By 1940 the Germans had sealed off the Quarter with barbed wire; by 1945 almost eighty per cent of the ghetto's population had been wiped out. And by the end of the century the long-held notion that, by and large, half the Dutch population had some kind of link to the Resistance was coming under question. This, in a country falling under the shadow of Pim Fortuyn's party ...
