Atlas of an Occupied City: Amsterdam 1940-1945 Everywhere in Amsterdam there are visible and invisible traces of the war. Where were people in hiding? Where was the NSB headquarters? Where were Het Parool and Vrij Nederland stencilled and where were the food stamps distributed? In which street was an attack committed and which house was set on fire as a reprisal?
In this beautifully illustrated book, Bianca Stigter guides the reader through occupied Amsterdam. She tells what happened on street corners and behind front doors during the war, allowing the reader to look at the city with different eyes. Atlas of an Occupied City is an impressive monument to war victims and resistance fighters, and a time machine made of paper.
With a foreword by Job Cohen.
Now the basis for the 2023 documentary film 'Occupied City', directed and produced by Steve McQueen.
