Amsterdam's National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entrance Ticket

 

During the Second World War, the German occupier forcibly assembled Jews in the Hollandsche Schouwburg, then a well-known theater. From there more than 46,000 men and woman were eventually deported to concentration and extermination camps. Children under the age of twelve were separated from their parents and placed in the creche (daycare centre) directly across the street. The lives of more than 600 of them were finally saved. Students working with the Dutch Resistance escorted them to safety via the Hervormde Kweekschool, a teacher’s training college located next door to the creche.
