The Experience

I didn’t expect the quiet in the Portuguese Synagogue to hit me like that. Hundreds of candles flickering against old wood, not a single electric light—just this soft waxy smell and the shuffle of someone’s shoes on stone. Our guide, Pieter, told us it’s been like this since the 1600s. He kept his voice low, almost out of respect, I guess. The way he described families sitting here during Shabbat made it all feel less like a museum and more like stepping into someone else’s memory.

The Jewish Museum was next—so many little stories tucked into glass cases. I got stuck reading about Pesach traditions; there was this display with a child’s drawing from wartime Amsterdam. It looked so normal at first glance, but then you notice the tiny suitcase in the corner. I found myself slowing down, trying to imagine what it must have felt like for kids back then. You get these audio guides (super easy to use), and there was one bit where a woman talked about baking with her grandmother before things changed. Smelled faintly of cinnamon near that exhibit—maybe my mind playing tricks.

After wandering on our own for a while (the ticket lasts all week, so no rush), we met up again at Waterlooplein for the Anne Frank walking tour. It started right outside the Jewish Museum—Pieter again, waving his umbrella so we wouldn’t get lost in the market crowd. He pointed out where Anne used to buy sweets before everything closed down during World War II. There was this moment near Hollandsche Schouwburg—the old theater turned memorial—where nobody spoke for a while. Just bikes rattling past and someone humming nearby. I still think about that silence.
