The National Holocaust Museum tells the story of the Nazi persecution and murder of the Jews of the Netherlands. Before the Second World War, Jews and non-Jews lived side by side. They had the same rights. But during the war, the Nazis and their collaborators killed around six million Jews in Europe. That was the Holocaust or Shoah. This is the first and only museum to relate the history of the persecution of the Jews of the entire Netherlands. Including the day-to-day life of Jews on the eve of the Second World War, the liberation as Jews experienced it, and how the Holocaust has been treated in our national culture of remembrance: all this is examined in the museum.

What you'll see and do
Through this former teacher training school hundreds of Jewish children, who were held captive in the crèche next door, were smuggled to relatively safe places with the help of the resistance during the Second World War. At this historic site, in the National Holocaust Museum, the story of the Holocaust is told in changing exhibitions and events in an artistic form and based on personal accounts.

Hollandsche Schouwburg
During the Second World War, the occupying forces made Jews assemble in this former theatre. Tens of thousands of people were held here, not knowing what fate awaited them, until they were deported to concentration and extermination camps. The Hollandsche Schouwburg is now a memorial site with a wall of names commemorating the Jewish victims. It also holds an exhibition about the Holocaust in the Netherlands.

Incredibly interesting, moving and surreal
This was such an interesting museum to visit, although at the same time it was quite surreal and obviously very emotional in places. There was so much to see and learn about, and I thought everything was presented incredibly well and respectfully. My family and I were given a free audio tour when we arrived, which was really good as we could go around completely at our own pace. We could spend longer on the parts we were particularly interested in, or miss certain parts if we didn’t want to see or listen to them, which I really appreciated. There were also videos where we could listen to Holocaust survivors talking about their own experiences. I found these incredibly interesting and moving, and they had English subtitles too, which was really useful! The museum was really well laid out, and each section was nicely spread out, so it never felt cramped or like there was too much information all in one place. The atmosphere was incredibly quiet; almost completely silent at times, which felt very appropriate considering the subject and made it easier to take everything in without feeling rushed. Our ticket also included the Hollandsche Schouwburg (the former theatre) across the road, which was great as we didn’t have to pay anything extra. It’s a much smaller museum, so it doesn’t take as long to go around, but it was still really interesting and we watched a video about its history. I personally found this part much more emotional, though. Standing in the exact same place where Jewish people had been rounded up before being deported to concentration and extermination camps felt incredibly surreal. Like the main museum, the theatre was also quite dark and very quiet, although the atmosphere there felt even more sombre. We spent approximately 2 hours there altogether, and I thought it was really good value for money, especially with the free audio tour and the theatre included. Overall, it was a really interesting, moving and worthwhile experience. Some parts were understandably quite difficult to see, but I’m really glad we visited and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re visiting Amsterdam.

Deeply moving experience
This was a very moving experience. It is a former Jewish theatre that was taken over and used by the Germans to deport tens of thousands of people to the concentration camps. There is a film / audio tour, explaining the process as well as personal stories from a few survivors but mostly victims some information was gathered by journals and letters that were found. There is a reflection garden that has a monument where people still place stones to remember the people that were lost and that suffered here. THe building was bought back to be converted into this monument. It is across the street from the National Holocaust museum. There are several other memorials in the area that I am grouping together- such as the memorial wall. You can also look up names of victims from Amsterdam on the digital monument by typing in their namess.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at €6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam National Holocaust Museum and Memorial Entry Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Food and Cultural Tour with 10 Tastings, Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Amsterdam 90 minutes Canal Cruise with bar and snacks on board.. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
