Jewish tales of liberation in Amsterdam

At the free meetings, Jewish speakers will talk in-depth about their life before, during and after the Second World War, including the persecution they faced and their subsequent resistance and liberation. These stories will be accompanied by films, music, poems, photos and personal diary fragments. This year, the event is taking place across 37 unique locations.
