Eighty years after World War II, the Netherlands is poised to open its first Holocaust museum, hoping to raise awareness at a time when the Gaza war has driven up anti-Semitism.

Striped Auschwitz uniforms, buttons taken from clothes stripped on arrival at the Sobibor death camp, poignant letters and photos: the museum displays 2,500 objects, many never seen before in public.
