Description
Visit the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam to explore the history of Jewish persecution during the Second World War. The museum highlights Jewish daily life before the war, the effects of Nazi occupation, and how the Holocaust is remembered in the Netherlands.
The museum is located in the former Hervormde Kweekschool, a site where the Nazis used the adjacent daycare as a gathering and deportation point for Jewish children. Henriëtte Pimentel, the director, helped hundreds of children escape by using the Kweekschool.
Before the war, Jews and non-Jews lived alongside each other with equal rights. During the Nazi occupation, six million Jews were murdered across Europe, including three-quarters of the Dutch Jewish population. The museum presents this history transparently, giving victims recognizable faces.
