ORIGIN JEWISH COMMUNITY THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Den Haag counted not one, but two Jewish neighbourhoods. There was a large community in the Spui-Haven-area (the Wagenstraat and the Veerkades), called ‘de Buurt’. The second, much smaller one, was around the Nieuwe Uitleg (Smidswater). The ‘Nieuwe Uitleg’ area was mainly populated by ‘Portuguese Jews’. These Jews came to the Low Lands (Holland) late in the 16th century because in 1580 Portugal had become part of Spain. The Spaniards persecuted anyone who wasn’t a Roman Catholic or refused to become one. The term ‘Portuguese Jews’ equally covers Jews from Spain, Turkey and Thessaloniki. These ‘Sephardic’ Jews spoke their own language, ‘Ladino’, based on medieval Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic. In The Netherlands the Sephardic Jews spoke mainly Portuguese. After about 1670 Jews from Eastern Europe started to come to The Hague as well. Most of them settled in the area behind the ‘Spui’. These were called the Asjkenazi Jews and they spoke predominantly Jiddisch.<\/p>\n

ONE OF THE FIRST JEWS TO BE OFFICIALLY REGISTERED IN THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Samuel Pallache (ca. 1550 ~ 1616), a trader-adventurer from Marocco, came with his brother to The Netherlands in 1590, where he became one of the founding members of the Amsterdam Sephardic Jewish community. He often travelled between Marocco and The Netherlands and negotiated with Prins Maurits as official envoy of the Sultan about cooperation between Marocco and the ‘Staten van Holland’ against Spain and the Barbary pirates. The Prince even gave him a Letter of Patent, a license to capture ennemy ships. In 1614 he attempted to bring a captured Portuguese vessel to Holland. A storm forced him to take shelter in an English harbour, where at the request of the Spanish Ambassador, he was imprisoned. Pressure from Prins Maurits secured his release. Ill and penniless he returned to Holland, where he died on January 4th 1616. As Samuel Pallache he was buried in Beth Haim, the Portuguese cemetary in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, which exists and is used to this very day.<\/p>\n

ADMISSION TO THE SHOPKEEPERS GUILD<\/h3>\n
Unlike Amsterdam, where since 1636 Jews were forbidden to run or own a shop, in The Hague this was allowed. Aron Morijno was the first Jew to become a member of the Sint Nicolaas Guild (the guild of shopkeepers), he ran a shop near the ‘Kikforsbrug’, the Frogs Bridge. The guilds started here in the Middle-Ages. They regulated the production and sale of goods for the local market, but they also had a prominent social function. They were closed fraternities, where in some of their documents one finds fiercely discriminating statements about outsiders, Jews, strangers and foreigners. They were open to Christian men only, so the acceptance of Jewih shopkeepers to the Sint Nicolas Guild was extraordinary. The system of Guilds in Holland survived until 1818!

The famous philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632 – 1677) was born in Amsterdam on November 24th 1632 and died in Den Haag on February 21th1677. He was a great philosopher, mathematician, political thinker and lens-grinder of the early Enlightenment. Spinoza was a Sephardic Jew, but on July 27th 1656 he was expelled from the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam. Around 1661 he moved from Amsterdam to Rijnsburg. He earned his living by grinding lenses. Later he settled in The Hague in ‘De Buurt’, the larger Jewish area. He rented a house on the Paviljoensgracht that still exists.<\/p>\n

Don Francisco Lopes Suasso (ca. 1657-1710), Baron d’Avernas le Gras, as was his official title, was a very influential citizen of The Hague. His father was an extremely wealthy banker who in spite of his Jewish roots was ennobled by King Carlos Segundo of Spain. Following his settlement in Den Haag Don Francisco Lopes Suasso as a successful banker continued to build his family’s fortune and invested among others in ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’. He financed Willem III (of William & Mary fame) to capture the English throne and in his battles against Louis XIV during the ‘Nine Year War’ (1688-1697). His palatial mansion at the Korte Voorhout, now the location of the Ministry of Finance looked truly majestic.<\/p>\n

RELIGION<\/h3>\n
The Portuguese Jews in Den Haag built their most beautiful synagogue (architects: Dani\u00ebl Marot and Felix du Sart) on the Prinsessegracht. The Asjkenazi Jews obtained a synagogue on the Voldersgracht in 1723. From 1694 both communities buried their dead in the Jewish cemetery behind the ‘Tolhuis’ (toll house) on the Scheveningseweg (today opposite the Peace palace, het Vredespaleis).<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE BOAS BANKING COMPANY<\/h3>\n
In the 18th century one of the most famous Jewish citizens of Den Haag was the Aschkenazi banker Tobias Boaz (1696-1782), son of a Polish immigrant. In 1690 his father acquired the citizenship of Den Haag. In 1703 he tried to become a member of the wine buyers guild, but was rejected. He then started to trade in jewellery, gold and textiles. In 1716 father and son Tobias started to work together with Hendrik van de Casteele. This cooperation developed into the banking house Boas. Tobias Boas increased the trading activities and managed to make his bank internationally famous.<\/p>\n

CONSECRATION OF THE SEPHARDIC SYNAGOGUE<\/h3>\n
Towards the end of the 17th century several rich Portuguese families moved from Amsterdam to Den Haag. They came to belong to the elite of Den Haag society. Still they remained a group apart due to their mediterranean looks, culture and religion. Early in the 17th century their community counted several ‘house synagogues’, but as their membership started to grow, a desire for a larger ‘real’ synagogue developed. They decided to build a prestigeous synagogue on the Princessegracht. This monumental synagogue in Louis XIV style was consecrated in 1726. Until the Second World War it was continuously used by the Portuguese Jewish community and today it is the synagogue of the LJG, the Liberal Jewish community here.<\/p>\n

