Description:
As a percentage, Dutch Jews probably perished at a higher rate than any other West European country. Prior to WWII, the community consisted of about 150,000 persons, including Jews who had fled there, primarily from Germany. 110,000 Jews were deported. About 5,000 returned, though a larger number survived in hiding either in the Netherlands or in other countries.
A substantial percentage of these registrants were born outside the Netherlands, primarily Germany, and there are significant numbers of persons born in Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin and other places, as well as smaller numbers from Austria, Poland and elsewhere.
A useful history of the Dutch Jewish community prior to, during and after the German occupation is provided in Dienke Hondius' Return: Holocaust Survivors and Dutch Anti-Semitism, (Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 2003).
This collection includes a number of lists obtained from the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam. The lists include survivors documented after the war in various locations. Survivors include those identified as Dutch along with others, mostly German Jews, who may have immigrated to the Netherlands after the war.
