Jewish Resistance in Amsterdam

5/5 Reflection on Stop 6

During this IWalk you have made two comparisons: that of the Dockworker and the Jewish Resistance Monument, and that of the bridges named after Walter Süskind and Henriëtte Pimentel. Consider the questions below:


  • Why are stories of Dutch, non-Jewish resistance better known than stories of Jewish resistance?
  • What do you think, why has Walter Süskind’s memory been honored for some time, but not that of Henriëtte Pimentel?
  • Why could it be that we remember one group’s stories better than those of other groups?