\u2018GELYKSTAAT DER JODEN\u2019 – ‘EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW FOR JEWS’<\/h3>\n
Many Jews in The Netherlands had fled here to escape war and persecution. In the 17th century, in the wake of the Portuguese Jews, many ‘Hoogduitse’ Jews (Jews who had lived for generations in Germany) came here. They had their own language, Yiddish, which was based on old German and had elements of Polish, Russian and Hebrew. Jews could not become members of the Guilds nor be appointed to a public office. At the end of the 18th century, inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment Jewish associations started to push for the emancipation of the Dutch Jews. In 1796 they finally obtained full civil rights like the Protestant burghers. In practice it was still a long road before they could fully enjoy these rights.<\/p>\n

DEVELOPMENT OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
The 19th century was a period with many new developments. This was reflected in the changes to the Jewish community as well. Remarkable was the growth of ‘De Buurt’, the area behind the Nieuwe Kerk, where many ‘Hoogduitse’, German, Jews had settled.<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE IRON FOUNDRY ENTHOVEN<\/h3>\n
Lion (Leip or Leo John) Israel Enthoven (1787- 1863) was the son of Israel David Enthoven and Gelle Simons. He was the youngest in a family of four sons and became a music teacher. Apart from his teaching job he traded metal wares like sheets of copper. In April 1824 Lion together with Eduard Bartolom\u00e9 Louis Maritz, the son of one of his music pupils, started a factory for melting copper and other metals at the Haagsche Trekvaart near today’s Rijswijkseplein. The company flourished and remained in Den Haag until 1905.<\/p>\n

As the number of Jews who settled in the area behind the Spui grew, the Jewish character of ‘De Buurt’ became more pronounced. The synagogue on the Voldersgracht became too small and the community decided to build a large formal one. This became the neo-classical ‘Great Synagogue’ on the Wagenstraat. This buiding by the local architect Arend Roodenburg was consecrated in 1844.<\/p>\n

In 1850 there was a major cholera epidemic in the province of Zuid-Holland. This epidemic hit \u2018De Buurt\u2019 hard, because the living conditions were so bad there. In the wake of this disaster, the Jewish community invested in a number of social institutions for ‘De Buurt’. Rabbi Samuel Berenstein (1808-1893), affectionally called ‘Rabbi Beer\u2019, was one of the initiators of the Jewish orphanage as well as the Jewish hospital in Den Haag. He was also involved in the establishment of the ‘Stichting tot Nut van de Isra\u00eblieten’, a major foundation to help Dutch Jews in general and the ‘Vereniging voor de Joodsche Letterkunde en Geschiedenis’, a foundation for the study of Jewish literature and history. Samuel Berenstein hailed from a famous line of rabbis and was supposed to follow his father as ‘opperrabbijn’, senior rabbi, of Amsterdam, but in the capital we was deemed to be too censervative. In 1848 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag and acting opperrabbijn of Utrecht and Zeeland. He became a great scholar, whose \u2018drashot\u2019 (sermons) were famous. T. To recognise his important services to the community he was awarded the title of ‘Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw’, a major Royal distinction<\/p>\n

Few families were so prominently present in Dutch journalism as the Jewish family Belinfante in Den Haag. The Belinfantes were a well known Sephardic family with a long line of journalists. In 1844 they started to work together with the sephardic Vas Dias family, also from a line of journalists. In 1869 the two families founded the ‘Nederlandsch Correspondentiebureau voor Dagbladen’, the Dutch press agency for newspapers. This ‘Correspondentiebureau’ dominated Dutch parliamentary journalism until around 1900. With the establishment in 1934 of the ‘ANP’, the general Dutch press agency, the Correspondentiebureau had to close. Mr. Johan Jacob Belinfante (1874-1947), was the last director of the Correspondentiebureau as well as the first director of the ANP in Den Haag.<\/p>\n

From the start of the 20th century Jewish social life in Den Haag was flourishing. Among many other clubs and associations there was a Jewish soccer club, a gymnastics association and various choires. The growth of these social entities was a reaction to the growing secularisation of the community. The Jews in Den Haag spread out from ‘De Buurt’ and an ever larger group -to various extents- turned their backs to the religion. The economy grew well and there were an increasing number of Jewish companies. The shops with Jewish owners were no longer just in ‘De Buurt’, but everywhere in the center of the city and also in areas further away.

Originally the club was supposed to be called \u2018Vitesse\u2019 but the Den Haag soccer association disagreed. Therefore the name was changed to \u2018De Ooievaars\u2019, the ‘Storks’ after the city mascot. In 1941 the German occupiers ordered the club to be disbanded. Out of nine teams only four members survived the war. Still it was decided to re-establish the club and to continue as a general (i.e. not exclusively Jewish) soccer club. ‘Hvv De Ooievaars’ was active until 1986.<\/p>\n

Though The Netherlands were neutral during the First World War and life went on much as before, the war was clearly present in the daily lives of burghers. In August, following the German invasion of Belgium, a group of Belgian Jews -as well as a great many others- fled North. Members of the NIG (Nederlands Isra\u00eblitische Gemeente) in Den Haag took care of the first shelter. They founded a special committee for fugitives, the ‘Haagsch Comit\u00e9 voor Joodsche Vluchtelingen’ with Mr. Eduard Kann as president. After the war most of the fugitives went back, but a sizable number availed themselves of the possibility to request Dutch citizenship.<\/p>\n

BARNSTIJN STANDARD MOVIES<\/h3>\n
Loet C. Barnstijn was de son of Hertog Izak Cohen and Eva Barnstijn. He grew up in Enschede and at the age of 24 he moved to Den Haag. He found work in a textile company and worked his way up from clerk to buyer. By starting the ‘Standaard Films’ company and in 1925 the ‘Loet C. Barnstijn Filmproductie’, he laid the foundation for the first Dutch language talking movie. In 1931 Barnstijn produced: ‘Zijn Belooning’ and three years later he was one of the investors in ‘De Jantjes’, which was an outstanding success. In 1932 he produced a movie about Jewish Amsterdam. Fragments from this film were abused by the German occupiers in 1941 by inserting them into the Dutch version of the antisemitic movie ‘De eeuwige Jood’, Loet Barnstijn had a large studio in park Oosterbeek just between Den Haag and Wassenaar, which was called Filmstad. In early May 1940 the Dutch government requisitioned the studio buildings to imprison German prisoners of war and Dutch traitors.<\/p>\n

