Jewish Amsterdam

In the spring of 2007 a project was organised on a primairy school in Amsterdam about Cultural Inheritance. Within the framework of this project one of the teachers focussed on the Jewish traces in the neighbourhood around the school. The goal of this work was bringing the children into contact with the history of the neighbourhood and the Jewish traces and culture.

Although the neighbourhood around the Frederiksplein is not seen as a Jewish neighbourhood it was soon discovered that there still are many traces of Jewish life. This information was very valuable and it would be a waste to only use this information for a project that lasted for 3 weeks. During the project, the desire to make the website more professional grew. The first website, that won a price for the school can still be found here (in dutch only).

You can keep informed by our monthly newsletter (in dutch).

This website goes further than the old one. Information from other parts of the city, and information that is important for Jewish life and culture, is brought together. The original quest of the old website is transformed into a walking tour and it is the intention to make walking tours through other parts of the city.
This website is expanding all the time. When you have new information, or when you find errors, please inform us. You can mail us here .
From January 2008 parts of the website are translated. This will not be finished overnight, so please come back.

An interactive map with the most places of this website is available. Click this map, or follow "diversen" and "kaart".
