Description
Summary:About 25 percent of approximately 320,000 Jews in France did not survive the Holocaust, whereas 75 percent of the 140,000 in the Netherlands perished. To what extent can these differences be explained by a comparison of anti-Jewish policy and the conduct of the deportations in the two countries? The present contribution compares the establishment of occupation regimes and their subsequent anti-Jewish policies, devoting special attention to competency disputes; the authors then compare the countries’ arrangements for the deportations, focusing on the relative availability of transport, the size of the available police forces, and the latitude of action of the German agencies involved.