RABBI ISAAC MAARSEN INSTALLED AS SENIOR RABBI OF THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Isaac Maarsen was born in Amsterdam on February 27th 1892. He had already been working for six years as a rabbi in Amsterdam when at the age of 33 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag. During the Second World War the care for the Jews of Den Haag became his primary task. Even after the German occupiers forced the Jews to leave Den Haag for Amsterdam, Westerbork or for labour camps abroad, he continued to strive for the well being of his community and refused to go into hiding. On 21 April 1943 he was deported together with his entire family and three months later they were all murdered in Sobibor.<\/p>\n

ORIGIN JEWISH COMMUNITY THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Den Haag counted not one, but two Jewish neighbourhoods. There was a large community in the Spui-Haven-area (the Wagenstraat and the Veerkades), called ‘de Buurt’. The second, much smaller one, was around the Nieuwe Uitleg (Smidswater). The ‘Nieuwe Uitleg’ area was mainly populated by ‘Portuguese Jews’. These Jews came to the Low Lands (Holland) late in the 16th century because in 1580 Portugal had become part of Spain. The Spaniards persecuted anyone who wasn’t a Roman Catholic or refused to become one. The term ‘Portuguese Jews’ equally covers Jews from Spain, Turkey and Thessaloniki. These ‘Sephardic’ Jews spoke their own language, ‘Ladino’, based on medieval Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic. In The Netherlands the Sephardic Jews spoke mainly Portuguese. After about 1670 Jews from Eastern Europe started to come to The Hague as well. Most of them settled in the area behind the ‘Spui’. These were called the Asjkenazi Jews and they spoke predominantly Jiddisch.<\/p>\n

ONE OF THE FIRST JEWS TO BE OFFICIALLY REGISTERED IN THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Samuel Pallache (ca. 1550 ~ 1616), a trader-adventurer from Marocco, came with his brother to The Netherlands in 1590, where he became one of the founding members of the Amsterdam Sephardic Jewish community. He often travelled between Marocco and The Netherlands and negotiated with Prins Maurits as official envoy of the Sultan about cooperation between Marocco and the ‘Staten van Holland’ against Spain and the Barbary pirates. The Prince even gave him a Letter of Patent, a license to capture ennemy ships. In 1614 he attempted to bring a captured Portuguese vessel to Holland. A storm forced him to take shelter in an English harbour, where at the request of the Spanish Ambassador, he was imprisoned. Pressure from Prins Maurits secured his release. Ill and penniless he returned to Holland, where he died on January 4th 1616. As Samuel Pallache he was buried in Beth Haim, the Portuguese cemetary in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, which exists and is used to this very day.<\/p>\n

ADMISSION TO THE SHOPKEEPERS GUILD<\/h3>\n
Unlike Amsterdam, where since 1636 Jews were forbidden to run or own a shop, in The Hague this was allowed. Aron Morijno was the first Jew to become a member of the Sint Nicolaas Guild (the guild of shopkeepers), he ran a shop near the ‘Kikforsbrug’, the Frogs Bridge. The guilds started here in the Middle-Ages. They regulated the production and sale of goods for the local market, but they also had a prominent social function. They were closed fraternities, where in some of their documents one finds fiercely discriminating statements about outsiders, Jews, strangers and foreigners. They were open to Christian men only, so the acceptance of Jewih shopkeepers to the Sint Nicolas Guild was extraordinary. The system of Guilds in Holland survived until 1818!

The famous philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632 – 1677) was born in Amsterdam on November 24th 1632 and died in Den Haag on February 21th1677. He was a great philosopher, mathematician, political thinker and lens-grinder of the early Enlightenment. Spinoza was a Sephardic Jew, but on July 27th 1656 he was expelled from the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam. Around 1661 he moved from Amsterdam to Rijnsburg. He earned his living by grinding lenses. Later he settled in The Hague in ‘De Buurt’, the larger Jewish area. He rented a house on the Paviljoensgracht that still exists.<\/p>\n

His father was an extremely wealthy banker who in spite of his Jewish roots was ennobled by King Carlos Segundo of Spain. Following his settlement in Den Haag Don Francisco Lopes Suasso as a successful banker continued to build his family’s fortune and invested among others in ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’. He financed Willem III (of William & Mary fame) to capture the English throne and in his battles against Louis XIV during the ‘Nine Year War’ (1688-1697). His palatial mansion at the Korte Voorhout, now the location of the Ministry of Finance looked truly majestic.<\/p>\n

RELIGION<\/h3>\n
The Portuguese Jews in Den Haag built their most beautiful synagogue (architects: Dani\u00ebl Marot and Felix du Sart) on the Prinsessegracht. The Asjkenazi Jews obtained a synagogue on the Voldersgracht in 1723. From 1694 both communities buried their dead in the Jewish cemetery behind the ‘Tolhuis’ (toll house) on the Scheveningseweg (today opposite the Peace palace, het Vredespaleis).<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE BOAS BANKING COMPANY<\/h3>\n
In the 18th century one of the most famous Jewish citizens of Den Haag was the Aschkenazi banker Tobias Boaz (1696-1782), son of a Polish immigrant. In 1690 his father acquired the citizenship of Den Haag. In 1703 he tried to become a member of the wine buyers guild, but was rejected. He then started to trade in jewellery, gold and textiles. In 1716 father and son Tobias started to work together with Hendrik van de Casteele. This cooperation developed into the banking house Boas. Tobias Boas increased the trading activities and managed to make his bank internationally famous.<\/p>\n

