Angels of Amsterdam: The Daring Rescue of 600 Children During WWII

When Dutch Jews were rounded up for deportation to concentration camps, in the Netherlands in 1942, a plan was hatched to sneak hundreds of Jewish children out of a Jewish daycare to safety with “foster families” in the countryside. From survivors’ stories to rescue workers’ heroic tales, this well-organized, subterfuge of a resistance movement is the hidden history of World War II heroes and heroines during the Holocaust.

What kind of people want to murder such beautiful innocent children?

Evil ones.

The Dutch were truly heroic. Bless their bravery & deep goodness risking their lives from the Nazis.

[@ingridwatsup9671]

No, as a Dutch person I can say that 75% of the 140.000 Dutch Jews did not survive. The highest number. THESE Dutch people shown here, rescuing babies, are heroes but not the mayority.

Johann van Hulst and Sieny Cohen and all the others were the bravest persons of their time. They did more than anyone else did. They could be proud of what they had done, there is no reason whatsoever to reproach themselves for not doing more.
