(NL Times) King Willem-Alexander was greeted with boos from demonstrators on his arrival at the official opening of the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam. Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who arrived at the National Holocaust Museum a short time later, was also booed by the demonstrators.
The protesters also shouted various slogans such as “Free Palestine” and “Israel terrorist,” an ANP reporter heard. Two banners reading “Stop the genocide” and “Never again is now” were hung on a building right next to the museum.
Before King Willem-Alexander entered the museum, he handed a mezuzah to the granddaughter of Holocaust survivor Rudie Cortissos on the occasion of the opening of the National Holocaust Museum. A mezuzah is a quiver containing a fragment of text from the Torah, which is attached to the doorpost according to Jewish custom.
