€750,000 per year in additional funding will be made available to support secondary schools in organising Holocaust-related educational activities.

Among the planned initiatives is the creation of a free Amsterdam-Yiddish dictionary, which will highlight the community’s cultural contributions. The municipality also intends to expand the De Joodse Stad project to all districts and Weesp, showcasing Jewish life, history, and traditions both past and present.

According to the Amsterdam’s Royal Concert Hall, the decision was rescinded as a legal battle “would not be good for anyone—not for the Concertgebouw and certainly not for the city of Amsterdam.”

The Chanukkah Concert Foundation said the cancellation contributes to “the isolation the Jewish community feels it is being pushed into in the current era,” even as the concert hall stated it will “always remain a place where the Jewish community is welcome.”

The Dutch Government Information Service responded to the incident by stating that vandalism was never acceptable and not the way to “demonstrate one’s opinions.”

The hotline, L’Chaim, will collect complaints and reports and submit them to the university’s Executive Board.
