★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Es un monumento en plena calle situada delante de la sinagoga portuguesa. Parece un baserritar vasco.
 It is a monument in the middle of the street located in front of the Portuguese synagogue. It looks like a Basque baserritar.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Once you know the story, it is very moving. But the sentiment in the strike was ultimately broken by the NAZIs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 'De Dokwerker' monument on the Jonas Daniël Meijerplein in Amsterdam commemorates the Strike of February 1941. It was a general strike during World War II, organized by the then outlawed Communist Party of the Netherlands in defense of persecuted Dutch Jews and against the anti-Jewish measures and activities of the Nazis in general.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ During the February strike in 1941, Dutch workers protested against the arrest of Jews. The Dock Worker Monument, which is located in the old Jewish quarter, commemorates this event.
Only one of the 427 arrested and deported Jewish men survived the concentration camp.
The first commemorative ceremonies in honour of the February strike took place in 1946. On December 19, 1952, the Dock Worker Monument by artist Mari Andriessen was unveiled. It is located on Jonas Daniël Meijerplein, the square on which the German order police rounded up the arrested Jews in February 1941. The statue depicts a simple dock worker as a symbol of the indignation and resistance of the Dutch population in the face of the persecution of Jews. A remembrance ceremony is held annually on February 25.
