21.622

remarkable campaign/idea from local amsterdam newspaper ‘het parool’, a single sheet poster listing all of the houses where jews lived in amsterdam during the war and from where they were deported to concentration camps, the idea is that readers who discover that their house is on the list, should hang the poster up, it reads: ‘one of the 21.622 houses where jews lived that were deported and murdered during the second world war’ a sort of analogue geo-tagging history project and awareness campaign in one… very nice idea
