About this quest

You have probably heard and read a lot about the Dutch Golden Age. But did you know that many of its origins lay in the old Jewish Quarter of Amsterdam? 

Here is an equally 'golden' opportunity to explore that part of the old city's past. You will walk past its temples and learn its stories - from diamond factories to canals to master painters and philosophers. Get ready to discover the secrets and origins of Jewish Amsterdam.

Highlights

  • You will discover the old city's history and engage with it like you could never have before.

  • Walk past what was once the largest and most lavish Synagogue in the world!

  • Past the legendary fleamarket.

  • Skirt the old port of Amsterdam. Stroll past Rembrandt's home and the studio where painted his greatest masterpieces.

The mission: Your story in Amsterdam

Take your time to look around you. 

It is early May 1945. Canadian troops are nearing the city that is currently awakening from a long famine winter. 

Before reaching Amsterdam, Canadian forces must be provided with intelligence, as to the conditions within the city and any pockets of German activity that they might encounter. As a resistance operative, you have been selected to infiltrate the sealed-off, German-controlled Amsterdam ghetto and report back with any information that might be useful.
