1. Goodbye Holland: The Destruction of Dutch Jewry
2. The Ambiguity of Virtue: Gertrude van Tijn and the Fate of the Dutch Jews
Description
In May 1941, Gertrude van Tijn arrived in Lisbon on a mission of mercy from Germanoccupied Amsterdam. She came with Nazi approval to the capital of neutral Portugal to negotiate the departure from Hitler's Europe of thousands of German and Dutch Jews. Was this middleaged Jewish woman, burdened with such a terrible responsibility, merely a pawn of the Nazis, or was her journey a genuine opportunity to save large numbers of Jews from the gas chambers? In such impossible circumstances, what is just action, and what is complicity?
A moving account of courage and of all-too-human failings in the face of extraordinary moral challenges, The Ambiguity of Virtue tells the story of Van Tijn's work on behalf of her fellow Jews as the avenues that might save them were closed off. Between 1933 and 1940 Van Tijn helped organize Jewish emigration from Germany. After the Germans occupied Holland, she worked for the Naziappointed Jewish Council in Amsterdam and enabled many Jews to escape. Some later called her a heroine for the choices she made; others denounced her as a collaborator.
Bernard Wasserstein's haunting narrative draws readers into the twilight world of wartime Europe, to expose the wrenching dilemmas that confronted Jews under Nazi occupation. Gertrude van Tijn's experience raises crucial questions about German policy toward the Jews, about the role of the Jewish Council, and about Dutch, American, and British responses to the persecution and mass murder of Jews on an unimaginable scale.

Publisher E.P. Dutton & Co. (January 1, 1969) ASIN B000LD8D7S4. Diamonds and Coral: Anglo-Dutch Jews and Eighteenth-Century Trade
Description
These studies attempt to answer a number of basic questions concerning the nature of the business activity of the Anglo- Jewish 'patriciate' and the economic foundations on which it stood. It is impossible to measure the Jews' role in statistical terms. Only in regard to the Anglo-Indian diamond trade do we have sufficient numerical data to enable us to draw accurate conclusions about the Jews' part in that branch of commerce. For all other fields of business activity we must be content with evidence of a different kind, but although the latter will never have the same degree of accuracy inherent in comprehensive and reliable statistical information, it may still carry much weight. The most striking aspect of Jewish business activity is the degree of its specialization. At first sight this specialization may seem to bear a geographical character - Jews traded mainly to the Iberian peninsula and its colonies, to India, Holland and Leghorn. But a close examination will show that Jews, on the whole, tended to concentrate in certain branches which determined the geographical limits of their activities, and not vice- versa. They were most prominent in the precious metals, diamonds and exchange trades - all very much in accord with Jewish commercial tradition, though they also played a significant part in other fields: in the supply of manufactured goods to the Spanish colonies in America, in the trade in the agricultural products of the Spanish and Portuguese colonies - mainly dye-stuffs, but also coffee, sugar etc. - and in the distribution of Indian goods in Europe. A distinction must be made between Jewish activities in the Latin-American and in the Indian trades. The difference concerns not only the sort of goods dealt in, but also the merchants themselves : the Jewish businessmen who invested in Latin-American trade mostly belonged to the Portuguese community, while Indian goods were distributed mainly by Ashkenazim, resident in England, Holland and Germany.5.
