Lonely Planet review for Hollandsche Schouwburg

The Hollandsche Schouwburg played a tragic role during WWII. After 1942 the theatre became a detention centre for Jews awaiting deportation. Up to 80,000 people passed through here on their way to the death camps. Little more than the facade is left standing today, and there is a memorial room and an exhibition room with videos and documents on the building’s history.
