In the second episode of Remembering Together, Deputy Ambassador to the Netherlands Keith Allan visits Amsterdam to learn more about the history and impact of the holocaust in the Dutch capital. As well as the ways people and the community remember this dark chapter in history.
In this episode, Keith Allan speaks to Esther Shaya, author of two books documenting individual stories of resistance, who tells the story of Jewish educator Henriëtte Pimentel. She was a key figure that saved hundreds of children during the Nazi occupation. Keith also speaks to the Head of Coordination and Production of Stolpersteine Benelux, Alexander Stukenberg, about the history and importance of Stolpersteine as an act of remembrance.
