NOVEMBER 25 • 2021 | 61
At the cemetery in the rural
Dutch town of Ysselsteyn,
the bodies of Nazi soldiers lie
alongside Dutch civilians and
troops.
To some, this makes the
Ysselsteyn a symbolic reminder
of the horrors of war, and com-
memorations are held annually
there. But others say the com-
memorations equate World War
II victims with perpetrators like
Julius Dettmann — the Nazi
officer responsible for sending
Anne Frank and her family to
death camps — who is buried at
Ysselsteyn. In the past, German
ambassadors to the Netherlands
have attended the ceremonies.
On Sunday, a Dutch chief
rabbi visited the site for the first
time, marking a turning point
in the public debate over the
cemetery. New plaques were
unveiled, acknowledging that it
is the burial place of war crim-
inals.
Dutch Chief Rabbi Binyomin
Jacobs, who has opposed the
commemorations at Ysselsteyn
for years, said in a speech there
that he had a “heavy feeling”
coming to where multiple sol-
diers for the Waffen SS elite
Nazi unit are buried.
“I almost feel like a traitor
because this cemetery also
contains horrific murderers
who are responsible for the fact
that 80% of my family did not
return,
” he said.
He decided to come because
of new steps taken by the Dutch
War Grave Foundation, a non-
profit responsible for maintain-
ing burial places of war victims
in the kingdom.
Jacobs said the steps taken at
Ysselsteyn were “comprehen-
sive, they did everything that
needed to be done, and that’s
important because not doing so
risked making Ysselsteyn a pil-
grimage site for neo-Nazis.
”
The plaques were the result of
talks between the Foundation,
Jacobs and representatives of
the Jewish community, many of
whom have long protested the
cemetery commemorations.
Jacobs’ speech received praise
from Arthur Graaf, a longtime
activist against the commem-
orations at Ysselsteyn, a town
located 70 miles southeast of
Amsterdam.
“The atrocities of the
Holocaust [are] no longer
hushed up there and the role
of many thousands of dead
perpetrators on Ysselsteyn is no
longer kept secret,
” Graaf wrote
in a statement to the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency.
In addition to the plaques
informing readers that some of
the graves are of SS soldiers, a
larger plaque in German was
unveiled there earlier this year.
It reads: “Never again! 102,000
Jews, tens of thousands of civil-
ians, people who resisted, Sinti
and Roma, prisoners of war and
slave laborers were victims of
war and Nazi violence in the
Netherlands. Most were not
allowed to have their own grave.
Many of them remain unknown
to you to this day. We mourn
their fate here.
”
‘No Longer Kept
Secret’
New plaques give context to Dutch
cemetery where Nazis are buried next to
WWII victims.
