Jewish Amsterdam context
A community history marked by creativity, persecution and loss
Jewish communities became central to Amsterdam’s commercial, intellectual and cultural life from the late 16th and 17th centuries. The old Jewish quarter later suffered catastrophic destruction during the Nazi occupation and Holocaust. This quest connects surviving places and memorial landscapes while treating the people who lived here as history, not as props for a mystery story. Playable languages: English.
