Very sad. One of our children and their family live in Amsterdam. They live in the neighborhood where the Frank family lived (before they went into hiding) and where the Anne Frank house is. Everywhere on the sidewalks are brass plaques embedded in the concrete with the names of the Jewish people who once lived in those particular buildings and perished in the death camps. It’s a constant reminder of what happened. I first visited in 2022. Close to my grandchildren’s school is a synagogue. Every Friday and Saturday, there would be armed police guarding it. I was glad it was being guarded, but found it very unsettling that such protected was deemed necessary. And now, from the above article: “...Just last month, Dutch police officers indicated they would not be comfortable guarding Jewish institutions over their ‘moral objections”’ to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza....”
The footage from last night was disturbing. Thank goodness Geert Wilders recently gained so much support and infuence in the House of Representatives.
