About the tour: The Holocaust Remembered – The Moving Story of Anne Frank & Oskar Schindler
The Holocaust in WW2 claimed more than 6 million victims across Europe. On this moving tour we follow the story of Anne Frank from her hiding in Holland to her death at Bergen-Belsen. We visit Concentration Camp sites, where the victims are remembered, including the most infamous at Auschwitz in what was German-occupied Poland during the Second World War, as well as seeing lesser known sites like Terezin. The tour ends with a look at the Nuremberg Trials where the full horror of the Holocaust was exposed.

Day 2 - Anne Frank’s Story
Today we travel to Amsterdam and begin to follow the story of the Frank Family with a look at the exterior of Anne Frank’s House. On 6th July 1942, Otto and Edith Frank went into hiding in the ‘Secret Annex’ of their home, with their daughters Margot and Anne. They were later joined by Hermann, Auguste and Peter van Pels and Fritz Pfeffer. Here they stayed for twenty-five months until the hiding place was betrayed in August 1944. The people in hiding were deported to the Westerbork Concentration Camp. Every Tuesday between July 1942 and September 1944 a train left Westerbork Camp full of prisoners destined for Auschwitz-Birkenau. Anne Frank and her family were put on one of the last three trains to leave Westerbork for Auschwitz in September 1944 just ahead of the Allied Armies entering the area. It is said that Anne and her sister were kept in one of the reconstructed huts on the site. We spend time at the camp and visit its museum before we continue to Hannover for an overnight stay.

Margot and Anne both contracted typhus and died within a short time of each other in March 1945, only a few weeks before the liberation.
