Jewish Cultural Quarter Reviews

Impressive stories. The images of Bergen Belsen were very sterile, unfortunately.

Couldn't get in - museum closes 17.00 but ticket desk closes 16.30!!
But squinting through the building it seemed well organised, and the staff were friendly . . . Only by chance found separate, flat glass, memorial on the ground, in nearby park!

This is a must see place to Visit in Amsterdam . It tells the story of how the Dutch people had to endure the Natzi occupation . On the Wall there is Thousands of names of the family's and individuals that died in the Camps .that were Jewish that lived in The Netherlands during the war . Anne Frank is also on the Wall to as the whole Frank family name .

An important and powerful way to know about the sad history of the holocaust. There is a memorial where I stood quietly for a while thinking about the inconceivable atrocities during world war 2. Its a strong reminder that we must behave with compassion and justice.

Impressive place with an amazing story. Very personal approach by the employees, which is certainly of added value.

The Memorial was recently updated, and has some interesting exhibits. Entry fee includes entry to the Holocaust Museum (across the street), the Portuguese Synagogue, and the Jewish Cultural Museum. The memorial is simple but poignant. There is a brief audio tour of the memorial (information and free wifi are available at reception). A list of families affected by the Holocaust are on the main floor. Upstairs there are a number of interactive exhibits, including a 3d interactive model of Bergen Belsen, and a massive library of interviewers with survivors.

impressive exhibition. monument with enthusiastic employees

Very impressive. That something really happened !! So we must be vigilant

Very interesting and beautiful place about the history of the second world war.

Impressive. Unfortunately museums themselves closed. But the lady at the reception gave us a lot of information orally

Memorable place but not a special museum. Exterior facade is beautiful but the story behind it is ink black. Wall with all names is impressive as a memorial site. An attempt was made to create a museum on the first floor.

Took a look here while walking the Westerborkpad. The exterior on the street side has a beautiful facade. The back that is open exactly reflects the emotions of what happened here during the war years. Furthermore, an impressive wall with names of victims. Entrance is free. The volunteers are very friendly and are happy to provide explanatory information.

A solemn memorial to the atrocities committed to the Jews of Amsterdam. Very informative.

A very impressive place with a small but highly informative exhibition and extremely gracious and helpful staff. It also feels very welcome as a German. Especially the eigendliche memorial in the ruins of the former Showbourg has touched me very much. Thanks!

Very impressive and horrifying to see and hear what people can do to each other.

I didn't understand why a Holocaust memorial should be set in a old theatre. Please visit this historical place. You will see the light and extremely dark sides of humanity. It is a must see in Amsterdam

A powerful memorial with the story of the Dutch Jews. It is free admission but everything is in Dutch.

Has potential to tell a relatively beautiful story in an unpleasant era in a building with a unique history. I found the museum a little bare. Does have potential.

When we are in this part of Amsterdam it is always good to walk in here. To experience the peace that emanates from this monument. To think about how all this could have happened, and how we would reject and fight it all now. And how these genocide things happen over and over again - in our time, while we know about it through a heady communication network! The museum upstairs is small, but just big enough to let the weather get through to you. And every time we receive a warm welcome and we receive an explanation from the people present.

There is no doubt that the history behind this museum is sad and of vital importance that it be transmitted, but the lack of translation of many of the elements displayed, which can only be read in the original language, make it impossible to soak up the stories of the victims and survivors. The museum is scarce and I would not recommend your visit until they can provide more material, as it seemed very scarce. At least the entrance includes a visit to three other Jewish sites.

Interesting place for those who want to know first hand a little more history of the Jews in the Netherlands and the Holocaust.

The National Holocaust memorial commemorates the persecution of Jews between 1940 and 1945. It includes an impressive wall of names and a permanent exhibition.

Zeer indrukwekkende plek.
En erg behulpzame medewerker die ondanks de Corona maatregelen toch het beste er van maakt.
Tip doe de qr reader instaleren voor de rondleiding.

Zeer informatief.

Interesting reports of the kidnapping of Jews from the Netherlands.

What an impressive place this is. Especially when you realize what happened here. Well worth a visit.

A must place to learn about one of the most darknest era of our history as human beings.
God.have mercy.

Heel indrukwekkend. Ieder mens moet dit zien en dit vasthouden in zijn hart.

This place is a real gem, I'm so happy I found it! Of course the subject matter is heartbreaking, but necessary. The interactive map of Bergen Belsen is so informative and eye opening. Cannot recommend a visit more

From historic view point impressive! Unbelieveable the innocent victims.

Very interesting but incredibly small. Would have liked to see less digital exhibition methods.

Very powerful and moving. A must see national monument and reminder of the terrible Nazi occupation.

A beautiful informative center. The information gathered about what happened in the Second World War should never be lost. Unfortunately not really wheelchair friendly.

Museum of the victims of the Nazi massacre that, although small, has to be visited.

WOW what can be said about this pace. It is a must see. Quite upsetting thinking about what the Jewish community went through back then, the memorial museum takes you through the journey we sat down witj head phones on for 25 minutes watching a very heart renching video. Up stairs there is an interactive screen showing you around the camps.

A friendly welcome at the reception, where the history was briefly and very clearly told about the role that the Hollandsche Schouwburg played in the second world war.

Very special this place of course. The place where Jewish citizens were held captive before they were deported to various concentration and extermination camps. I can recommend seeing this. I've been there a number of times.

Sad - sad - horrible - to see the names of my grandma and grandpa aunts and uncles the whole family is looking at me and I look at them without seeing them. Very feeling.

Amazing place to make you understand ho things were in the II WORLD WAR

Another must on your trip to Amsterdam. This brought tears to my eyes, a solemn reminder of what we must never forget.

Nice but small building. There is also no place to eat in the building.

A fairly small and simple museum but with a lot of history!

Really very beautiful and very much that a lot of people have been brought there and wait to be brought to West bork betting.

Such an emotional monument that everyone should see.

Impressive memorial in the garden on the spot where the scene used to be.

Special place where the memories of the Shoa are kept alive. A gathering place of Jews who were deported from here during World War II, many never returned and were murdered

A worthwhile visit after visiting the Holocaust museum across the road.

Beautiful monument just outside the city centre. Staff is great and are very willing to answer your questions.

Somber museum displaying documents, photographs and artefacts from the persecution of the Jews during the Second World War. The displays and exhibits cover several floors. On the ground floor the names of the dead are displayed under an eternal flame. They do have English information sheets at reception.

Very depressing to read what people are capable of back then and today
