Jewish leaders fear an outbreak of antisemitism on Saturday, May 4, when the Netherlands will observe two minutes of silence for those who died in World War Two, including over 100,000 Dutch Jewish people and more recent armed conflicts.
Kristallnacht commemorations will be happening throughout the Netherlands tonight, with the national commemoration happening in the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam. The organizers are feeling the impact of the war between Israel and Hamas, mainly in increased interest in the commemorations. But some have had to adjust their program, NOS reports.
