Go figure

Shabbos afternoon we went to the Jewish Historical Museum, which lets you in for free on Shabbos if you're Shomer Shabbos. The museum has an extensive exhibit on the history of the Jews in Holland. It explains how the Dutch were relatively welcoming to the Jews who were fleeing the Spanish Inquisition and the pogroms for centuries, and even treated the Jews better than most other European countries in the 19th and 20th centuries--and then completely looked the other way when 80,000 Jews were deported and murdered by the Nazi's. Go figure.
