About the Hollandsche Schouwburg
The Hollandsche Schouwburg is currently temporarily closed for renovations. This former theatre was used by the German occupiers during World War II to hold tens of thousands of Jews before their deportation. Tens of thousands of women and men were deported from here to concentration and extermination camps. After the war, the theatre became a place of remembrance and reflection.
Reopening 2024
At the beginning of 2024, the Hollandsche Schouwburg will reopen as a memorial site. Voices of people who were persecuted and murdered and of those who survived guide the visitor around. They talk about the theatre in the years before, during and after the war. A new work of art enhances the visitor experience at this charged place of memory.
