiful and historic synagogues in Amsterdam. I’ll tell you about its significance to the Jewish community, its architecture, and its role in Amsterdam's rich Jewish history.

We pass the statue "De Dokwerker," a powerful tribute to the February Strike of 1941 — the first and only mass protest in Nazi-occupied Europe against the persecution of Jews.

We walk through the impressive Holocaust Names Memorial, where we pause at the name of Anne Frank and other Holocaust victims. During this walk, I will tell you about the significance of this monument and the history of the Jewish community in Amsterdam.

We will walk along 'The Shadow Quay', a place with historical significance for the Jewish community in Amsterdam. I’ll tell you about its connection to the city’s Jewish heritage and its role during the Second World War

This café is located in a former Jewish girls’ orphanage. While we enjoy some food here, I’ll share the moving history of this building and the lives of the young girls who once lived here. It’s a stop where past and present come together in a meaningful way.
