Lost City
How Anne Frank and Amsterdam’s soul were deported
‘Lost City’ reveals: as late as 1947 the Amsterdam transit authority hired a debt collector because they never received payment from the Nazis for the deportation of Anne Frank. The news made shockwaves in the Dutch and international press, when the film premiered in The Netherlands, March 2024. ‘Lost City’ shows the untold story of the Amsterdam city tram that collaborated with the Nazis and deported tens of thousands of Jews, including Anne Frank. We experience their last tram ride. The film is a road movie with the original tram, passing the beautiful but guilty places where the drama unfolded. A survivor: “Everybody knew, everybody saw it, and nobody took action. People looked away”. ‘Lost City’ shows a new perspective on the murder of the Amsterdam Jews. The city lost its Jewish soul forever.
