Excerpt:
The Simon Wiesenthal centre has expressed his concern in a letter to Premier Mark Rutte on what it sees as the government's lax attitude to anti-Semitism. This was prompted by the situation in Arnhem, where a man who rejected the glorification of the Holocaust had to go into hiding due to threats from Turks.
On the TV programme Onbevoegd Gezag broadcast on 24 February, a number of Turkish youths said that they found the murder of millions of Jews in the Second World War good. "I am pleased with what Hitler did with the Jews," said one youth. "As far as I am concerned, he could have killed them all off."
A homework supervisor of the boys, Mehmet Sahin, termed the statements unacceptable. After the broadcast, he had to go into hiding due to death threats from the Islamic community.
