These stories are told from different points of view: a deportee in the first razzia, a collaborationist, a cooperative police officer, … But some surprising characters will also be reviewed, such as the inventor of the typical Antwerp biscuit, the Antwerps Handje, and a child who hid out with another family for nearly the entire war. Also, the political background that made this atrocious drama possible is amply described.
