About this audio guide
This guide to the Groot Handelsgebouw in Rotterdam starts at a single concrete column in the lobby and goes back to the wholesalers who lost everything in the bombing of May nineteen forty. You'll meet Frits Pot, a merchant with a sketch made under occupation, and the architect Hugh Maaskant, who took it to Chicago and back. Listen standing inside one of the entrance lobbies, then step out onto the station square.
