About this audio guide
This guide to the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam is set on Plantage Middenlaan, where a wartime deportation theater once stood across the street from a teacher-training college and its neighboring nursery. It follows the daily gap in a guard's attention that families used to move children between the two buildings, and introduces Walter Sueskind, Henriette Pimentel and Johan van Hulst, who worked inside that gap. Stand at the entrance doors, where children once left this building hidden in laundry baskets and shopping bags.
