From no other country in Western Europe were so many Jews deported during the years 1940-1945 as from the Netherlands. How could this have happened? Why did the Dutch authorities and the members of the Jewish Council co-operate so neatly with this terrible project, and how did the German occupier manage to persuade the Dutch authorities and the Dutch Jews to do so?

In the five-part drama series, De Joodse Raad the unimaginable dilemmas that the German ruler presents the Jewish community are portrayed.
