Plot summary
Rusha writes to her brother Max from Amsterdam, where she and her family share a home in the Jewish quarter. Her letters describe the city around her, and archival footage fills in the community: diamond cutters at their work, traders bargaining at the flea market, cabaret artists whose songs the audience joins in, officials such as De Miranda who campaign for social housing, and the entrepreneurs behind De Bijenkorf, the Amstel Hotel and cinema Tuschinski. One resident in ten is Jewish, and the years right after World War I are full of optimism about what lies ahead. That confidence is worn away by an economic depression and the rise of fascism.
