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.

What To Expect

Nationaal Monument Kamp Vught

We visit the former Nazi concentration camp Vught in the South of Holland. The camp was first used in 1942 and held 31,000 Jewish and political prisoners. We will visit the remainders of the concentration camp with its watchtowers, barracks, crematorium, original train and children's memorial. We also visit the execution site in the woods where over 300 resistance members were executed. The camp has a book shop, a good audio tour and a small cafeteria.

The John Frost Bridge - John Frostbrug

The John Frost Bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem was the last bridge that needed to be captured during Operation Market Garden. If the Allies could capture this bridge the road to Germany would lay open. The bridge plays an important role in the movie A Bridge Too Far.
