Amsterdam - J. D. Meijerplein

Just south of Visserplein is J. D. Meijerplein, named after Jonas Daniel Mijer (1780-1834), a leader of the High German Jewish community in Amsterdam. In the center of the square can be seen a statue, De Dokwerker ("The Dock Worker"), commemorating the strike by the workers of Amsterdam in February 1941 in protest at the anti-Jewish measures of the German occupyiong forces.
