@rolandoscar1696 Percentagewise yes. The integration of jews was why the Germans send the fanatic SS instead of the Wehrmacht. But the Dutch weren't prepared as they expected to remain neutral, and the excellent civic records and ID's made finding jews easy. It took the resistance very long before effectively attacking those, in some places only. The jews themselves were also passive because of a false sense of security, collaborating even in hope of favours and postponement. Most lived in the big cities, and Anne Frank's hiding place was a rarity, so they had to be moved to the country side to go in hiding there. No mountains or huge forests either. It's not for lack of effort, the Dutch have by far the most hero's per capita when it comes to saving jews too, according to Yad Vashem.

@rolandoscar1696 I don't know about that but it has shown us the effect of Goebbelsian repitition propaganda and herd mentality.