CONSECRATION OF THE SEPHARDIC SYNAGOGUE<\/h3>\n
Towards the end of the 17th century several rich Portuguese families moved from Amsterdam to Den Haag. They came to belong to the elite of Den Haag society. Still they remained a group apart due to their mediterranean looks, culture and religion. Early in the 17th century their community counted several ‘house synagogues’, but as their membership started to grow, a desire for a larger ‘real’ synagogue developed. They decided to build a prestigeous synagogue on the Princessegracht. This monumental synagogue in Louis XIV style was consecrated in 1726. Until the Second World War it was continuously used by the Portuguese Jewish community and today it is the synagogue of the LJG, the Liberal Jewish community here.<\/p>\n

\u2018GELYKSTAAT DER JODEN\u2019 – ‘EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW FOR JEWS’<\/h3>\n
Many Jews in The Netherlands had fled here to escape war and persecution. In the 17th century, in the wake of the Portuguese Jews, many ‘Hoogduitse’ Jews (Jews who had lived for generations in Germany) came here. They had their own language, Yiddish, which was based on old German and had elements of Polish, Russian and Hebrew. Jews could not become members of the Guilds nor be appointed to a public office. At the end of the 18th century, inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment Jewish associations started to push for the emancipation of the Dutch Jews. In 1796 they finally obtained full civil rights like the Protestant burghers. In practice it was still a long road before they could fully enjoy these rights.<\/p>\n

DEVELOPMENT OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
The 19th century was a period with many new developments. This was reflected in the changes to the Jewish community as well. Remarkable was the growth of ‘De Buurt’, the area behind the Nieuwe Kerk, where many ‘Hoogduitse’, German, Jews had settled.<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE IRON FOUNDRY ENTHOVEN<\/h3>\n
Lion (Leip or Leo John) Israel Enthoven (1787- 1863) was the son of Israel David Enthoven and Gelle Simons. He was the youngest in a family of four sons and became a music teacher. Apart from his teaching job he traded metal wares like sheets of copper. In April 1824 Lion together with Eduard Bartolom\u00e9 Louis Maritz, the son of one of his music pupils, started a factory for melting copper and other metals at the Haagsche Trekvaart near today’s Rijswijkseplein. The company flourished and remained in Den Haag until 1905.<\/p>\n

As the number of Jews who settled in the area behind the Spui grew, the Jewish character of ‘De Buurt’ became more pronounced. The synagogue on the Voldersgracht became too small and the community decided to build a large formal one. This became the neo-classical ‘Great Synagogue’ on the Wagenstraat. This buiding by the local architect Arend Roodenburg was consecrated in 1844.<\/p>\n

In 1850 there was a major cholera epidemic in the province of Zuid-Holland. This epidemic hit \u2018De Buurt\u2019 hard, because the living conditions were so bad there. In the wake of this disaster, the Jewish community invested in a number of social institutions for ‘De Buurt’. Rabbi Samuel Berenstein (1808-1893), affectionally called ‘Rabbi Beer\u2019, was one of the initiators of the Jewish orphanage as well as the Jewish hospital in Den Haag. He was also involved in the establishment of the ‘Stichting tot Nut van de Isra\u00eblieten’, a major foundation to help Dutch Jews in general and the ‘Vereniging voor de Joodsche Letterkunde en Geschiedenis’, a foundation for the study of Jewish literature and history. Samuel Berenstein hailed from a famous line of rabbis and was supposed to follow his father as ‘opperrabbijn’, senior rabbi, of Amsterdam, but in the capital we was deemed to be too censervative. In 1848 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag and acting opperrabbijn of Utrecht and Zeeland. He became a great scholar, whose \u2018drashot\u2019 (sermons) were famous. T. To recognise his important services to the community he was awarded the title of ‘Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw’, a major Royal distinction<\/p>\n

Few families were so prominently present in Dutch journalism as the Jewish family Belinfante in Den Haag. The Belinfantes were a well known Sephardic family with a long line of journalists. In 1844 they started to work together with the sephardic Vas Dias family, also from a line of journalists. In 1869 the two families founded the ‘Nederlandsch Correspondentiebureau voor Dagbladen’, the Dutch press agency for newspapers. This ‘Correspondentiebureau’ dominated Dutch parliamentary journalism until around 1900. With the establishment in 1934 of the ‘ANP’, the general Dutch press agency, the Correspondentiebureau had to close. Mr. Johan Jacob Belinfante (1874-1947), was the last director of the Correspondentiebureau as well as the first director of the ANP in Den Haag.<\/p>\n

From the start of the 20th century Jewish social life in Den Haag was flourishing. Among many other clubs and associations there was a Jewish soccer club, a gymnastics association and various choires. The growth of these social entities was a reaction to the growing secularisation of the community. The Jews in Den Haag spread out from ‘De Buurt’ and an ever larger group -to various extents- turned their backs to the religion. The economy grew well and there were an increasing number of Jewish companies. The shops with Jewish owners were no longer just in ‘De Buurt’, but everywhere in the center of the city and also in areas further away. Chain stores like De Bijenkorf, HEMA, Maison de Bonneterie and the fashion store ETAM had Jewish owners.<\/p>\n

Originally the club was supposed to be called \u2018Vitesse\u2019 but the Den Haag soccer association disagreed. Therefore the name was changed to \u2018De Ooievaars\u2019, the ‘Storks’ after the city mascot. In 1941 the German occupiers ordered the club to be disbanded. Out of nine teams only four members survived the war. Still it was decided to re-establish the club and to continue as a general (i.e. not exclusively Jewish) soccer club. ‘Hvv De Ooievaars’ was active until 1986.<\/p>\n

