[ 1941: A barrel organ in the Jordaan in Amsterdam - old film footage
[
[ The Jordaan, a district in the city center of Amsterdam, was built
[ in the early 17th century to house working class and immigrants
[ seeking freedom who arrived from France, England, Spain, Portugal
[ and other countries. Amsterdam was known for its tolerance towards
[ other political and religious beliefs. Nazi Germany invaded the
[ Netherlands on 10 May 1940 and occupied the country until the German
[ surrender in May 1945. Ref. https://www.amsterdam.info/jordaan/

[ At time 2:37: "Grafsteenen van af f10 en hooger" --
[ "Tombstones from 10 guilders and higher."
