Where Rotterdam City Hall now stands, one of the most notorious neighborhoods in the country used to be located. The Zandstraat and surrounding area were demolished more than a hundred years ago to make way for new construction, but still plays a role in the city in many ways. After all, it was the place where the foundation was laid for all kinds of modern forms of entertainment: from cinema and brown pub, to theater and tingel-tangel. The district is known as Rotterdam's first red light district, but the fact that these streets had a much richer range of residents has remained underexposed. For the first time, the Jewish life of the Zandstraat neighborhood is examined in all its diversity: from the shul to Louis Davids.
