During my tour of the Jewish Quarter, I will take you on a journey through time, starting with the arrival of the first Portuguese and Spanish Jews in the neighbourhoods around today’s Waterlooplein. We will walk from the stately synagogues at Mr. Visserplein, through Uilenburg and Rapenburg, and into the 20th century. I will tell you about the history of Jewish Amsterdam, the city’s growth and prosperity, as well as my own family’s story.
