Summary Classical studies professor David Cohen accepts when his tycoon friend asks him to co-chair the 'Jewish Council' installed by the Beaufträgter (Nazi commissioner) for Amsterdam to represent the Hebrew community, hoping to smooth things and prevent incidents, for starters handing in all arms. However hard-handed raids continue, sending 400 arbitrary young Jews to Mauthausen -the meaning on concentration camp dawns slowly- as they get blamed for any unrest in the city. The community gets divided whether to cooperate to avoid worse, or attempt futile resistance, like the communist-inspired general strike. The SS Hauptsturmbannführer hold stem responsible, while dropping some gentleman attitude. Cohen's nurse daughter Virrie's close friend Emil Wertheim was arrested by NSB (Dutch armed collaborator militia) without pretext and died in the Austrian camp, convincing her mother Cornelia and fiancee, law student Piet Meerburg, to join the resistance.
