Additional Information

Journey back into history with the ‘Anne Frank’s Life in Holland’ tours organised by Historical Netherlands Tours. Immerse yourself in the world of Anne Frank and gain a profound understanding of the incidents, narratives and intentions of World War 2 from a Jewish, Dutch, and German viewpoint.

We will guide you to the locations where Anne Frank resided, had fun and studied before she went into hiding. These sites have preserved their original appearance from her era.

Throughout the tour, you will get to know about the individuals who hid with Anne in the secret annex, those who aided them, and speculate on who might have disclosed their whereabouts. You will gain insights into Dutch resistance fighters and collaborators, acts of bravery and the lack of courage. We will also view the incidents from German eyes. The ultimate question we aim to provoke is: ‘Could such a scenario replay in the current age?’

The first day will be spent in Amsterdam. We’ll either walk or use public transportation if necessary. For the second day, we’ll venture out to Westerbork in a private vehicle, providing pick-up and drop services from your hotel.

Visit significant places in Anne's life - We learned about these tours through friends. The tour actually consists of a number of sub tours. We did the tour in south Amsterdam (Rivierenbuurt) and the one in the Plantagebuurt on one day. The tour to Kamp Amersfoort, the Verscholen Dorp and Westerbork we did on a second day. The first covered Anne's life before she and her family went in hiding and led us along a number of significant places (Euterpe straat, headquarters and interrogation place of the SD!). The second drew the greater picture of the rounding up and deportation of the Jewish inhabitants of Amsterdam. The second day we went to Kamp Amersfoort. This had actually been set up in the same way as the bigger camps like Auschwitz.The tour then went on to the Verscholen Dorp, a number of underground dwellings deep in the woods near Vierhouten. Finally we went to Westerbork, the camp from which the trains departed for the German concentration camps. We found these tours very interesting. Martin was knowledgeable and explained well.If you want to learn about Anne's life in a short time and not just by visiting the Achterhuis, do one or more of these tours!
