Europe's Jews are living in fear, reveals SUE REID in a shocking dispatch from Amsterdam

Daily Mail : On a Sunday in March this year, Amsterdam's Jews went to the opening of Holland's first National Holocaust Museum. It was near a four-storey house on the Prinsengracht Canal where a young Anne Frank hid from the Nazis for two years before being sent to her death in an extermination camp.

The ceremony, attended by the Netherlands' King Willem-Alexander and Israel's President Isaac Herzog, commemorated 100,000 Jews who like Anne, were transported by train from the Dutch capital to the camps during the Second World War.

Disgracefully, however, the museum's opening was marred by pro-Palestinian protesters screaming abuse on the pavement outside. Women in hijabs shouted anti-Semitic slogans as Left-wing agitators waved posters supporting the terror group Hamas's invasion of Israel six months earlier, on October 7, 2023.

A heartbreaking picture and video on line shows Rudie Cortissos, one of the few Amsterdam Jews to survive the Holocaust, at the museum for the ceremony as his family and great granddaughter face the full wrath of the mob baying for their blood. 

'Jews were deeply hurt that the demonstration was allowed by the Amsterdam authorities that day,' Robert Oudkerk, a leading light in the city's Jewish community and a former social democrat MP, said this week.

'There were 400 people at the museum opening and we were all shocked by the protest in front of the little girl. Some of the guests inside began crying. The Jews are now frightened in Amsterdam.

'They are asking themselves: 'Where can we go now? We are not safe here or anywhere in western Europe.',' he added.

'There are some Dutch Muslims, a group of maybe 10,000 in this country, who are a danger to us. They want Sharia law not Western law.'
