Small group WWII Tour: Nazi concentration Camp & Battle of Arnhem
Amsterdam, Netherlands
10 hours
What You Will Do
On this small group tour "In the footsteps of WW2" we dive into history. This is a great addition to tours on Jewish history in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank House.
We build on our existing tour to Nazi concentration Camp Vught with a visit to the sites of Operation Market Garden, A Bridge Too Far, General John Frost and the battle of Arnhem. On this tour we will learn more about this fascinating part of Dutch history.
We visit a former Nazi concentration camp, with its barracks, memorials and crematorium. Corrie Ten Boom was imprisoned here during the war. Many Jewish children were sent to Poland from here and hundreds of resistance members were executed.
We will also visit the sites of Operation Market Garden and the battle of Arnhem: what was the plan and how did it fail? What were the implications for the Dutch people and the Allied forces? The exhibition at the Airborne Museum in Arnhem, the war cemetery and the John Frost Bridge are a must see on this tour.
