Tribute - Defiance in the face of discrimination, dismissal and demonization - IHRD The Hague 2026
In the early morning of May 10, 1940, the German Wehrmacht invaded the Netherlands. After five days of fighting, the Dutch army surrendered. A period of deceptive calm followed: daily life appeared to resume its normal course. This illusion quickly shattered. Step by step, new regulations were introduced to exclude Jews from public and social life. By the end of September 1940, the Nazi authorities decreed that Jews—and those married to Jews—could no longer be appointed to or promoted within government positions. The Aryan Declaration In August 1940, a formal ban on the appointment or promotion of Jewish civil servants came into force, despite its direct violation of the Dutch Constitution. Two months later, all civil servants were required to complete a declaration stating whether their parents and grandparents—and those of their spouse—had ever belonged to a Jewish religious community. This form became known as the Aryan Declaration. Almost all civil servants signed it. This registration marked the beginning of a systematic process of stigmatization and exclusion. Jewish employees of the government—including judges, police officers, teachers, musicians, and civil servants—were dismissed en masse. Those with three or four Jewish grandparents were summarily removed from their posts, as were Jews serving on provincial councils or holding honorary civil positions. · Prof. Eduard Meijers and Prof. Benjamin Telders · Prof. David Simons and Ida Simons-Rosenheimer · Prof. Dr. Jacques Presser · Municipal council member Marianne Philips · Musician Sam Swaap · Graphic designer Fré Cohen Each individual excelled in a different field, yet all faced the same fate: Discriminated. Dismissed. Demonized.

Survivor Testimony - Dr. Ir. Ronald E. Waterman - IHRD The Hague 2026
Dr. ir. Ronald Waterman was born in 1935 in Delft. He is a child survivor of the Holocaust and a distinguished engineer and innovator. A graduate of TU Delft in chemical environmental engineering, he later earned a doctorate in civil engineering and geosciences. He is internationally recognized for developing an innovative, nature-based approach to water protection and land reclamation, and is a leading specialist in integrated, multifunctional, and sustainable coastal and delta development through the concept of Building with Nature. As a child, Dr. Waterman endured the horrors of the Second World War, first in transit-camp Westerbork and later in Theresienstadt concentration camp. Although these experiences left a profound and lasting imprint on his life, he went on to build an impressive and influential professional career. Even at the ripe age of 91 years, Dr. Waterman continues to inspire through his work and example. He resides in an home for the elderly, where he is still active advising, writing and lecturing.

Keynote: ‘Learning Lessons’ - Prof. G. (Dineke de Groot) President of the Netherlands Supreme Court
‘Learning Lessons’ - Lodewijk Ernst Visser, former President of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands The 2026 lecture will be about the life and work of Lodewijk Ernst Visser, and about the possible significance of his legacy for us today. When the Netherlands was occupied in 1940, he was the President of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands. His professional life was marked by the ongoing internationalization of the legal order and its importance for a world in which humanity and justice can prevail. He showed enormous courage before and during the Second World War. When the Aryan Declaration had been completed, he was suspended and dismissed from his position. During the Second World War, the authority that should emanate from the rulings of a supreme court suffered seriously. After the war, this authority partially had to be rebuilt. At a time when heightened geopolitical tensions are affecting us and free trade is under renewed pressure, a key point in this lecture will be that Visser's keen, firm and pragmatic views on humanity and on law in a globalising world, still deserve our attention. "We revisit his story, in memory of the Holocaust’s victims, and for inspiration in safeguarding and effectuating values, principles and rights in a rule-of-law-based’s democracy”.

Painful Beginnings: Reconstruction of Jewish Communities after the Holocaust - Prof.András Kovács
The keynote address explores the enduring trauma faced by Holocaust survivors, reflecting on the paradox of remembering and transmitting the irreproducible and incommunicable experience of the concentration camps to future generations. Survivors of concentration camps in Central Europe faced unique and compounding challenges. Upon returning home, they often discovered that their entire families had been annihilated. They encountered devastated communities, looted properties, and pervasive hostility. Despite the abolition of anti-Jewish laws and initial promises of restitution, the political and social systems in post-war Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia failed to deliver meaningful justice. In Czechoslovakia, government decrees labeled a significant portion of surviving Jews as ‘nationally unreliable,’ classifying them as ‘German’ on linguistic grounds and denying them property and citizenship rights. In Poland, societal resistance to returning confiscated Jewish property culminated in anti-Jewish violence. Similarly, in Hungary, restitution laws were inconsistently enforced, and fear of societal backlash discouraged many survivors from reclaiming their property. The lecture underscores how antisemitism, both latent and explicit, shaped post-war policies and social attitudes. Ultimately, the lecture illustrates the enduring legacy of Holocaust trauma, as survivors carried the physical and emotional scars for the rest of their lives. It concludes with the haunting observation of Primo Levi: ‘I am back in the camp again, and nothing outside the camp holds any truth.’ International Holocaust Remembrance Day - The Hague: https://www.ihrd.nl/

A look back at Holocaust Remembrance Day The Hague 2020
Together with the Municipality of The Hague and the Embassy of Israel in the Netherlands, the Jewish cultural organisation CHAJ has initiated an International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration event, a Lecture, which took place for the second time on Monday the 27th of January 2020 at the Peace Palace’s Academy Building. Philippe Sands delivered a lecture entitled ‘Beyond East West Street,’ reflecting the title of his best-selling book, East West Street. The horrors of the Holocaust were a turning point in history which prompted the World to say, “Never Again.” On the 1st of November 2005, the United Nations General Assembly, in Resolution 60/7, designated the 27th of January as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 2006 the first IHRD commemoration took place, and since then ceremonies have been held each year at the United Nations Offices in New York and Geneva and in many cities around the world. The Hague is often referred to as the World Capital of International Law and the City of Peace and Justice, so it was deemed appropriate to add the city to the list of places marking IHRD annually. Together with the Municipality of The Hague and the Embassy of Israel in the Netherlands, the Jewish cultural organisation CHAJ has initiated an International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration event, a Lecture, which took place for first time in 2019 at the Peace Palace’s Academy Building.

Speech by H E Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf at International Holocaust Remembrance Day The Hague 2020
HE Judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf, President of the International Court of Justice, kindly agreed to open International Holocaust Remembrance Day The Hague 2020. He held an impressive speech where he pointed at the danger of dividing humanity into “us” and “the Other”. During the Holocaust, the “Other” were the Jews, the Sinti and Roma, Gays, and the mentally infirm. It is almost impossible now to imagine a group of men sitting quietly planning the murder on an industrial scale of millions, only because they were the “Other”. The many genocidal atrocities against other groups since 1945 shows that we haven’t learned much. More information International Holocaust Remembrance Day - The Hague: https://www.ihrd.nl/

Naor Gilon, Ambassador of Israel; candle lightning in commemoration Holocaust victims @ IHRD-TH 2020
The horrors of the Holocaust were a turning point in history which prompted the World to say, “Never Again.” Together with the Municipality of The Hague and the Embassy of Israel in the Netherlands, the Jewish cultural organisation CHAJ has also initiated an International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration event, a Lecture, which took place for the second time on the 27th of January 2020 at the Peace Palace’s Academy Building. On the 1st of November 2005, the United Nations General Assembly, in Resolution 60/7, designated the 27th of January as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 2006 the first IHRD commemoration took place, and since then ceremonies have been held each year at the United Nations Offices in New York and Geneva and in many cities around the world. The Hague is often referred to as the World Capital of International Law and the City of Peace and Justice, so it was deemed appropriate to add the city to the list of places marking IHRD annually.
