Mark Rutte, the Dutch Prime Minister on Sunday apologized for his country’s role during Holocaust and the lack of action against the persecution of Jews. The prime minister made the apology to the holocaust survivors at an event in Amsterdam to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp. Mark Rutte has become the first Dutch prime minister to make such an official apology. He stated that many people in government during the holocaust were just following the Germans orders, without realizing the consequences of their actions. About 102,000 of the six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust came from the Netherlands.
