My feeling is that if all Catholics or Reformed Christians had been deported to Germany, the Dutch government in London would have instructed the population in the occupied Netherlands to help them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we don't take effective measures now, the Netherlands could be torn between two extreme rights.
There are many nice, peaceful Muslims, but the Netherlands is far too tolerant regarding the statements of the radical wing of Islam.
My first experience in the Netherlands was very pleasant, extremely pleasant. I mean, I got my residence permit, refugee status, within four weeks of arrival. People treated me extremely well.
When I was in Paris, all of the German refugees began to flow in and it was a very sad time.
Thus again the Netherlands, for the first time since the fall of Rome, were united under one crown imperial. They had already been once united, in their slavery to Rome.
The history of the Franks becomes, therefore, the history of the Netherlands.
The Dutch are a very practical people.
Germany's fate is decided first and foremost in Europe. Reconciliation and cooperation in Europe have brought us freedom, peace and prosperity. Who would have dared to believe so much 50 years ago?
Bulgaria was the only Axis country to deflect insistent German demands for the deportation of its Jews.
I would be heartbroken if I ever thought that people in the Jewish community thought that Britain was no longer a safe place for them.
