    We waren erg onder de indruk na een bezoek aan o.a. het Joods Historisch Museum. Met 1 ticket kun je namelijk vijf locaties bezoeken . Alle locaties laten een specifiek deel van de Joodse geschiedenis zien. Wij zijn bij het Joods Historisch Museum gestart en vonden met name de gedeeltes voer de geschiedenis erg interessant. Daarna hebben we een bezoek gebracht aan de Schouwburg om vervolgens naar het Holocaust museum te gaan. Laatstegenoemde blijft lang in je gedachten. Al met al erg bijzonder en indrukwekkend en een zekere aanrader!

    Ken het museum als Joods Amsterdamse. Vandaag met mijn jongste zoon ernaar toe. Als altijd interessant maar wat een teleurstelling! Het museum is behoorlijk aan het verbouwen en dus heel veel niet te bezichtigen . In plaats daarvan heel (m.i. té) veel aandacht voor een donateur die totaal mijn interesse niet heeft ene Fiep .. Sorry maar daarvoor kom ik echt niet. Waarom níet vermeld. Ik wil graag komen als de verbouwing klaar is. Hannah
