De Dokwerker, War memorial at Jonas Daniel Meijerplein, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
De Dokwerker is a bronze sculpture at Jonas Daniel Meijerplein in Amsterdam depicting an upright dockworker. The work stands in a public square near the Jewish Museum and remains accessible year-round without entrance fees.
Sculptor Mari Andriessen created this memorial in 1952 to commemorate the February 1941 strike. That strike was an act of resistance against the deportation of Jews during Nazi occupation.
The sculpture shows a dockworker standing upright, embodying the spirit of resistance among harbor workers. Visitors gather here for commemorative events and experience how the place connects the community.
The memorial is easily reached in a public area and features wheelchair-accessible design. The site is open to visitors at all times of year and throughout the day.
Artist Mari Andriessen hid weapons in his studio during the war and helped persecuted Jews escape. This hidden role of the artist in resistance work often goes unnoticed by visitors.
