(Hebrew text not transcribed)
Na de grote vernietiging bleek slechts de helft van de leerlingen en docenten nog in leven
Mogen hun zielen gebundeld worden in de band van het eeuwig stralende licht
In this school building, which was designated a Jewish high school by the occupying forces during the Second World War, more than 400 girls and boys received education in the prime of their lives.
After the great destruction, only half of the students and teachers were found to be alive.
May their souls be bound in the bond of the eternally radiant light.

1. Joods Lyceum (Verdwenen Joodse Scholen, in Dutch). Introduction (in translation):
During the isolation of Jewish pupils, which became reality on the orders of the occupier in September 1941, it turned out that Jewish HBS and Gymnasium pupils mainly attended public schools. (786 pupils out of more than 4,000 were Jewish). It goes without saying that the municipality saw it as its responsibility to set up VHM education for these pupils, who were generally no longer subject to compulsory education.(Submitted on October 22, 2024.)
Thus, a Jewish HBS-A and a Jewish Lyceum with a Gymnasium and HBS-B department were established.
2. Anne Frank (Wikipedia). Anne Frank was a student at this school. Excerpt:
After the summer holidays in 1941, Anne learned that she would no longer be allowed to go to the Montessori School, as Jewish children had to attend Jewish schools. From then on Anne, like her sister Margot, went to the Jewish Lyceum (Joods Lyceum), an exclusive Jewish secondary school in Amsterdam that opened in September 1941.(Submitted on October 22, 2024.)
