Maybe some Dutch....but don’t lump them all in there. My sister’s father-in-law narrowly escaped death because he refused to do what the Nazi’s asked of him and so he was imprisoned. He was marched naked in the streets and was scheduled to be sent to a labor camp until a friend risked his own life and moved the index card with the father-in-law’s name on it from one stack of cards of people to be shipped away to different stack of names.

A German family for a time hid the father in law and his wife from the Nazis.

It’s hard to think of a nicer more gentle soul that Villim....may he rest in peace.

Didn’t say all. But the Dutch were among the most accepting of the Nazi arrival. Same for the French. Take for example, the Anne Frank raid. It was Dutch collaborators who turned them in. And the raid itself was conducted by an Austrian Nazi cop, leading several Dutch cops.
