Citing threats of violence by Dutch Jews, a local Holocaust museum
cancelled an event devoted to raising awareness of the plight of Syrian
refugees.
The director of the Memorial Center Camp Westerbork, Dirk Mulder,
announced Monday the cancellation of the event titled “Night of the
Refugee” which was slated for his museum in June. Jewish groups and
activists protested the planned event as inappropriate in that it draws
parallels between the systemic genocide against the Jews and the
situation facing some immigrants today.
