Between July 1942 and September 1943, 63,000 out of 77,000 Jews were deported from Amsterdam. 58,000 of them were murdered. Many Dutch citizens assisted the Nazis in this operation: police officers, officials, and tram operators who transported tens of thousands of Jews to train stations on their way to extermination camps.
