Memorial monument for Jewish Deaf victims of the nazi regime - Jewish Deaf Community Center
Sunday, October 17 at 14.00 hr. a monument will be unveiled in Amsterdam in memory of all the Jewish Deaf victims of the nazi regime. The unveiling will be done by Anna Vos-van Dam (the only Dutch deaf survivor of Auschwitz) together with Hedy d’Ancona (former politician).
As far as we know, this will be the only monument for Deaf Jews in the world that will be placed in public space.
The monument is situated in the same district as the Auschwitz monument, the Jewish Historical Museum, The 16th century Portuguese synagogue, the Hollandsche Schouwburg (which is the former theatre where all Jews were gathered by the nazis) and the Resistance Museum.
The monument will be placed near the former deaf school J.C. Ammanschool, from where deaf Jewish children and teachers were taken away by the nazis.
