The Second World War & Holocaust in Amsterdam
Hey there! I'm Alex, a tour guide in Amsterdam for many years. I'm very passionate about this city, even after having to move out a while back I still call it home. Like so many I am and always have been in love with Amsterdam. A sleazy place to do a pub crawl and visit the Red Light District for many, I would like to convince you of the opposite: Amsterdam is vibrant, beautiful, alive. Outside the tourist traps that Google Maps will send you there's a city worth exploring. One that's both loud and quiet, that harbors a unique artistic side that a lot of people miss out on. One with a fascinating and important history, both in contributions to society in the form of of the arts, science, and commerce and one with lessons to learn from the past. I know this text was supposed to be about me, but I'd rather talk about Mokum. Join me and I will try to convice you that this city is worth falling in love with!

Tour description
Step into the pages of history and embark on a journey through the shadows of Amsterdam's past. Join me as we explore the profound impact of the Second World War, with a specific focus on the Holocaust.
In this tour, we will traverse the city's timeline, starting in the Golden Age when Jewish people enjoyed significant freedom, and culminating in the year 1945, the end of the Second World War.
As your guide, I am committed to approaching this subject with the utmost seriousness and honesty. The Holocaust remains one of the most important and poignant topics of our era, and it demands our unwavering attention. Together, we will confront the harsh realities, unearthing the stories of those who suffered unimaginable horrors.
Through engaging narratives and thought-provoking discussions, we will paint a chronological picture of Amsterdam's wartime experience, providing context and understanding. Our aim is not only to educate but also to create a space for reflection and dialogue, allowing us to consider the implications of the past on our world today.
This tour is a solemn reminder of the atrocities that occurred during this dark chapter of human history. Join me as we walk through the footsteps of the past, navigating the triumphs and tragedies of Amsterdam's Jewish community. Together, let us honor their memory and strive for a future built on compassion and understanding.
