This is in a country where less than eighty years ago, Jews were identified, forced to wear yellow stars, and thus were easy to round up and deport to concentration camps. Out of 100,000 Dutch Jews, less than 25,000 survived, the highest percentage and total number of Holocaust murder victims in Occupied Western Europe. 

What did Dutch universities learn from his? Apparently nothing except how to hate Jews, and subject them to persecution, discrimination and degradation.

I wonder they ever heard of the great Spanish philosopher, George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” 

They ought to teach about the brave Rotterdam dockworkers who stood up to the Nazis and protested the deportations, or the Dutch Resistance. Instead, they choose to teach and practice the Nazism that killed so many Dutch citizens. 

I hope that universities and academic associations the world over will refuse to allow these schools to participate in their organizations or activities until this Nazi racism ends. 

But I’m not holding my breath.
