Rotterdam, 24 August 2022
Guided tours in the autumn
The guided tours of the Orgelzolders in the Breepleinkerk Rotterdam South will resume in September.
The tours will follow a fixed pattern. After the welcome, the guide will present the story of the three Jewish couples who, during the Second World War, were in hiding for more than a thousand days, high in the attics behind the organ of the Breeplein Church. The families of the sexton and the pastor took care of them, assisted by many others. Everyone involved survived the war.
Up the ladder
Accompanied by the assistant guides, the presentation will be followed by a walk through and around the church, including climbing the ladder to one of the attics (for those who can do this).
For school classes and groups of students
A few mornings will be reserved for school classes and groups of students.
The guide on duty will agree the timing of the tours with the teacher or the school principal.

For other interested individuals
In addition, the attics will be open to the public on the first Saturday of every month. Start tour 11.00 am.
A maximum of 30 people will be able to participate in each tour.

For groups of more than ten people
Groups of more than ten people will also be welcome, except on the first saturday of the month. Guided tours for them will depend on the availability of (assistant) guides and the Breeplein Church.
