In this building, Hortusplantsoen 2, from 1928 to 1976 the J.C. Amman School was located, offering an education to deaf children of all creeds and colors. During the Second World War (1940-1945) here, too, were the Jewish students and teachers persecuted by the German occupiers. This plaque is a reminder that they were forced into hiding, and that most of them were killed in the German (concentration) camps. We shall never forget them.
Erected 2007 by Stichting DovenShoah.
