A Forgotten Image
‘The Persecution of Jews in Photos, The Netherlands 1940-1945’, compiled by the NIOD in collaboration with the Jewish Cultural Quarter. This exhibition offers an in-depth look at a dark period in Dutch history, filled with poignant images and stories.
This exhibition reveals the full story: from isolation to destruction, captured in a rich collection of photos, many of which have never been shown before. The images, taken by both professional photographers and brave amateurs, document the harrowing reality of raids, the introduction of the Jewish star, hiding activities, and the roles of perpetrators and bystanders.
An In-Depth Investigation
Historians Erik Somers and René Kok searched through dozens of archives, both in the Netherlands and abroad, for this exhibition and the accompanying book. Their work reveals the complexity and impact of the anti-Jewish measures in the Netherlands during World War II.
The exhibited photos not only show the cruelty of the German occupation, but also highlight the aid given to those in hiding, the daily life of Jews during that time, and the aftermath of the war with the return of the few survivors from the camps.
