Hollandsche Schouwburg

The Hollandsche Schouwburg is a Holocaust memorial in the Jewish Cultural Quarter of Amsterdam. During the Second World War, the Nazis used the former schouwburg (theatre) building as a site for Jews to report for deportation. Thousands of Jews gathered here and were forced to wait inside for days — sometimes weeks — before their deportation to concentration camps across Europe.

As the Hollandsche Schouwburg is a memorial (rather than a museum), entry is free of charge for all visitors.

Accessibility

• The entrance is threshold-free. Two automatic doors are operated by a member of staff. In order to enter as a wheelchair user, both doors must be opened at the same time (space is otherwise too limited). Please ask a member of staff to ensure both doors are open.

• The indoor area of the memorial is all located on the ground floor

• The outdoor memorial has ramps where needed

• Videos are projected across the wall and can be easily viewed when seated

• Depending on the height of the wheelchair, the digital “Find a person” touch screen may be difficult to reach and operate when seated
