The Ambiguity of Virtue: Gertrude Van Tijn and the Fate of Dutch Jews

With author Bernard Wasserstein

German-Jewish social worker Gertrude Van Tijn worked with the Nazi‐appointed Jewish Council in Amsterdam and enabled many Jews to escape. Some later called her a heroine for the choices she made; others denounced her as a collaborator. Wasserstein’s book explores the wrenching dilemmas that confronted Jews under Nazi occupation.
