In the public discourse dominating the Netherlands after 1945, anti-Semitism and racism – two of the basic elements of (“classical”) right-wing extremism – have tended to be seen as uncharacteristic of Dutch society.1According to many experts, this is attributed to Dutch experiences in the Second World War, as the Netherlands saw the largest percentage of national Jewish populations in Europe killed, after Poland. A guilt complex related to Dutch behaviour during the War has led to what is often called “the basic consensus” on what is “bad” and “good” in Dutch society.
With the Racism & Extremism seeks various forms of racism, extremism and anti-Semitism - and reactions to these phenomena - to
monitor and issue periodic reports. First we will look at the phenomena: how do racism, extremism and anti-Semitism in the Dutch society. One could look at the expression, such as politically organized racism, and to the exclusion form, eg catering discrimination. Some symptoms are limited by their nature not to the Dutch territory, such as discrimination on the Internet. In such cases, the extra-territorial context is taken into account. Fixed pattern in the monitoring study is the attempt as much as possible to identify different kinds of victims and perpetrators. This exercise can relate to both natives and foreigners, including the latter let divide again in various minority groups. The response to racism, extremism and anti-Semitism can be different in nature, from educational to legal. Usually the nature of the response depending on the appearance of the discrimination, the category of victims and the background of the perpetrators. In addition, some forms of response to coexist or even synergistic. Regular monitoring of the phenomena, victims, the perpetrators and the response serves several purposes. In this way we try to contribute to the understanding of the fight against racism, extremism and anti-Semitism. Furthermore, accumulation of knowledge rather than the fixed system and the periodicity of the study. Finally, there is an image obtained by developments in the long run and makes suggestions based on past experience for future solutions.
