Most citizens of any nationality don't care to look in the mirror to find their real history. That's the point of this WWII Mythbusting Tour of Russia/America, the UK, the Channel Islands, Italy and the Netherlands. This is the full article on NL: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/wwii-mythology-tour-the-netherlands-1da9113ab649 .

My Dutch sister in law's mother's family of 8 children in Maastricht, which hid a Jewish family for 22 months, will always be the exception. That's why there's a tree in Yad Vashem with their name on it (Eelkje and Jacobus Rijnbout https://www.trouw.nl/nieuws/yad-vashem-in-limburg~b5931f58/?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F).

Dank u wel. Many thanks for reading.
