Logline:​

A lesbian Jewess in Nazi-Occupied Amsterdam breaks ranks to betray her community and save her own skin, only to sacrifice herself on the altar of an ultimate justice.

​

 

Synopsis:

This piece is about Ans van Dijk a Jewish, Lesbian Nazi Collaborator. It looks at the dichotomy between Ans as victim and as survival-led aggressor. It recounts what led her to betray her fellow Jews, even her own family and also to the betrayal of perhaps the most famous Jewish girl in Europe at that time.

 

We see her tortured early family life, her misguided marriage and her journey towards lesbianism. She was a creative, a business woman who in other circumstances could have lived out her life in relative obscurity.

As it is, she is known as the only female collaborator in the Netherlands who was executed for crimes against her people.
