We spent an absolutely fabulous afternoon with Henk exploring the Jewish Quarter in Amsterdam. Henk’s knowledge of the history and current environment in the area combined with personal stories of his family expanded our understanding and enhanced our appreciation for the challenges, strength, and resilience of the Jewish community. A walk through the neighborhood led to a small park with a beautiful “Never Forget Auschwitz Memorial” which we would not have found by ourselves. A must-see! The film and memorial at the Dutch Theater, the gorgeous Portuguese Synagogue with the Ets Hiam Library and magnificent torahs, and the Holocaust Wall of Names were all highlights of the tour. Many thanks to Henk for sharing his expertise with us!
We learned so much with Lora! We couldn’t imagine a better day in Amsterdam than the one we had with her.
Two of us did the Rijksmuseum tour with Roser. She was very personable and knowledgeable. She provided a well-curated tour of the museum, which we much enjoyed.
