The February Strike is seen by many as the first public protest against Nazi occupation in Europe. It was a protest against the pogroms in Jewish neighborhoods of Amsterdam and promoted by the Dutch communist party, which had been made illegal by the German occupiers. 300,000 people took part in the demonstration, which was the only mass protest against the deportation of Jews in all of Europe. We’ll learn more about the strike and Jewish resistance to Nazi occupation on this walk together, led by Oy Vey member Mari.
When it’s over you can join the commemoration of the February Strike.
