I'm at Camp Westerbork. It was a Nazi transit camp in the province of Drenthe in the NE Netherlands. During #WW2 it was used as a staging location for sending Jews, Sinti and Roma to concentration camps elsewhere. The vast majority ended up in Auschwitz, including Anne Frank. - ThreadSky

I think the Dutch deported more Jews to Concentration camps than any other European country.

Really? That's a depressing stat. I'd have put money on Hungary but I haven't checked.

Horrible. But so important to remember.

Absolutely

I see that I have worded it incorrectly.
'Nowhere in Western Europe did the registration, isolation and deportation of Jews go as smoothly as in the Netherlands. As a result, the Netherlands set a record with 75 to 80 percent of Jews murdered - .../

Sorry, in my post above I said 'I see I have worded it incorrectly', but what I should have said was: 'what I said in my first post was not correct'...

nickfshortbskysoci.bsky.social•24 days ago

No problem. Thank you for your replies.

You'll have to translate it.

It is certainly true, as the article also says, that the Dutch participated eagerly in rounding up the Jews.

nickfshortbskysoci.bsky.social•24 days ago

Depressing thought.

Here is an article from the Anne Frank society which talks about this, but this is only for the Neterlands, Belgium and France.
I will look further to see if it is correct what I said

Liberated by the Canadians on April 12, 1945, saving hundreds of Jewish people. Tragically, of course, it was too late for Anne Frank.

God bless #Canada, eh?
