Harrowing, but excellent - This is a small museum that covers the Holocaust from the Dutch perspective. It's well laid-out and is blunt in its description of what the Holocaust victims suffered and the extent of Dutch collaboration. While it mainly deals with Jewish victims, Romany and Sinti victims are also mentioned. In spite of visiting several Holocaust museums over the years, this visit was a very moving one. I was somewhat reluctant to visit due the horrific campaign being conducted by Israeli forces in Gaza (December 2024). I needn't have been concerned as this museum rightly focuses on the horrors of the Holocaust.

Harrowing, Educational & very sad - Visited this exhibition which is only a 15 min walk from the centre of Amsterdam. Tram 14 to Plantage (ARTIS). By far one of the best exhibitions I have ever visited. Lockers for bags and coats. Lifts for access and laid out on a few floors. Audio recommended. Staff very helpful and friendly. In fact I meet a lovely staff member (lady) outside of the museum. She told me all about the museum and the other places of interest to visit. Well laid out and informative. Some of the history of this building is very moving.

Time well spent! - There were a lot of exhibits to view and a lot of information to absorb. I really enjoyed the mix of different media as part of the information that was shared. It was a stark reminder of the importance of remaining diligent as well as respectful of others.

Very moving experience - We were on our way to the Resistance museum and we noticed this Museum so decided to go inside. It was a very small museum and our first impression was not to continue and leave as it didn’t look very big. We are glad we decided to go in. It was very informative about the holocaust and the affect it had on the Netherlands. We were inside for nearly 2hrs, there was so much to see. The ticket also covered several other museums and lasted a month. We didn’t have time to visit anywhere else but would definitely go back there if we are in Amsterdam again

A moving experience - The memorial is inside what used to be a theatre. The building was used as a deportation centre in 1942-43 so this is a most appropriate place for a memorial. There are exhibits of different ways to present information about the Holocaust on the upper floors. The museum is across the street and has some experimental exhibits in preparation for the permanent museum.
