AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS |

The
Hollandsche Schouwburg (the Dutch Theatre) was a collecting
point and deportation centre for Jews. The theatre was
situated in the old Jewish quarter of Amsterdam. The
unfortunate people were transported to Westerbork camp in
Holland, and from there to death camps.
In 1962 this site was designated as a war memorial, in
remembrance of the Jews who perished under the Nazi regime.
The theatre auditorium has been replaced by an open
courtyard with an obelisk where the theatre stage once
stood. The entrance hall leads into a memorial chapel where
an eternal flame burns. Engraved on the Wall of Remembrance
you can read the names of more than 100,000 victims who
never returned.
