13) NETHERLANDS & HOLOCAUST

Netherlands was once considered as the safest haven for European Jews, yet Holocaust was more devastating for the Dutch Jews. Out of the 140,000 Jews who lived in Netherlands in 1940, about 102,000 died in the Holocaust. I will be discussing bout the Jewish sites and monuments of Amsterdam in the blog.

The famous Anne Frank House, Amsterdam. An estimated 75,000 Jews lived in Amsterdam before the Nazi occupation. After the war, hardly any Jews were living in Amsterdam.
