The Town Council of Amsterdam today approved a proposal to convert the former Jewish Theater in the center of this city into a chapel with an eternal light burning in memory of the Jews murdered by the Nazis. During the German occupation the theater was used as a marshalling point for Jews to be deported from Holland to extermination camps.
