A place with its own history
See how the windows, the view across the street and the route through the building are used to situate the historical events. Ask which parts of the building are original or reconstructed.
People behind persecution policy
Documents and personal belongings show how measures affected individual lives. Follow one person through several sources and avoid letting figures replace their story.
Part of a quarter
The Hollandsche Schouwburg and other venues of the Joods Cultureel Kwartier (Jewish Cultural Quarter) provide additional context. Plan them as separate visits, each with its own opening times and emotional impact.
Before you go
Daily 10.00–17.00, but Jewish and Dutch holidays can mean closure or shorter hours; check the monthly calendar.
