Jeugdsjoel: The Movie

💚 COME WATCH OUR STORY, AND TELL EVERYONE!! 💚 snacks and drinks provided
⁡⁡⁡⁡
Produced by two students of Minerva Art Academy, ⁡The Jeugdsjoel (2026) is a documentary exploring the situation of one of the last remaining buildings of Groningen’s Jewish quarter⁡, that was saved from demolition by a group of squatters in 2023. Originally built as a youth synagogue, it is the last of its kind in the Netherlands. Over the last years it has become an important publicly accessible cultural hub and a community center for queer people, women, people of color and other minorities, sustained entirely on grassroots efforts, but now the municipality wants to evict it to use it for a temporary training center for civil servants and enforcement officers. Residents and pe⁡ople in the neighborhood get to tell their view on the matter. ⁡
