Geschiedenis en herinnering: de Holocaust door de ogen van één familie
Van 7 maart tot 24 augustus 2025 toont het Nationaal Holocaustmuseum in Amsterdam de tentoonstelling Between You and Me. Memory Boxes by Amos van Gelder and Amit Gur. De tentoonstelling laat zien hoeveel verhalen en perspectieven rond de Sjoa binnen één familie bestaan.
Verhalen van overleving en verraad
De moeder van Amos van Gelder ontsnapte aan een zekere dood toen dubbelspion Anton van der Waals haar onderduikplek in Zaandam ontdekte. Hij besloot haar niet aan te geven. Van der Waals was een van de beruchtste landverraders tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, verantwoordelijk voor de dood van talloze verzetsmensen. Hij kreeg na de oorlog de doodstraf. Waarom juist deze man besloot het leven van een jong Joods kind te sparen is onbekend. Het verhaal is één van de twintig geschiedenissen die al tientallen jaren worden verteld in de familie Van Gelder. Zo was David Cohen, de oudoom van Amos van Gelder, voorzitter van de Joodse Raad en overleefde zijn grootmoeder Flora het ‘Experimenten Block’ in Auschwitz, dankzij de Dobermanns van dokter Joseph Mengele.
Verbonden door de geschiedenis
In Between You and Me portretteert Amos van Gelder twintig personen. Naast familieleden zijn dat ook oorlogsmisdadigers als Ferdinand Aus der Fünten en Albert Gemmeker. Ze zijn met elkaar verbonden door de oorlogsgeschiedenis van zijn familie en door zijn eigen verwerking daarvan. Het is daarmee zijn artistieke en persoonlijke interpretatie van de gebeurtenissen. Vrijwel alle aspecten van de Sjoa komen in de familiegeschiedenis voor: onderduik, deportatie, verraad, moord, verzet, Jodenjacht, collaboratie, Joodse Raad, overleven en bekering. De portretten hangen in de ruimte in kisten die de kunstenaar Memory Boxes noemt. De naam verwijst naar dozen of kistjes waarin je waardevolle herinneringen kunt bewaren. De ervaringen van de geportretteerden geeft Van Gelder weer in het Hebreeuws, geschilderd in een aureool rondom hun hoofd. Flarden van hun herinneringen worden ook uitgesproken – hoorbaar via de audiotour. De gesproken teksten worden begeleid door een compositie van Amit Gur die de personen muzikaal met elkaar verbindt. Een diagram maakt de onderlinge relaties tussen de personen zichtbaar.
Textuur
Amit Gur componeerde al eerder muziek geïnspireerd op beeldende kunst, ook bij werk van Amos van Gelder. Hij laat zich heel direct inspireren door Van Gelders werkwijze: soms componeert hij zelfs in de onmiddellijke nabijheid van de schilderijen.
Gur en Van Gelder delen een fascinatie voor wat zij ‘textuur’ noemen. In de schilderijen van Van Gelder is deze textuur direct zichtbaar en tastbaar, bijvoorbeeld in de letter-reliëfs. In de muziek van Gur ontvouwt de textuur zich met het verstrijken van de tijd.
Amos van Gelder
Amos van Gelder (Haifa, Israël, 1960) volgde zijn kunstopleiding in Nederland en de Verenigde Staten. Israël, de Hebreeuwse taal, Joodse traditie en sinds enige jaren ook de Sjoa vormen zijn inspiratiebronnen. Daarom exposeert hij bij voorkeur in ruimtes met een Joodse context, zoals een voormalige synagoge. Memory Boxes is het eerste Sjoa-gerelateerde werk waarin zijn familiegeschiedenis centraal staat.
Amit Gur
Amit Gur (Tel Aviv, Israël, 1987) studeerde compositie in Jeruzalem en Amsterdam en werkt tegenwoordig als onderzoeker en docent aan het Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Aan de Universiteit van Antwerpen promoveerde hij op een onderzoek naar compositie en de waarneming van muziek.
Between You and Me: Memory Boxes by Amos van Gelder and Amit Gur, samengesteld door gastconservator Birgitta van Blitterswijk, is te zien van 7 maart tot en met 24 augustus 2025 in het Nationaal Holocaustmuseum. Nationaal Holocaustmuseum

⏰ Reminder!
Tomorrow from 11:00 on the Waterlooplein in #Amsterdam, there will be a Jewish led protest (organized by Erev Rav) during the opening ceremony of the National Holocaust Museum. Where Israeli president, genocide enforcer and war criminal Yitzhak Herzog is scheduled to attend. Please come if you are an anti-Zionist Jew, Palestinian or an ally (everyone who's against genocide should be an ally of course)!
Erev Rav published a FAQ about tomorrow, I have copied to this events page (scroll down):

📢📢📢 Urgent call to action 📢📢📢 Join us on Sunday the 10th of March! Our pain shall not be instrumentalised! Ceasefire now! Never again is now! We express our deep concern regarding the upcoming opening of the Dutch national Holocaust Museum, where Israeli president Yitzhak Herzog is scheduled to attend alongside Dutch King Willem Alexander. While we honor the memory of our ancestors who perished in the Holocaust and recognize the importance of preserving their memory, we cannot stand by silently while the Genocide in Gaza continues to unfold. We are organizing a peaceful protest moment during the opening ceremony of the National Holocaust Museum. We as Jews deserve better than the instrumentalisation of our pain in order to justify an ongoing Genocide! The resilience of the martyrs of the Holocaust guide our actions because even our dead deserve to rest without having their killings weaponized to normalize the Genocide of the Palestinian people. Join Erev Rav in a Jewish led protest moment, happening during the opening ceremony of the National Holocaust Museum on Sunday 10th of March from 11:00 onwards! Location: Waterlooplein. Ceasefire now! End the occupation! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are you protesting the museum itself? Absolutely not. As Jews we are happy to see the lives and stories of Shoah survivors highlighted. We are protesting the presence of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in the opening ceremony of the museum, as we believe that his presence creates a dangerous symbolism, used to legitimise the current genocide in Gaza. We also believe there are plenty of incredibly accomplished Jewish people based in The Netherlands who could have been invited instead to preform such an official act. Can I bring my country’s national flag? Unless they are the Palestinian flag, we ask you not to. The Palestinian national flag is the only national flag allowed during this moment. What kind of slogans can I bring with me? Our main goal is to demonstrate intersectional solidarity so slogans such as “Ceasefire now” “From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free” “Never again is now!” "Never again for anyone!” “Stop the genocide” "End Dutch complicity” “Free Palestine” are welcome. Be creative! However, slogans that are deemed to be islamophobic or antisemitic dog whistles will be removed immediately. I am Jewish and I don't want to come alone. How can I find other Jewish people? As we hope to gather as many Jewish people as possible. there will be a Jewish block in front of the stage. Please come find us. We will be happy to welcome you in this act of resilience I am not Jewish or Palestinian. Can I still come? Absolutely! Allies are always welcome! Do you condemn anti-semitism? Yes! In fact we reject any tropes that imply that standing with the Palestinian people is in itself, antisemitic. As Jews, we are against any type of hate speech or symbolism that frames Jews as a monolith and plays on old tropes to create more hatred against us. This will not be tolerated and we reserve the ultimate right of removal of anything/anyone disrupting this moment. How will I know where to go? The location is on the Waterlooplein, in front of the Mozes en Aäronkerk. Our team of volunteers will be there to help guide people. Please make sure to respect their requests and advice. TOGETHER WE WILL HOLD THIS SPACE WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR EACHOTHER WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT 11:00 FREE PALESTINE!
