BEFORE WORLD WAR II Amsterdam was a city remarkable for its spirit of cooperation between Jews and Gentiles. Remembering Jewish Amsterdam is a celebration of that spirit and of the lives of the Jews within that city. Philo Bregstein and Salvador Bloemgarten have composed an evocative mosaic of the memories of seventy~seven "narrators" who talk about their lives in Amsterdam between 1900 and 1940. This oral story is divided into sections that deal with the many facets of their lives ~ the trades and professions, the unions and clubs, the synagogues, the neighborhoods and living conditions, music and sports ~ to give a fascinating view of life in Amsterdam during those years. While the Holocaust, which claimed the lives of three quarters of Amsterdam's Jews, casts a shadow over the memories of the interviewees, these testimonies re~create the spirit of time and place to paint a vivid picture of a little~known past erased by war. Salvador Bloemgarten has added a historical overview of the Jewish community in Amsterdam from the seventeenth century until the German occupation in 1940, describing how for centuries it was one of the most prominent in Western Europe. "One of the book's most remarkable qualities is due to the great variety among the backgrounds of the narrators. Not only does one find pickle makers, market venders, and cigar makers, but also many an academic plus the occasional banker. The best represented are the diamond workers ~ an occupation that was so common among prewar Jews that it was referred to simply as 'the trade.' I read this book with fascination . Remembering does in fact offer a striking portrait of what Amsterdam meant to Jews and what Jews meant to Amsterdam." ~PETER VAN DER LINDEN, De Nieuwe Linie.
