Description
A history of Jews in the Netherlands from the Middle Ages to the post-World War II period. The authors consider populations that described themselves or were described by their non -Jewish neighbors as Jewish, rather than relying on narrower criteria of denominational or religious history, describing also political, social, and economic aspects. The overarching concern of the authors is the relation of the Jewish population to the general population; hence discussions of assimilation, acculturation, and integration run throughout the chapters. Translated from the Dutch work Geschiedenis van de Joden in Nederland
