Tag: Hollandsche Schouwburg

There are plans to establish a national Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam.

The museum will likely be located in the Hollandsche Schouwburg — a former theater from which the Nazi occupiers deported tens of thousands of Jews during the Second World War.

Built 1892, the Hollandsche Schouwburg (Dutch Theatre) long was a house of culture and entertainment.

But during the Second World War the German occupiers turned the building into a place of grief and sorrow.

It is now a war memorial in remembrance of the Jews who were deported from here.