Though The Netherlands were neutral during the First World War and life went on much as before, the war was clearly present in the daily lives of burghers. In August, following the German invasion of Belgium, a group of Belgian Jews -as well as a great many others- fled North. Members of the NIG (Nederlands Isra\u00eblitische Gemeente) in Den Haag took care of the first shelter. They founded a special committee for fugitives, the ‘Haagsch Comit\u00e9 voor Joodsche Vluchtelingen’ with Mr. Eduard Kann as president. After the war most of the fugitives went back, but a sizable number availed themselves of the possibility to request Dutch citizenship.<\/p>\n

Loet C. Barnstijn was de son of Hertog Izak Cohen and Eva Barnstijn. He grew up in Enschede and at the age of 24 he moved to Den Haag. He found work in a textile company and worked his way up from clerk to buyer. By starting the ‘Standaard Films’ company and in 1925 the ‘Loet C. Barnstijn Filmproductie’, he laid the foundation for the first Dutch language talking movie. In 1931 Barnstijn produced: ‘Zijn Belooning’ and three years later he was one of the investors in ‘De Jantjes’, which was an outstanding success. In 1932 he produced a movie about Jewish Amsterdam. Fragments from this film were abused by the German occupiers in 1941 by inserting them into the Dutch version of the antisemitic movie ‘De eeuwige Jood’, Loet Barnstijn had a large studio in park Oosterbeek just between Den Haag and Wassenaar, which was called Filmstad. In early May 1940 the Dutch government requisitioned the studio buildings to imprison German prisoners of war and Dutch traitors.<\/p>\n

RABBI ISAAC MAARSEN INSTALLED AS SENIOR RABBI OF THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Isaac Maarsen was born in Amsterdam on February 27th 1892. He had already been working for six years as a rabbi in Amsterdam when at the age of 33 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag. During the Second World War the care for the Jews of Den Haag became his primary task. Even after the German occupiers forced the Jews to leave Den Haag for Amsterdam, Westerbork or for labour camps abroad, he continued to strive for the well being of his community and refused to go into hiding. On 21 April 1943 he was deported together with his entire family and three months later they were all murdered in Sobibor.<\/p>\n

ONE OF THE FIRST JEWS TO BE OFFICIALLY REGISTERED IN THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Samuel Pallache (ca. 1550 ~ 1616), a trader-adventurer from Marocco, came with his brother to The Netherlands in 1590, where he became one of the founding members of the Amsterdam Sephardic Jewish community. He often travelled between Marocco and The Netherlands and negotiated with Prins Maurits as official envoy of the Sultan about cooperation between Marocco and the ‘Staten van Holland’ against Spain and the Barbary pirates. The Prince even gave him a Letter of Patent, a license to capture ennemy ships. In 1614 he attempted to bring a captured Portuguese vessel to Holland. A storm forced him to take shelter in an English harbour, where at the request of the Spanish Ambassador, he was imprisoned. Pressure from Prins Maurits secured his release. Ill and penniless he returned to Holland, where he died on January 4th 1616. As Samuel Pallache he was buried in Beth Haim, the Portuguese cemetary in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, which exists and is used to this very day.<\/p>\n

ADMISSION TO THE SHOPKEEPERS GUILD<\/h3>\n
Unlike Amsterdam, where since 1636 Jews were forbidden to run or own a shop, in The Hague this was allowed. Aron Morijno was the first Jew to become a member of the Sint Nicolaas Guild (the guild of shopkeepers), he ran a shop near the ‘Kikforsbrug’, the Frogs Bridge. The guilds started here in the Middle-Ages. They regulated the production and sale of goods for the local market, but they also had a prominent social function. They were closed fraternities, where in some of their documents one finds fiercely discriminating statements about outsiders, Jews, strangers and foreigners. They were open to Christian men only, so the acceptance of Jewih shopkeepers to the Sint Nicolas Guild was extraordinary. The system of Guilds in Holland survived until 1818!

The famous philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632 – 1677) was born in Amsterdam on November 24th 1632 and died in Den Haag on February 21th1677. He was a great philosopher, mathematician, political thinker and lens-grinder of the early Enlightenment. Spinoza was a Sephardic Jew, but on July 27th 1656 he was expelled from the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam. Around 1661 he moved from Amsterdam to Rijnsburg. He earned his living by grinding lenses. Later he settled in The Hague in ‘De Buurt’, the larger Jewish area. He rented a house on the Paviljoensgracht that still exists.<\/p>\n

Don Francisco Lopes Suasso (ca. 1657-1710), Baron d’Avernas le Gras, as was his official title, was a very influential citizen of The Hague. His father was an extremely wealthy banker who in spite of his Jewish roots was ennobled by King Carlos Segundo of Spain. Following his settlement in Den Haag Don Francisco Lopes Suasso as a successful banker continued to build his family’s fortune and invested among others in ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’. He financed Willem III (of William & Mary fame) to capture the English throne and in his battles against Louis XIV during the ‘Nine Year War’ (1688-1697). His palatial mansion at the Korte Voorhout, now the location of the Ministry of Finance looked truly majestic.<\/p>\n

RELIGION<\/h3>\n
The Portuguese Jews in Den Haag built their most beautiful synagogue (architects: Dani\u00ebl Marot and Felix du Sart) on the Prinsessegracht. The Asjkenazi Jews obtained a synagogue on the Voldersgracht in 1723. From 1694 both communities buried their dead in the Jewish cemetery behind the ‘Tolhuis’ (toll house) on the Scheveningseweg (today opposite the Peace palace, het Vredespaleis).<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE BOAS BANKING COMPANY<\/h3>\n
In the 18th century one of the most famous Jewish citizens of Den Haag was the Aschkenazi banker Tobias Boaz (1696-1782), son of a Polish immigrant. In 1690 his father acquired the citizenship of Den Haag. In 1703 he tried to become a member of the wine buyers guild, but was rejected. He then started to trade in jewellery, gold and textiles. In 1716 father and son Tobias started to work together with Hendrik van de Casteele. This cooperation developed into the banking house Boas. Tobias Boas increased the trading activities and managed to make his bank internationally famous.<\/p>\n

