Dutch government: discriminating against the survivors through a so-called egalitarian approach

Of 140,000 Jews living in the Netherlands before World War II, an estimated 105,000 were killed by the Nazis. During the war, the Dutch Government in Exile based in London was indifferent to the Jews' fate. The postwar Dutch government dragged its feet on the reparations issue, actually favouring non-Jewish Nazi collaborators over Jews. It also dodged responsibility for Dutch Jews' wartime fate, using Anne Frank as a "figleaf" to cover its inhumanity.
