The opening of the Holocaust museum in Amsterdam was marked by fireworks and egg-throwing.

Protests erupted in Amsterdam as the Israeli president paid a visit to the newly opened National Holocaust Museum.

Thousands of demonstrators were heard yelling “never again is now” and “ceasefire now” in Waterloo Square in central Amsterdam, near the museum, which conducted an inaugural ceremony on Sunday and welcomed guests such as Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Dutch King Willem Alexander.

They also carried Palestinian flags and posters reading “Jews Against Genocide” and “The Grandchild of a Holocaust Survivor Says: Stop Gaza Holocaust”.
