Documentary on deportation of 48,000 Jewish Amsterdammers during Holocaust prompts city to act
Two weeks after the release of a documentary by the Emmy award-winning film director Willy Lindwer, showing the complicity of the city’s transport service, Amsterdam has announced it will mark the network’s role in the Holocaust with memorial boards at key stations.
Line 8 was scrapped after the second world war, but until now there has been no official apology to a Jewish population that once numbered 80,000. According to the documentary, records show the municipal transport company hired a debt collector because it “never received payment for the deportation by tram ofand her family”. . Documents from the Amsterdam archives reveal that the GVB tram company sent detailed bills to the Zentralstelle für jüdische Auswanderung Auswanderung, which organised the deportation of Jewish people, but it is unclear who it was pursuing after the war.
