Liten grupp WWII Tour: Nazisternas koncentrationsläger och slaget vid Arnhem
Beskrivning
På denna lilla gruppturné "I andra världskrigets fotspår" dyker vi in i historien. Detta är ett bra komplement till turer om judisk historia i Amsterdam och Anne Franks hus. Vi besöker ett före detta nazistiskt koncentrationsläger med sina baracker, minnesmärken och krematorium. Corrie Ten Boom fängslades här under kriget. Många judiska barn skickades till Polen härifrån och hundratals motståndsmän avrättades. Vi kommer också att besöka platserna för Operation Market Garden och slaget vid Arnhem: vad var planen och hur misslyckades den? Vilka konsekvenser fick det Holländska folket och de allierade styrkorna? Utställningen på Luftburna museet i Arnhem, krigskyrkogården och John Frost-bron är ett måste på denna tur. Om du hellre besöker krigskyrkogården i Groesbeek, Overloon eller Magraten, eller det tidigare koncentrationslägret Westerbork där Anne Frank och hennes familj fängslades, boka gärna vår privata WW2-turné!

Resplan
Vi besöker det före detta nazistiska koncentrationslägret Vught i södra Holland. Lägret användes första gången 1942 och innehöll 31 000 judiska och politiska fångar. Vi kommer att besöka resterna av koncentrationslägret med dess vakttorn, baracker, krematorium, originaltåg och barnminnesmärke. Vi besöker också avrättningsplatsen i skogen där över 300 motståndsmän avrättades. Lägret har en bokhandel, en bra ljudrundtur och en liten cafeteria.
John Frost-bron över Rhen vid Arnhem var den sista bron som behövde fångas under Operation Market Garden. Om de allierade kunde erövra denna bro skulle vägen till Tyskland ligga öppen. Bron spelar en viktig roll i filmen A Bridge Too Far.
Vi besöker Airborne Museum vid Villa Hartenstein. Under slaget vid Arnhem i september 1944, som var en del av militäroperationen Market Garden, blev Hartenstein högkvarter för British Airborne Division under hårda strider. Det vågade försöket att slå igenom tyska linjer och erövra Ruhrområdet för att snabbt avsluta kriget misslyckades. Bron vid Arnhem visade sig vara en bro för långt. Nu är Hartenstein hem för personliga berättelser från brittiska, polska och tyska soldater såväl som från civila, berättade genom museets unika historiska föremål.
Vi besöker Arnhem Oosterbeeks krigskyrkogård. Här läggs de flesta av de 1684 stupade soldaterna från landstigningarna i september till vila.

A must do. I cannot recommend this tour enough. This is a small, intimate tour with a very knowledgeable guide. The tour guide takes the time to share their own personal experiences, which adds another layer to the tour which is absolutely moving.
We had a very moving and informal trip to Camp Vught, and Arnhem. Ava at Dutch Tours was incredibly friendly, helpful, empathetic and informative - even sharing her own stories along with the background to this period of time. Thank you so much for making our time in Amsterdam so memorable!
Best tour guide we have ever had. The incredible information she has and experiences she knows about is mind blowing. Highly recommended. Picked up on time. Had snacks, water and sodas. Very knowledgeable and had an amazing day.
This was educational and very personal to the guide so learned on a higher level. This tour was for my husband but the guide brought it to life for me and I enjoyed a day I was not looking forward to spending! Don't miss this tour! I would give a higher rating if I could!
And that on your birthday Michele, thank you so much for trusting me on that special day! It was wonderful to have you with me and I'm happy to hear that you appreciated the day so much. All the best to you both! Eva - Dutch Tours
Trip was an excellent tour. Sarah provided an excellent narrative with some personal history and cultural info. She was a great driver and was very courteous to our group. We had people with dietary needs and she was able to find us a great restaurant. She knew her history at all the stops. We loved the Airbourne Museum and we'll never forget our trip to Kamp Vught. I strongly recommend this tour.
thank you so much for this nice review, it was a memorable day indeed. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay here in the Netherlands! All the best, Sarah ~ Dutch Tours
Eva provided so much background and personal experiences passed on from members in her family to help us understand the brevity of what happened, why and the inhumane treatment of the Jews and others who tried to protect them. Heartbreaking how all this unfolded. Additionally, Eva thoroughly described the Battle of Arnhem and how it came to be and why followed by a trip to the museum and Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, where over 1700 Allied soldiers were buried. The entire experience of seeing the war site, museum and cemetary gave me a very good understanding what our allied troops were fighting against and why. This was an extremely educational day and I'm very happy I booked this tour. I needed to know. I highly recommend this tour to others who are unclear how well organized concentration and elimination camps were designed and orchestrated by the Nazis to reach their end goal in their reign of perceived superiority and how necessary it was for our Allied forces to fight them.
Thank you for this very detailed review, good to hear that you appreciated the tour so much. All the best, Eva - Dutch Tours
Fantastic tour! The personal details that our guide shared of her family’s experience during World War 2 and at Camp Vught made the tour especially memorable. Would highly recommend this tour.
Dear Laurel and Robert, it was a privilege to have you on board on my tour. Thank you so much for your warm interest. I hope to see you back one day for some more NL exploring! All the best to you both, Eva - Dutch Tours
The Footsteps of WWII tour was a humbling experience. Our tour guide Eva was the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. Eva shared the personal experiences of her father and grandparents throughout the day which helped immerse us in that time period and helped us process the sites from a different perspective. The Airborne Museum at Villa Hartenstein was very well done, we could have spent days there. The grounds and audio narrative of Camp Vught concentration camp were well done. Eva was very personable, accommodating and her English was excellent. Eva was a great story teller which helped us understand the oppression of the Jewish community in the Netherlands. This was a great tour with an amazing tour guide. We would highly recommend this tour.
