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.
