Herzog to Open Amsterdam Holocaust Museum

President Yitzchak Herzog is set to inaugurate the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam on Sunday, despite planned protests related to Israel’s war against the Hamas in Gaza. The museum clarified that Herzog was invited before the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent offensive in Gaza. In a statement, the museum acknowledged the concerns raised by Herzog’s attendance but emphasized that he represents the homeland of Dutch Holocaust survivors who relocated to Israel.