CONSECRATION OF THE SEPHARDIC SYNAGOGUE<\/h3>\n
Towards the end of the 17th century several rich Portuguese families moved from Amsterdam to Den Haag. They came to belong to the elite of Den Haag society. Still they remained a group apart due to their mediterranean looks, culture and religion. Early in the 17th century their community counted several ‘house synagogues’, but as their membership started to grow, a desire for a larger ‘real’ synagogue developed. They decided to build a prestigeous synagogue on the Princessegracht. This monumental synagogue in Louis XIV style was consecrated in 1726. Until the Second World War it was continuously used by the Portuguese Jewish community and today it is the synagogue of the LJG, the Liberal Jewish community here.<\/p>\n

\u2018GELYKSTAAT DER JODEN\u2019 – ‘EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW FOR JEWS’<\/h3>\n
Many Jews in The Netherlands had fled here to escape war and persecution. In the 17th century, in the wake of the Portuguese Jews, many ‘Hoogduitse’ Jews (Jews who had lived for generations in Germany) came here. They had their own language, Yiddish, which was based on old German and had elements of Polish, Russian and Hebrew. Jews could not become members of the Guilds nor be appointed to a public office. At the end of the 18th century, inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment Jewish associations started to push for the emancipation of the Dutch Jews. In 1796 they finally obtained full civil rights like the Protestant burghers. In practice it was still a long road before they could fully enjoy these rights.<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE IRON FOUNDRY ENTHOVEN<\/h3>\n
Lion (Leip or Leo John) Israel Enthoven (1787- 1863) was the son of Israel David Enthoven and Gelle Simons. He was the youngest in a family of four sons and became a music teacher. Apart from his teaching job he traded metal wares like sheets of copper. In April 1824 Lion together with Eduard Bartolom\u00e9 Louis Maritz, the son of one of his music pupils, started a factory for melting copper and other metals at the Haagsche Trekvaart near today’s Rijswijkseplein. The company flourished and remained in Den Haag until 1905.<\/p>\n

As the number of Jews who settled in the area behind the Spui grew, the Jewish character of ‘De Buurt’ became more pronounced. The synagogue on the Voldersgracht became too small and the community decided to build a large formal one. This became the neo-classical ‘Great Synagogue’ on the Wagenstraat. This buiding by the local architect Arend Roodenburg was consecrated in 1844.<\/p>\n

He was the first Jewish member of the Tweede Kamer (viz. the Dutch House of Commons or the House of Representatives), a post for which he was re-elected five times. Politically Liberal he also became the first Jewish cabinet minister in The Netherlands, at first against the wishes of King Willem III. He shepherded the ‘Wet op de Raad van State’ through both chambers of parliament and was very influential in the development of our body of penal law.<\/p>\n

In 1850 there was a major cholera epidemic in the province of Zuid-Holland. This epidemic hit \u2018De Buurt\u2019 hard, because the living conditions were so bad there. In the wake of this disaster, the Jewish community invested in a number of social institutions for ‘De Buurt’. Rabbi Samuel Berenstein (1808-1893), affectionally called ‘Rabbi Beer\u2019, was one of the initiators of the Jewish orphanage as well as the Jewish hospital in Den Haag. He was also involved in the establishment of the ‘Stichting tot Nut van de Isra\u00eblieten’, a major foundation to help Dutch Jews in general and the ‘Vereniging voor de Joodsche Letterkunde en Geschiedenis’, a foundation for the study of Jewish literature and history. Samuel Berenstein hailed from a famous line of rabbis and was supposed to follow his father as ‘opperrabbijn’, senior rabbi, of Amsterdam, but in the capital we was deemed to be too censervative. In 1848 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag and acting opperrabbijn of Utrecht and Zeeland. He became a great scholar, whose \u2018drashot\u2019 (sermons) were famous. T. To recognise his important services to the community he was awarded the title of ‘Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw’, a major Royal distinction<\/p>\n

Few families were so prominently present in Dutch journalism as the Jewish family Belinfante in Den Haag. The Belinfantes were a well known Sephardic family with a long line of journalists. In 1844 they started to work together with the sephardic Vas Dias family, also from a line of journalists. In 1869 the two families founded the ‘Nederlandsch Correspondentiebureau voor Dagbladen’, the Dutch press agency for newspapers. This ‘Correspondentiebureau’ dominated Dutch parliamentary journalism until around 1900. With the establishment in 1934 of the ‘ANP’, the general Dutch press agency, the Correspondentiebureau had to close. Mr. Johan Jacob Belinfante (1874-1947), was the last director of the Correspondentiebureau as well as the first director of the ANP in Den Haag.<\/p>\n

From the start of the 20th century Jewish social life in Den Haag was flourishing. Among many other clubs and associations there was a Jewish soccer club, a gymnastics association and various choires. The growth of these social entities was a reaction to the growing secularisation of the community. The Jews in Den Haag spread out from ‘De Buurt’ and an ever larger group -to various extents- turned their backs to the religion. The economy grew well and there were an increasing number of Jewish companies. The shops with Jewish owners were no longer just in ‘De Buurt’, but everywhere in the center of the city and also in areas further away. Chain stores like De Bijenkorf, HEMA, Maison de Bonneterie and the fashion store ETAM had Jewish owners.<\/p>\n

Therefore the name was changed to \u2018De Ooievaars\u2019, the ‘Storks’ after the city mascot. In 1941 the German occupiers ordered the club to be disbanded. Out of nine teams only four members survived the war. Still it was decided to re-establish the club and to continue as a general (i.e. not exclusively Jewish) soccer club. ‘Hvv De Ooievaars’ was active until 1986.<\/p>\n

