Jodenbuurt

Netherlands

Jodenbuurt, Amsterdam's historic Jewish quarter, holds 42 Bunkabop connections spanning 12437 places across 13 topics. History and religion form the dominant threads, with the neighborhood's Sephardic Jewish heritage linking it to Spain and Portugal, and the city's Ashkenazi community documented from the 17th century. The Great Synagogue opened in 1671 and the Portuguese-Israelite Synagogue in 1675. Its strongest ties outside the Netherlands reach France, Spain, and Portugal. During World War II, it served as the Jewish ghetto of Nazi-occupied Netherlands.
