A very special site of Jewish heritage: the shul with mikvah (1889), the house of the chazzan (1905), and school rooms (1909) in #Winterswijk, in the Achterhoek region of the Netherlands. The adjacent cemetery was closed in 1884 – the current one is located on the edge of town.

Testimonies to the Jewish community of #Groenlo or Grolle: the building that housed the synagogue between 1822 and 1950 and the nineteenth-century cemetery just outside the city walls. In 2004, fifteen lead amulets from the seventeenth century were excavated just nearby.

The New Synagogue at the Gerard Noodtstraat in #Nijmegen, an Orientalist design (with Torah scroll shaped centre), was consecrated in 1913. During WWII, the building was used as a storage space by the Nazis. Not long after, it became a church, and thereafter a museum. Since 2023, it houses a gym.

For survivors of the Shoah in 1945 Amsterdam, broadsides or single-sheet prints had an important disseminating function. In my article, published in Zutot @degruyterbrill.bsky.social, I demonstrate the significance of looking at this type of source for the post-war period: brill.com/view/journal....
