Westerbork, in the north of Holland, was built in 1939 for the internment of German Jewish refugees, but with the Nazi occupation it became the central camp for Jews awaiting deportation to concentration camps (104,000 of Holland's 140,000 Jews passed through there).

The author was born in the camp in November 1943; the book's title is derived from the name of the main street which traversed Westerbork. Based on archival research, including diaries, especially by Philip Mechanicus and Etty Hillesum. Refers to a film on Westerbork, made on behalf of Gemmeker.
