The Hollandsche Schouwburg, situated at Plantage Middenlaan 24 in Amsterdam, is a significant memorial dedicated to the Jewish community during World War II. Originally opened as a theatre in 1892, it became a deportation centre for Jews from 1942 to 1943. Today, it serves as a national monument, featuring exhibitions related to the Holocaust and the Jewish history in the Netherlands. Visitors can view its educational facilities, including a memorial wall inscribed with over 6,700 names of deported Jewish families. The venue is accessible, and while entry is typically free, some special exhibitions may charge an admission fee. Please verify visiting hours, as renovations will continue until March 2024.
