A small school is a tangible place to reflect on learning, community and remembrance. Museum Joodse Schooltje in Leek brings these subjects together in an educational museum and monument.

Jewish children were taught religion and Hebrew in this small school building. Plaques on the outside wall bear the names of Jewish residents of Leek who were deported and murdered during the Second World War.

After the war, the building was used as a shed. It was restored in 1995 and opened as a museum and memorial to Leek’s Jewish community.
