Pictures of the sites where Holocaust took place: then and today. The effect is shocking. Yes, incredible, it reminds me of walking in Amsterdam in streets, streetcorners and squares where the raids and attacks on jews took place, because in the past that place of Amsterdam was the jewish neighbourhood. Only the hebrew letters on a few of these buildings remind of the jewish past of these streets, houses and squares. |

The Nazi's started hunting and deporting the jews of Amsterdam and the Netherlands in 1941. The first Dutch jewish prisoners were deported to the terrible deathcamp Mauthausen. Within a few weeks all the Dutch jews (men and boys) were dead.  Amsterdam, Jonas Daniel Meijer square, 1941 Amsterdam, Jonas Daniel Meijer square, 1941 German jews who earlier feld Nazi-Germany are finaly caught by their former compatriots. (Dutch jews often disliked the German jews because the German jews kept their German mentality and arrogance.) But ofcourse there were kind, civilized and well mannered German Jews too (like Anne Franks family) Amsterdam, Jonas Daniel Meijer square, 1941 A terrible image of laughing Nazi's and a Dutch jew in mortal fear (Amsterdam, end 1941, during the first great raid in the Jewish neighbourhood near the Jonas Daniel Meijer square)  A jewish man is pushed by Nazi soldiers in Amsterdam.Like in Poland thousands of jews were hidden by non-jewish compatriots, Dutch Protestant,Catholic and secular (humanist, liberal) families.  |

Wonderful song and movie with the images of Marc Chagall, born as Movsja Zacharovitsj Sjagal (Russian: Мовша Захарович Шагал, Jiddisch: סג"ל of משהשאַגאַל) (Vitebsk, juli 7 1887 – Saint-Paul-de-Vence, March28 1985) the French painter with Jewish-Belarus roots. Also impressive and dramatic images of Warsaw in 1968. A completely differant situation than in Paris and Berlin in 1968. And ofcourse the images of the coup 'd etat of 1981 of the Communist Peoples army of general Jaruzelski.
