JEWISH AMSTERDAM

_{Our walk starts at the heart of the Jewish history in Amsterdam, the
Waterloo Plein. First you enter the City Hall and hear the history of the area.
Then you will see the monument for the Jewish resistance fighters, walk through
the Jodenbreestraat, pass the House of Rembrandt on your way to the Uilenburger
synagogue. You will pass one of the most beautiful renovated factory buildings
in Holland, the former diamond factory. The diamond industry is at the heart of Jewish history of
Amsterdam.}

_{Our walk takes us to the Portuguese synagogue for an extended visit.
(not on saturday)}

_{You will view from the outside the the biggest complex of synagogues in
Europe, which today houses the
Jewish Historical Museum.}

_{The history of the Jews in Amsterdam is a very sad and painful history.
We will stand at the Auschwitz Memorial, in memory of the six million Jews that
were murdered during the Second World War. Almost 70000 of these Jews came from
Amsterdam. You will visit the better neighbourhood, called the “Plantage”, in which 50% of the Amsterdam Jews lived
until 1942. Our walk will end at the Hollandse Schouwburg. In this former
theatre, the Jews of Amsterdam were gathered by the Nazi-Germans and sent from
here to the concentration camps. Today, a Memorial and Museum stand at this
site.}

Visit this impressive complex, which has been built in 1674 and has almost not been changed since then. Hear about the rich history of the Sephardi Jews of Amsterdam. After you have watched an interesting movie you will be taken on a walk through the huge complex of the synagogue and will hear and see all the details of this fabulous building and its history. Then we will take you to the another synagogue. You may finish your visit at the synagogue shop.

_{This synagogue is active since 1880, hidden behind a common house door.
The interior has a special atmosphere. Services are held every shabbat. A visit for feinschmeckers.}

_{You may want to visit the world famous Anne Frank House. This is an
important period of Jewish history. A visit takes at least 2 hours. The site is
on the western side of the city and it may take some time to get there.}

Kosher Lunch and dinner are possible with advance reservation.

_{It will be great to relax after your day of Jewish Amsterdam, listening
to a special concert of Jewish music at a special location. We offer you various
programs from different musicians.}

Jewish Historical Museum

_{We did not put this museum in our program as it takes a long time to
visit. It is certainly worth a visit. We will be pleased to arrange a guided
tour for you in this museum.}

_{A classical boat round trip through the canals of Amsterdam. ( 1
hr. + 15 minutes)}

_{After a long walk it will be nice to relax on a luxurious boat and view
this lovely city from your chair.}
