Anne's famous diary ends a few days before she, and the others, were suddenly arrested and put on transport, ultimately to her death. In a one-day tour outside Amsterdam we will take you to Camp Westerbork, the transit camp from where Anne Frank, and more than a 100.000 Jewish people with her were sent to Auschwitz and other camps. Not many would return. By following her footsteps, we will learn about many more people, places and events to tell the story of the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War 2. By visiting the sites and telling the stories of normal people under extreme circumstances we will bring the time of the war closer to home. With the use of authentic photos and videos, and by explaining the events from all perspectives, we will find out about the motives of the people involved, and we will ultimately ask the question: Could this happen again in our time?

Inclusions: Private transportation

Exclusions: Lunch

Martin van Elmpt

By tracing the footsteps of Anne Frank, from the time she lived in Amsterdam, the Secret Annex, and the tragic last months of her life to Westerbork, Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen we will not only learn about her short and important life, but also of thousands of other Jews, Dutch civilians and the German perpetrators. Going to these places and see them for yourself, accompanied with photos of those years, will put everything you know of these events in a unique perspective. As this is a private tour you can fully personalise the experience, keeping in mind the distances we need to cover. This will be a life changing experience.

It was a great day to visit the city since there was not so many people in the city - the architecture in this student city is very gothic and intense. This was a day trip and I hope to visit again some day to take more stunning architecture photos.
