At the heart of our narrative is Rodi Glass. Her Amsterdam of 1936, bathed in familial love and dreams, was soon obscured by the chilling shadow of World War II. From the foreboding march of German boots echoing through Amsterdam’s streets to the grim confines of concentration camps, Rodi’s chronicle shines a light on the resilience inherent in the human spirit. Her evocative tesimony laid the foundation for “Walk to Westerbork”, embedding it with raw emotion.
