Finally, mistake admitted by Dutch

The Dutch government has admitted its failure to protect the Jewish community during the Nazi invasion of the country.

This is the first time the government has admitted the mistake they committed by the country during the period of the Second World War.

The government has also apologised to the community in connection with this matter.

More than 75 per cent of the total population of the community prior to the Holocaust were brutally murdered during the period of the Nazi invasion.

At the time of invasion, the Jewish population of the country was around 1,40,000. It was reduced to less than 40,000 by the invasion.

The apology was a long standing demand of the Jewish community. It is felt as if the community has been served justice finally.

The period of the Second World War was a period of terror. At that time, the Nazi Germany was in an aggressive mode. It occupied several of its neighbouring countries. The suppression of the Jewish community was one of their main political agenda. They used concentration camps for the actualisation of their main political agenda. During this period, more than six million Jews were brutally murdered.
