00:16If you look at the logistics, it's incomprehensible what happened.
00:25We arrived at Daniel Wierinkplein.
00:28There were all those trams.
00:30We were all pushed in.
00:34I had the impression that I was a criminal...
00:37...who was busy feeding the slaughterhouse.
00:40Fear. Pure fear.
00:43I was afraid.
00:46And there were people with binoculars watching...
00:49...how the Jews were taken away.
00:52As a photo, all those people are in my head.
00:59I can imagine how we were chased out of Amsterdam.
01:04I have a pile of bills with me...
01:07...which I found in the archives.

01:23This is the last route.
01:25They probably still have a glimpse...
01:27...of the slaughterhouse on the Prinsengracht.
01:32Do you realize that we are now in the tram...
01:34...that Anne Frank opened from the prison to the central station?
01:38And for which the GVB sent a bill to the Nazi occupier.
01:43And not just the Frank family, but thousands and thousands of people.
01:49The Jewish life in this farm was over.
01:52It never came back.
