THE HAGUE (JTA) — The City of Amsterdam fined hundreds of Jewish Holocaust survivors for failing to pay taxes while they were in hiding or in concentration camps.
The affair was exposed in an article in Het Parool, a local daily, on March 30. Many of the houses in question were confiscated and used by members of the NSB Dutch Nazi party while the Jewish owners were in hiding or in camps.
The city went after survivors as late as 1947, the report said. Other Dutch municipalities waived such debts, Het Parool reported. The following year the city agreed to reimburse half of what it charged to some Jews who were taxed in absentia. The city’s archives contain 342 requests for reimbursement, Het Parool reported.
The documents about this taxation were discovered by Charlotte van den Berg, a 23-year-old university student. She said she found them bundled with an elastic band in the archive section of one of the city’s departments while conducting research on Jewish home owners.

Anti-semitism alive and well in many countries — and so is anti-christianity.
I dare say that the apparatchniki in our respective Totalitarian Governments are just itching to bill our relatives for the hollow-point bullets used to judicially execute us.
Taxing us for the time we spent in the cattle-car on the way to our deaths will just be another piece of their hellish wit.
Another fun fact. The raid on the apartment was conducted by a Nazi police officer from Austria, accompanied by 3 Dutch officers.
With a single magazine and a Glock, there is a =very- reasonable chance that you with an initial show of compliance, the Frank’s could have killed all four, and simply walked away.
Maybe you escape, maybe not.
Anne Franks family needed an AK47. Thats a fact.
Funny how it always seemed that the worst Nazi Jew haters always seemed to come from Austria.
Every group under Nazi subjugation had its collaborators and sell-outs. Even in the ghettos, the Nazis found Jews willing to serve in the “Jewish police” forces or on the “Jewish councils.”
Indeed. Even Hitler Himself. You know the old joke about the best accomplishment the Austrians ever pulled was convincing the world Hitler was a German, and that Beethoven was an Austrian.
Before Hitler, Germany probably would have been considered one of the least anti-semitic countries in Europe.
But in the interest of good taste we shall call me "Kapos"
OH, well then there were transportation costs as well, that are taxable. The gall of these sub-humans to do this.
You had strong Poland to the east!
Poland wisely stayed out of the Thirty Years War, but the Poles did their share of fighting with the Russians, Swedes and Turks.
Let us not forget the Battle of Vienna and the Charge of Winged Hussars.
And the 1920 “Miracle on the Vistula.”
When WW1 ended, it didn't bring an end to the War in the East.
I suspect George Soros (the Jewish Nazi) wouldn’t have a problem with this.
“I think we have reached the saturation point with all of this. It’s 2013, not 1943.”
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it and the parallels between 2013 America are amazing when considering the years leading up to 1943.
If you want to live like 1943 Germany, then ignore 1943 Germany.

“Never ever forget. Maybe if it happened to you or your relatives you might have a different outlook but I doubt it.”
It will happen to many here in the US unless we have some divine intervention that saves us. The parallels between the years that lead to 1943 are strikingly similar to 2009-2013 America. It is not an exageration either.
Ask yourself what you get when you follow these steps.
1. Demonize the productive class
2. Devalue life of a “non-human class”
3. Commoditize health care
4. Create wide swaths of division in your citizenry
5. Create policies that increase the cost of business, then demonize businesses for passing those increases to the customer, therefore angering the masses
6. Disarm a citizenry
Those steps directly resulted in the holocaust and it was not limited to Jews. Sadly, the Jewish community suffered in the greatest numbers, but it included any class of people that could be demonized as harmful to the collective.
Remember, Hitler was elected in a free election. He was only in office about 12 years before he performed the cowardly act of suicide. Imagine what he could have done with a much larger centralized federal government that already had a 96 year foundation of progressive indoctrination.
I do not say this lightly and I am not invoking some “internet nazi rule.”
“Yep, American Communists were Protesting the War until Hitler invaded Russia and they Changed their signs on the spot!!”
For the longest time I tried very hard to figure out why Hitler hated the USSR with such a strong hatred and why the USSR joined the allies. I just could not wrap my mind around why tyrannies would be at war with each other instead of joining forces to defeat liberty.
Then I realized I was wasting valuable resources that I need today to fight the tyrants in my era and I gave up on the thought exercise.
Well so far we have guns that the Jews didn’t. But then, they didn’t believe a country as intelligent to have produced so many intellectuals would or could do such a thing. They were hoodwinked. We won’t be.
