  In naam van Rotterdam
"We live in the future, in name of the past"

The story of the city of Rotterdam is one of destruction and of resurrection. Since it's post-war years, Rotterdam has proven itself effective in dealing with new architecture, new population and new economies. In this short video portrait, GERS! magazine commemorates the bombing of Rotterdam in 1940 in order to remember the fallen but most of all celebrate the city's resilience afterwards and it's determination in rebuilding it into a modern metropolis (please note that the video is in Dutch!).
See you soon in Rotterdam! :)
