Description

Visit the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam and learn about the persecution of Jews in the Netherlands during the Second World War. Discover the daily life of Jews before the war, the liberation experienced by Jews, and the handling of the Holocaust in the national memory culture.

During your visit to the museum, which was the former Hervormde Kweekschool, learn how the Nazis used the adjacent daycare as a gathering and deportation point for Jewish children. Director Henriëtte Pimentel helped hundreds of them escape, including through the Kweekschool.

See how before the Second World War, Jews and non-Jews lived alongside each other, with the same rights. During the occupation, the Nazis murdered approximately six million Jews in Europe, known as the Holocaust or Shoah. Three-quarters of the Jewish population in the Netherlands were killed.

Tour the museum and see how it presents this history unabashedly, giving the victims recognizable faces.
