Jewish Netherlands:The Jewish presence in the Netherlands (Holland & Belgium) began, and nearly ended, in tragedy: The first Jews came with the Roman conquest then again after being expelled from Spain, and the huge community was decimated 350 years later by the Holocaust. In between, Dutch Jews contributed to one of the most prosperous and enlightened eras in the history of the Netherlands. The history of Jews in the Netherlands was different than their experience in any other country, while in general, European Jews isolated themselves economically and socially as well as politically, the Jews of the Netherlands enjoyed, as early as the seventeenth century, economic and social integration that the rest of European Jewry would not know for hundreds of years. During the Holocaust there was a concerted effort by Jewish leaders to preserve Dutch Judaism, which was still decimated by deportations. Today, the Jewish community of the Netherlands numbers at approximately 30,000.
