The Journey
Jewish Museum
Delve into the rich tapestry of Jewish life in the Netherlands at the Jewish Museum. Discover the origins of the Dutch Jewish community around 1600 and explore key religious observances like Pesach, understanding their significance through captivating exhibits. Learn about the symbolism of wearing a kippah and immerse yourself in Jewish customs, rituals, and festivals. Through personal stories, unique objects, and art, the museum unveils the vibrant history, religion, and culture of the Jewish people, showcasing how these traditions are cherished and kept alive today. Discover Jewish life then and now and everything in between.
Portuguese Synagogue
Step back in time at the Portuguese Synagogue, a majestic 17th-century edifice once the largest synagogue in the world. Located in the heart of Amsterdam's old Jewish neighborhood, this breathtaking landmark remains an active place of worship, meticulously preserved in its original splendor. Experience the unique ambiance created by hundreds of candles, the sole source of light, and marvel at the architectural grandeur. Whether you're Jewish or not, you are welcome to explore this exceptional testament to Jewish heritage and architectural beauty. Visits are possible when services are not being held.
National Holocaust Museum
Confront the harrowing history of the Holocaust at the National Holocaust Museum, which recounts the systematic persecution and murder of Dutch Jews during World War II. Through poignant exhibits, the museum reveals the day-to-day lives of Jews before the war, the escalating terror under Nazi occupation, and the tragic fate that befell so many. Experience the liberation as Jews experienced it, and learn about how the Holocaust has been treated in our national culture of remembrance: all this is examined in the museum. This moving memorial serves as a crucial reminder of the devastating consequences of prejudice and hatred, urging reflection on the importance of tolerance and understanding.
Hollandsche Schouwburg
Reflect on the somber history of the Hollandsche Schouwburg, a former theater transformed into a deportation center during the Nazi occupation. From July 1942, tens of thousands of Jews were forcibly assembled here before being transported to concentration and extermination camps. Today, the site stands as a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, serving as a testament to their suffering and a poignant reminder of the atrocities committed. Visit this sacred space to pay your respects and contemplate the enduring lessons of this dark chapter in history.
