Museum Joodse Schooltje: a focus on Jewish life in Leek

A small school is a tangible place to reflect on learning, community and remembrance. Museum Joodse Schooltje in Leek brings these subjects together in an educational museum and monument.

Plan your visit ↗

A place of its own in the village

The museum presents the Jewish history of Leek. Take the local angle as your starting point: which people, customs and places are highlighted? That way, your introduction need not begin with a broad historical overview.

Learning and remembering

The museum’s description links the little school with teaching in religion and Hebrew. Notice how the museum connects everyday life with remembrance. Give both subjects room and read the explanations carefully.

A guided visit

The organisation offers group visits by appointment and mentions the option of a visit to the cemetery. Ask in advance how such a programme is structured. Especially with a school group, a clearly defined question helps you hold the discussion afterwards without reducing the history to a collection of loose facts.

Before you go

Groups visit by appointment only. Regular opening is on a few weekday afternoons; check the exact day.
