Sephardic Jews in The Netherlands - Holocaust

Holocaust

On the eve of the Holocaust, there were approximately 4,300 Sephardic Jews living in the Netherlands, on a total Jewish population of some 140,000 (3%). After the war, the community had declined to some 800 people, one-fifth of the pre-war population. The Holocaust meant the end of the Sephardic community in The Hague; it was abolished immediately after the war because most of the community members had perished in the Nazi concentration camps.
