The direct causes were a series of arrests and pogroms held by the Germans in the Jewish neighbourhood of Amsterdam, the Jodenbuurt.

- February strike

Hilversum lies 24 km south-east of Amsterdam and 15 km north of Utrecht.

Though the Germans immediately took measures to suppress the strike, which had grown spontaneously as other workers followed the example of the tram drivers, it still spread to other areas, including Zaanstad, Kennemerland in the west, Bussum, Hilversum and Utrecht in the east and the south.

- February strike

On February 25 and 26, 1941, most of Hilversum's factories went on strike against the start of the Holocaust in the so-called February strike (Amsterdam Docker's Strike).

- Hilversum

In response, the Dutch Communist Party organized the February strike attended by 300,000 people to protest against the raids.

- Amsterdam

Though most studios are located in Hilversum and Aalsmeer, Amsterdam's influence on programming is very strong.
