Title of Article: Survival and Resistance

Author: Linda M. Woolf, PH.D. #7

Direct Quotation: Linda M. states in Survival and Resistance that By the time of the wars end, the Nazis
had deported 107,000 Jews out of Holland. Of these, only 5000 survived to return home following the war
and 30,000 managed to survive in hiding or by other means.

Paraphrase: The Netherlands was a densely populated country in 1940. The land mass is about one and a
half time the size of Massachusetts.

Summary: In the article Survival and Resistance, author Linda M. states that Hitler and his associates did not want to alienate
the Dutch people-a people they considered to be ofsuperior Germanic breeding. As as result of the Dutch religious stratification,
the Dutch people could be certified as almost 100 percent Aryan. Hitlers ultimate goal was to make the Netherlands a part of
Germany following part of Germany following the war. Through annexation of the Netherlands, Hitler hoped to further infuse the
new Reich with the Aryan ideal. With this goal in mind, the transition to Nazi rule in the Netherlands was less abrupt and dramatic.
While the Dutch had heard of the atrocities against Jews from Vienna and other cities following Nazi invasion-Jews forced to get
down on their hands and knees to scrub the streets, synagogues burned to the ground, the rounding up of jews into ghettos, and
worse-none of this happened upon implementation of German civil administration.
