People take part at the commemoration of the Strike of February 1941 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on 25 February 2017. The strike is remembered each year on 25 February in Amsterdam. The general strike, which is known as February Strike, began on 25 February 1941 in response to anti-Jewish measures the German occupiers of the Netherlands. The February Strike was called by the then illegal Dutch Communist Party, and Amsterdam dockworkers went on strike in solidarity with the 425 Jews arrested by the Germans previously and deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. The February Strike is commemorated every year with a ceremony at the dockworker statue on Jonas Daniël Meyerplein, in the former Jewish quarter of Amsterdam. All political parties, as well as the city public transport authorities and organisations of Holocaust survivors, participate in the remembrance.
