I am just at the point in my research on Kurt Gerron where I’m chronicling how he was at first lauded when he escaped from the Nazis to Holland, and he created at least one film basic to Dutch culture but then was ostracized and given up together with all the Dutch Jews to the camps, t0 Westerbrook, to Thereisenstadt and finally to Auschwitz.  And last night was no different.  The jovial local population felt unable to defend the visitors to their land as they were chased and beaten. Even the police stood by as the the soccers fans from Israel were thrown into the canals.
