It covers both the internal evolution of the Jewish community and its social, cultural, and economic interaction with the wider population.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFrom the first Jewish settlements in the medieval duchies of Gelderland, Brabant, and Limburg to the Jewish community of today, the interaction between Dutch Jews and Dutch Christians has mostly been one of fruitful collaboration which only the period of German occupation from 1940 to 1945 was seriously able to disrupt. The contribution that Dutch Jews have made, and continue to make, to cultural life, to the economy, and to science is recognized as being of central importance to the Netherlands as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe ten eminent scholars contributing to this book each describe Jewish life in a particular period, from the Middle Ages to the present. In doing so they consider the strains caused within the Jewish community by the effort to play a full part in Dutch society while maintaining Jewish culture, setting the discussion in the context of trends and tensions within Dutch society in the period in question. The circumstances of the Jews under German occupation and in the immediate post-war period are also discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe History of the Jews in the Netherlands\u003c\/i\u003e is a definitive, indispensable work for the study of both European Jewish and Dutch history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTRIBUTORS J.
