Victims and Survivors: The Nazi Persecution of the Jews in the Netherlands 1940-1945

How was it possible, in a country like the Netherlands--a nation so proud of its traditions of liberalism and tolerance--that such a large proportion of Jewish citizens could fall victim to Nazi genocide, especially when Jews in France and Belgium fared markedly better? Bob Moore's comprehensive study, the first of its kind to appear in English in nearly 30 years, examines all the central elements of this question. Moore explores in detail the nature of the Nazi persecutors, their victims, and the specific circumstances of the German occupation of the Netherlands.
