説明

Experience a vivid walk through Jewish history on this guided visit to several of Amsterdam’s most poignant Judaic landmarks. Gain an understanding of early Jewish life in Amsterdam and the Netherlands at the Jewish Historical Museum, founded some 70 years ago, shut down by the Nazis, and reopened stronger than ever in 1955. Stroll the streets of the historic Jewish quarter, once the largest such community in Western Europe. See the Holland Theater (Hollandsche Schouwburg), now a monument to the 104,000 Jews who never returned to Amsterdam after World War II. And listen for the echoes of ancient times at the faithfully preserved Portuguese Synagogue, built in 1675 to accommodate large congregations of Portuguese and Spanish Jews who fled to the Netherlands to escape rampant persecution and forced conversion in their homelands. Thankfully, a suitable refuge was found here in Amsterdam, a city where religious tolerance is a prevailing principle of life.
