During the German Occupation of World War II, the Nazis used the Hollandsche Schouwburg as an assembly point for Dutch Jews en route to the concentration camps.
Since 1962 this theatre has been a memorial to these dramatic events with an eternal flame and Star of David emblem carved in granite as well as a list of the families who passed through here. There is a small memorial garden, located behind the museum, which provides a quite haven.
