During the Hongerwinter of 1944–45, the German-occupied Netherlands was cut off from food supplies after a railway strike meant to support Allied efforts.
In retaliation, Nazi forces blocked shipments, plunging cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam into famine. Over 20,000 people died of starvation.
With no access to proper food, people resorted to eating tulip bulbs, sawdust bread, tree bark, and even pets or zoo animals. This iconic image of a boy holding a spoon captures that desperate hope.
