Abstract:
At the time of the German invasion of the Netherlands there were about 140,000 Jewish inhabitants (25,000 of them refugees). Dutch officials in the Nazi administration promised in 1941 to protect Dutch Jews, but they did not intervene with the mass deportations in 1942. Young Dutch Nazis were active in hunting down Jews in return for money. One of these groups, the Kolonne Henneicke, handed over about 3,400 Jews in 1943. In addition, many individuals denounced Jews, and the Dutch police collaborated in the arrests and deportations. However, the majority of the Dutch population rejected antisemitism; some of them protested or extended aid to the persecuted Jews, and the Amsterdam population held a general strike of solidarity in 1941. The Churches protested in 1942 against the deportations of Dutch Jews; in retaliation, Seyss-Inquart ordered the deportation of 110 converted Catholic Jews.
