In the wake of the Dutch “profile in cowardice,” dare we remember the Dutch experience in World War II?

In 1939, there were approximately 150,000 Jews in Holland (1.5% of the total Dutch population). At least 20% of this number alone were asylum seekers from Germany.

By 1945, 3/4 of them were dead thanks, in large part, to the active, even eager, participation of Dutch authorities with their German occupiers.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
