Historian Bart Wallet has found in
the archives of the Dutch Jewish community (NIK) that in 1951, Jewish children
were not permitted to attend classes where two of the then-Queen Juliana’s
daughters went to school. The Jewish
community at the time checked the matter.
It turned out that the initiative wasn’t taken by the Queen, but by the school
principal. The Queen knew about it, however,
and did not react. Wallet explained that
the Dutch environment after the war was so unpleasant and problematic for the
Jewish community that its leaders decided not to go public with the scandal.
