There is and always has been a very close relationship between the Dutch and the Jews living here. That bond got even closer (where possible) during WWII. Most Jews live in Amsterdam and made the symbol of that city (Ajax) 'their' club.
Well, that's more or less the story. I used to know it more detailed but I forgot ... I'll check with some Amsterdam friends of mine!
