A summary of the first edition appeared as Dienke Hondius, ‘A Cold Reception: Holocaust Survivors in The Netherlands and their Return’, Patterns of Prejudice, vol.28, no.1 (London: Sage, 1994), pp.47–65.
An excellent update of recent research on the Holocaust in the Netherlands is Bob Moore, Victims and Survivors: The Nazi Persecution of the Jews in the Netherlands 1940–1945 (London: Arnold, New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1997).
Essential recent studies are: Ido de Haan, Na de ondergang. De herinnering aan de Jodenvervolging in Nederland 1945–1995 (Den Haag: SDU Uitgevers, 1997);
