In 1921, Abraham Tuschinski opened the Tuschinski theatre after two years of construction. The original clothing maker from Poland was on his way to the United States in 1904, but eventually stayed in Rotterdam, where he opened several cinemas. In 1916, together with his brothers-in-law Herman Gerschtanowitz and Hermann Ehrlich, he wanted to start something special in Amsterdam.
"Amsterdam has many theatres, but if I build one, it should far surpass all others. Grandiose as a temple and beautiful as a palace, a theatre that is unparalleled in Europe, and will make even the pampered Amsterdam audience puff with admiration." - Abraham Tuschinski
