Zeer ontroerende en emotionele ervaring

Inbegrepen in het ticket waren 4 musea - die elk voor Joodse mensen door de eeuwen heen diepgaande informatie gaven over verschillende delen van het leven. Het Holocaust-museum en -monument was een zeer ontroerende ervaring en plaatste in perspectief hoeveel de oorlog het leven van mensen heeft beïnvloed. Het was een herinnering aan hoeveel levens er verloren zijn gegaan, evenals de impact die het op de wereld heeft gehad. De Portugese synagoge was zeer interessant, evenals opscheppende schoonheid waarin de audiogids ook uitdrukking gaf - die bij de prijs was inbegrepen.

Good but insufficient time.

There's a lot to see and I think that it's impossible to do it all in a day. I suggest only the Portuguese synagogue plus food and drinks in the Historical Museum restaurant plus one of the other exhibitions. The ticket needs to be extended to cover 2 days, not one.

Your ticket is valid at four sites and each is worth exploring. The Jewish Historical Museum is housed mainly in two former synagogues and had many interesting exhibits about Judaism and Jewish life in the Netherlands. The Portuguese Synagogue is across the street. It was interesting to tour this historic building, which is still in use as a synagogue. Nearby is the National Holocaust Memorial, in a former theatre that was used as a deportation center during WWII. Across the street is the National Holocaust Museum. Although not yet complete, you can see a number of exhibits as a preview.