Though The Netherlands were neutral during the First World War and life went on much as before, the war was clearly present in the daily lives of burghers. In August, following the German invasion of Belgium, a group of Belgian Jews -as well as a great many others- fled North. Members of the NIG (Nederlands Isra\u00eblitische Gemeente) in Den Haag took care of the first shelter. They founded a special committee for fugitives, the ‘Haagsch Comit\u00e9 voor Joodsche Vluchtelingen’ with Mr. Eduard Kann as president. After the war most of the fugitives went back, but a sizable number availed themselves of the possibility to request Dutch citizenship.<\/p>\n

BARNSTIJN STANDARD MOVIES<\/h3>\n
Loet C. Barnstijn was de son of Hertog Izak Cohen and Eva Barnstijn. He grew up in Enschede and at the age of 24 he moved to Den Haag. He found work in a textile company and worked his way up from clerk to buyer. By starting the ‘Standaard Films’ company and in 1925 the ‘Loet C. Barnstijn Filmproductie’, he laid the foundation for the first Dutch language talking movie. In 1931 Barnstijn produced: ‘Zijn Belooning’ and three years later he was one of the investors in ‘De Jantjes’, which was an outstanding success. In 1932 he produced a movie about Jewish Amsterdam. Fragments from this film were abused by the German occupiers in 1941 by inserting them into the Dutch version of the antisemitic movie ‘De eeuwige Jood’, Loet Barnstijn had a large studio in park Oosterbeek just between Den Haag and Wassenaar, which was called Filmstad. In early May 1940 the Dutch government requisitioned the studio buildings to imprison German prisoners of war and Dutch traitors.<\/p>\n

RABBI ISAAC MAARSEN INSTALLED AS SENIOR RABBI OF THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Isaac Maarsen was born in Amsterdam on February 27th 1892. He had already been working for six years as a rabbi in Amsterdam when at the age of 33 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag. During the Second World War the care for the Jews of Den Haag became his primary task. Even after the German occupiers forced the Jews to leave Den Haag for Amsterdam, Westerbork or for labour camps abroad, he continued to strive for the well being of his community and refused to go into hiding. On 21 April 1943 he was deported together with his entire family and three months later they were all murdered in Sobibor.<\/p>\n

ADMISSION TO THE SHOPKEEPERS GUILD<\/h3>\n
Unlike Amsterdam, where since 1636 Jews were forbidden to run or own a shop, in The Hague this was allowed. Aron Morijno was the first Jew to become a member of the Sint Nicolaas Guild (the guild of shopkeepers), he ran a shop near the ‘Kikforsbrug’, the Frogs Bridge. The guilds started here in the Middle-Ages. They regulated the production and sale of goods for the local market, but they also had a prominent social function. They were closed fraternities, where in some of their documents one finds fiercely discriminating statements about outsiders, Jews, strangers and foreigners. They were open to Christian men only, so the acceptance of Jewih shopkeepers to the Sint Nicolas Guild was extraordinary. The system of Guilds in Holland survived until 1818!

He was a great philosopher, mathematician, political thinker and lens-grinder of the early Enlightenment. Spinoza was a Sephardic Jew, but on July 27th 1656 he was expelled from the Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam. Around 1661 he moved from Amsterdam to Rijnsburg. He earned his living by grinding lenses. Later he settled in The Hague in ‘De Buurt’, the larger Jewish area. He rented a house on the Paviljoensgracht that still exists.<\/p>\n

Don Francisco Lopes Suasso (ca. 1657-1710), Baron d’Avernas le Gras, as was his official title, was a very influential citizen of The Hague. His father was an extremely wealthy banker who in spite of his Jewish roots was ennobled by King Carlos Segundo of Spain. Following his settlement in Den Haag Don Francisco Lopes Suasso as a successful banker continued to build his family’s fortune and invested among others in ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’. He financed Willem III (of William & Mary fame) to capture the English throne and in his battles against Louis XIV during the ‘Nine Year War’ (1688-1697). His palatial mansion at the Korte Voorhout, now the location of the Ministry of Finance looked truly majestic.<\/p>\n

RELIGION<\/h3>\n
The Portuguese Jews in Den Haag built their most beautiful synagogue (architects: Dani\u00ebl Marot and Felix du Sart) on the Prinsessegracht. The Asjkenazi Jews obtained a synagogue on the Voldersgracht in 1723. From 1694 both communities buried their dead in the Jewish cemetery behind the ‘Tolhuis’ (toll house) on the Scheveningseweg (today opposite the Peace palace, het Vredespaleis).<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE BOAS BANKING COMPANY<\/h3>\n
In the 18th century one of the most famous Jewish citizens of Den Haag was the Aschkenazi banker Tobias Boaz (1696-1782), son of a Polish immigrant. In 1690 his father acquired the citizenship of Den Haag. In 1703 he tried to become a member of the wine buyers guild, but was rejected. He then started to trade in jewellery, gold and textiles. In 1716 father and son Tobias started to work together with Hendrik van de Casteele. This cooperation developed into the banking house Boas. Tobias Boas increased the trading activities and managed to make his bank internationally famous.<\/p>\n

CONSECRATION OF THE SEPHARDIC SYNAGOGUE<\/h3>\n
Towards the end of the 17th century several rich Portuguese families moved from Amsterdam to Den Haag. They came to belong to the elite of Den Haag society. Still they remained a group apart due to their mediterranean looks, culture and religion. Early in the 17th century their community counted several ‘house synagogues’, but as their membership started to grow, a desire for a larger ‘real’ synagogue developed. They decided to build a prestigeous synagogue on the Princessegracht. This monumental synagogue in Louis XIV style was consecrated in 1726. Until the Second World War it was continuously used by the Portuguese Jewish community and today it is the synagogue of the LJG, the Liberal Jewish community here.<\/p>\n

