A “historic site” in Amsterdam usually means a place where something documented happened — not just an old building, but a location with a verifiable role in the city’s narrative. This archive collects the venues that qualify: the Anne Frank House at Prinsengracht 263 (where the Frank family hid from 1942 to 1944), the Hollandsche Schouwburg (a former theatre used as a Nazi deportation centre), the National Holocaust Names Memorial on Weesperstraat (commemorating 102,000 Dutch Holocaust victims by name), the National Holocaust Museum (opened March 2024 in the former Hervormde Kweekschool, the building from which Johan van Hulst’s network rescued roughly 600 Jewish children), Begijnhof and its 1528 Houten Huis, and the Beurs van Berlage. Each individual listing covers what actually happened on the site.
