The National Holocaust Museum, located in the Hervormde Kweekschool building, offers a deep look into the Holocaust, highlighting different stories.
During the war, the nearby Crèche was used by the Nazis to collect and deport Jewish children. However, Henriëtte Pimentel, the director, managed to lead hundreds of these children to safety through the Kweekschool.
At the museum, you can explore exhibits that detail these events and honor those who risked their lives to save others. This visit provides a chance to reflect, remember and learn more about the Jewish persecution in the Netherlands.
Combine Nationaal Holocaustmuseum with other Amsterdam favorites. Some things are better together.
