Plantage Middenlaan 2, 1018 SR Amsterdam, NederlandAbout this quest
Only very few of the inhabitants who were living there at the beginning of the War ever returned from the camps. However, the Plantage neighbourhood, instead, is known primarily for its stories of resistance.
What was it like on the day the Canadians finally arrived and the city was liberated?
Highlights
Explore the sites that tell of occupation, but also of survival and resistance.
From the Holocaust Memorial to the elegant Dutch Theatre that became a deportation centre, to the site of a home for the elderly that became a clinic where forced sterilizations took place during the occupation.
The mission: Your story in Amsterdam
As a resistance operative, you have been selected to infiltrate the sealed-off, German-controlled Amsterdam Jewish District - the Ghetto - and report back with any information that might be useful for Allies.
