The Razzia of Rotterdam and Schiedam

Lecture and Theatre: Sunday 12 November 14.00 h.

The Rotterdam Razzia took place on November 11 and 12, 1944. DIG IT UP reflects on the memories of this drastic event. We do this through a conversation with Erik J. de Jager, who spent years researching the raid and recorded many stories. This will be followed by the theater performance ‘Houd Courage!’ by the theater company Het Lage Licht.

DIG IT UP heritage lab is the treasure hunter of Rotterdam’s urban culture. View the images found and read the stories from the city under our projects or visit us at Nieuwe Binnenweg 13b.

Journey through the Hinterland

The retrospective account of the “Journey through the Hinterland” starts with the razzia of Rotterdam in 1944 and takes us far afield from the surroundings of the Rotterdam harbors, from the period of ‘Wederopbouw’ (reconstruction) to the development of the European Union.
