The Shoah (1939–1945)
Last major roundup of Amsterdam
29 sept. 1943·Amsterdam
The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
The last Jews recorded in Amsterdam, including the Jewish council, are arrested; the city is declared empty of Jews.
The last great raid on Amsterdam completes what the previous ones had begun: the staff of the Jewish Council, the employees of still-tolerated institutions, the sick and the personnel of Jewish hospitals are taken away like all the others. The last exemption stamps are withdrawn the day before. After this day, the occupier declares the city empty of Jews; in reality, thousands of people remain hidden in neighbors' homes, on farms in the countryside, or behind false walls, some of whom will survive.
