Audio tour · De Dokwerker

1:38

You're standing on the Jonas Daniël Meijerplein in Amsterdam, at the Dockworker. Look at the man in bronze. Not a hero on horseback, not a general. Just an ordinary working man, heavily built. He stands here in memory of the February Strike of 1941, when people in Amsterdam walked off the job in protest against the persecution of the Jews.
