The Wertheimpark is the oldest park in Amsterdam. It was donated to the city by Napoleon in 1812 (at the city's expense). Two white marble sphinxes with lanterns mark the entrance. The park was named after the Jewish benefactor Abraham Wertheim. After the war, the park's name was changed from Parktuin to its current name. A fountain with a plaque bearing Wertheim's portrait commemorates the benefactor.
As early as 1682, it was decided to designate the Plantage, as this neighborhood is called, as a green area. Due to the war of 1672 and a plague outbreak, the demand for housing had decreased. That is why you find so much green here (Artis, the Hortus, and this park).
Walk through the entrance to the right to the monument Broken Mirrors by Jan Wolkers. The National Holocaust Memorial takes place here annually. "Never again Auschwitz" is inscribed on the monument.
