The Story of Anne Frank
& Oscar Schindler Coach Holidays 12 Days -
10% Discount A
moving and thought-provoking journey of remembrance.
The
Story of Anne Frank & Oscar Schindler Tour Itinerary
DAY 1: To the
Zandvoort area, near Amsterdam for an overnight stay.
DAY 2: The story of the Frank Family
and a visit to Anne Frank’s House
(included). The Frank family went into
hiding in the ‘Secret Annexe’ of their
home on 6th July 1942; they stayed for
25 months until their betrayal on 4th
August 1944. The former hiding place,
where Anne Frank wrote her diary, is now
a museum, recounting the history of the
eight people in hiding and those who
helped them during the war. Anne Frank’s
diary is among the original objects on
display. Then we travel on to Hannover
for the night. B
DAY 3: Bergen-Belsen and Anne Frank's Memorial
(included) Anne
Frank and her sister, Margot, were taken
to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp
where thousands were dying of hunger
and sickness daily. Today, all that remains
on the site is a graveyard. We pause to
pay our respects, seeing the memorial
dedicated to Anne Frank and her sister,
who both died at Bergen-Belsen. Onward
travel to Berlin for a 3-night stay. B
DAY 4:
Berlin and the Final Solution (included) We visit the Wannsee
Conference Centre (entrance is
approximately €2 per person and is
dependant on modern day conferences
not taking place) where the infamous
meeting took place that determined the
‘Final Solution’ and fate of European
Jews. B
DAY 5:
German Resistance and the Holocaust Memorial (included) We see
the new Holocaust monument and several sites associated
with Jewish culture. Completed in May 2005, this memorial
is in the heart of Berlin, near the German parliament building
and the famous Brandenburg Gate. We also spend time exploring
where modern Berlin fuses with Cold War Berlin: the Allied
Museum, Check Point Charlie, the remains of the Berlin Wall
and Glienicke Bridge, where East and West swapped spies.
B
DAY 6:
We travel
to Krakow for a three-night stay. B
DAY 7:
The Oscar Schindler Story and Kasimirsh (included) We visit the factory and other sites used
by Oscar Schindler in his remarkable attempt to save the
lives of his workers. Oscar Schindler spent millions to
protect and save his Jews and died penniless, but he earned
the everlasting gratitude of the Schindler-Jews. B
DAY 8:
The Auschwitz Story (included)
A sight of great significance to
the Holocaust, we visit the Auschwitz site
seen as the central point in the plan to
exterminate a whole race. In June 1942,
the biggest murder campaign in history
began, when the Nazis began their plot to
systematically destroy the entire Jewish
population of Europe. The great majority
of Jews deported to Auschwitz – men,
women and children – were immediately
sent to their deaths in the gas chambers.
An extremely moving day. B
DAY 9:
We travel
to Prague and stop for the night. B
DAY 10:
The Heydrich Story and Nuremburg Courtroom (included) Reinhard Heydrich was one of Hitler’s most
ruthless Nazis, second in importance only to
Heinrich Himmler in the SS organisation; he
was the principle planner of the Final
Solution. We briefly cover his story as we
pass through the Czech Republic. On arrival
in Nuremberg, we look into the War
Crimes Trials, when we visit the court room
(subject to modern-day court procedures
not taking place) used to administer justice
to many who took part. We stay tonight in
Nuremberg. B
DAY 11:
Travel
through the Rhine Valley to Belgium for an overnight stay.
B
DAY 12: To Calais,
then return home. B
