THE MUSEUM WILL BE CLOSED ON FEB 2nd 2020 UNTIL 2022 FOR REFURBISHMENT. Staff told me this museum will close, but memorial across the street will remain open. This is good news, since there museum definitely needs an update. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the place, but the place is quite small and it doesn't present a coherent history of the Holocaust in the Netherlands.

This impressive museum is a space providing all the stories and materials about this horrible history. The monumental National Holocaust Museum is opened and you can visit it also. But in my opinion if you are not interested in history, this is definitely worth visiting while in Amsterdam. All the presented topic here are gloomy. The entry price is reasonable and you can visit 4 extra related place with that price which were not crowded so you could view the exhibits at your leisure.

A museum showing many photographs in and around Amsterdam before and after the German occupation - unfortunately there are none available to be seen from the occupied city due to the photographs not being found - as yet. There are however many portraits of Jewish people during that time. The wall is where the place where oppressed children were taken and then pulled over it and rescued.

Interesting museum in a historic building.

Museum about Judith people who have been killed and deported during 2nd world war. Museum is opened since may 2016 and therefore not a lot to see so far. Each little summary of each people and their personal objects is very touching.

Wow, what an impressive place! Very simple set up (still in beginning stages) and so well done! The personal stories of the children who were taken away to the camps, with some of their belongings on display made WWII come so close and personal, it made a deep impression on us all (adults and teens alike). The suitcases display was equally sobering. Beautiful.

Very small museum but you can use your ticket again at 4 other places so well worth the price. Terrible, beautiful and very moving. I knew the statistics before but this gives you the human cost with personal stories mainly about children. Harrowing but necessary. Everyone should visit. I applaud your work.

On the day that I visited, the back section was under renovation, so there was less to see. If you're here, don't miss the Holocaust Memorial and Dutch Theater across the street. The same ticket gains you admission at both sites, as well as the Portuguese Synagogue and Jewish Historical Centre.

This was a much smaller museum than I anticipated, but the entrance pass to this location gave us access to 4 other locations. The real treat here was the guide, Sauci. She sat down with us and gave us an amazing history of the Jews in Amsterdam. I could have literally spent the entire day listening to her talk and still been upset when it was time to go. Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do!

As explained by other reviews, you expect more to see, touch and listen to in this museum. As a paradox, it was more touching for me the Jewish Museum, which is theoretically the first you visit before this, and in which you buy a comprehensive ticket. In this one, the actual exhibition of the photographers Annemie and Helmut Wolffs is very beautiful and touching, but still I expected more from this museum. Go, visit it, but don't miss the Jewish museum and the synagogue.

Impressive and good stories.

Small museum. Short films and lots of photos will be shown. Very interesting. With a purchased ticket, you can visit a total of five locations (see picture). Highly recommended.

Special place and experience

Breathtaking and heartbreaking. A very small museum but very informative. The photography exhibition about the Dutch Jewish population massacred by the Germans is stunning. There were 140,000 Dutch Jewish people who lived in the Netherlands before 1940 and 104,000 (men, women and children) were exterminated by the Germans (mostly in Sobibor and Auschwitz). Horrifying. My kids and I learnt a lot from the exhibition. Very painful but necessary. Thank you very much. We remember.

Highly moving museum. Very well kept and presents history in an accessible way.

We used to visit the Reformed Training School there.