\u2018GELYKSTAAT DER JODEN\u2019 – ‘EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW FOR JEWS’<\/h3>\n
Many Jews in The Netherlands had fled here to escape war and persecution. In the 17th century, in the wake of the Portuguese Jews, many ‘Hoogduitse’ Jews (Jews who had lived for generations in Germany) came here. They had their own language, Yiddish, which was based on old German and had elements of Polish, Russian and Hebrew. Jews could not become members of the Guilds nor be appointed to a public office. At the end of the 18th century, inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment Jewish associations started to push for the emancipation of the Dutch Jews. In 1796 they finally obtained full civil rights like the Protestant burghers. In practice it was still a long road before they could fully enjoy these rights.<\/p>\n

FOUNDATION OF THE IRON FOUNDRY ENTHOVEN<\/h3>\n
Lion (Leip or Leo John) Israel Enthoven (1787- 1863) was the son of Israel David Enthoven and Gelle Simons. He was the youngest in a family of four sons and became a music teacher. Apart from his teaching job he traded metal wares like sheets of copper. In April 1824 Lion together with Eduard Bartolom\u00e9 Louis Maritz, the son of one of his music pupils, started a factory for melting copper and other metals at the Haagsche Trekvaart near today’s Rijswijkseplein. The company flourished and remained in Den Haag until 1905.<\/p>\n

This buiding by the local architect Arend Roodenburg was consecrated in 1844.<\/p>\n

In 1850 there was a major cholera epidemic in the province of Zuid-Holland. This epidemic hit \u2018De Buurt\u2019 hard, because the living conditions were so bad there. In the wake of this disaster, the Jewish community invested in a number of social institutions for ‘De Buurt’. Rabbi Samuel Berenstein (1808-1893), affectionally called ‘Rabbi Beer\u2019, was one of the initiators of the Jewish orphanage as well as the Jewish hospital in Den Haag. He was also involved in the establishment of the ‘Stichting tot Nut van de Isra\u00eblieten’, a major foundation to help Dutch Jews in general and the ‘Vereniging voor de Joodsche Letterkunde en Geschiedenis’, a foundation for the study of Jewish literature and history. Samuel Berenstein hailed from a famous line of rabbis and was supposed to follow his father as ‘opperrabbijn’, senior rabbi, of Amsterdam, but in the capital we was deemed to be too censervative. In 1848 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag and acting opperrabbijn of Utrecht and Zeeland. He became a great scholar, whose \u2018drashot\u2019 (sermons) were famous. T. To recognise his important services to the community he was awarded the title of ‘Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw’, a major Royal distinction<\/p>\n

Few families were so prominently present in Dutch journalism as the Jewish family Belinfante in Den Haag. The Belinfantes were a well known Sephardic family with a long line of journalists. In 1844 they started to work together with the sephardic Vas Dias family, also from a line of journalists. In 1869 the two families founded the ‘Nederlandsch Correspondentiebureau voor Dagbladen’, the Dutch press agency for newspapers. This ‘Correspondentiebureau’ dominated Dutch parliamentary journalism until around 1900. With the establishment in 1934 of the ‘ANP’, the general Dutch press agency, the Correspondentiebureau had to close. Mr. Johan Jacob Belinfante (1874-1947), was the last director of the Correspondentiebureau as well as the first director of the ANP in Den Haag.<\/p>\n

From the start of the 20th century Jewish social life in Den Haag was flourishing. Among many other clubs and associations there was a Jewish soccer club, a gymnastics association and various choires. The growth of these social entities was a reaction to the growing secularisation of the community. The Jews in Den Haag spread out from ‘De Buurt’ and an ever larger group -to various extents- turned their backs to the religion. The economy grew well and there were an increasing number of Jewish companies. The shops with Jewish owners were no longer just in ‘De Buurt’, but everywhere in the center of the city and also in areas further away. Chain stores like De Bijenkorf, HEMA, Maison de Bonneterie and the fashion store ETAM had Jewish owners.<\/p>\n

Therefore the name was changed to \u2018De Ooievaars\u2019, the ‘Storks’ after the city mascot. In 1941 the German occupiers ordered the club to be disbanded. Out of nine teams only four members survived the war. Still it was decided to re-establish the club and to continue as a general (i.e. not exclusively Jewish) soccer club. ‘Hvv De Ooievaars’ was active until 1986.<\/p>\n

Though The Netherlands were neutral during the First World War and life went on much as before, the war was clearly present in the daily lives of burghers. In August, following the German invasion of Belgium, a group of Belgian Jews -as well as a great many others- fled North. Members of the NIG (Nederlands Isra\u00eblitische Gemeente) in Den Haag took care of the first shelter. They founded a special committee for fugitives, the ‘Haagsch Comit\u00e9 voor Joodsche Vluchtelingen’ with Mr. Eduard Kann as president. After the war most of the fugitives went back, but a sizable number availed themselves of the possibility to request Dutch citizenship.<\/p>\n

From the first the company kept growing and soon it needed more space. It was decided to build a completely new factory outside the center of the city. A plot of land was bought bought at was then the Rijswijkseweg.

BARNSTIJN STANDARD MOVIES<\/h3>\n
Loet C. Barnstijn was de son of Hertog Izak Cohen and Eva Barnstijn. He grew up in Enschede and at the age of 24 he moved to Den Haag. He found work in a textile company and worked his way up from clerk to buyer. By starting the ‘Standaard Films’ company and in 1925 the ‘Loet C. Barnstijn Filmproductie’, he laid the foundation for the first Dutch language talking movie. In 1931 Barnstijn produced: ‘Zijn Belooning’ and three years later he was one of the investors in ‘De Jantjes’, which was an outstanding success. In 1932 he produced a movie about Jewish Amsterdam. Fragments from this film were abused by the German occupiers in 1941 by inserting them into the Dutch version of the antisemitic movie ‘De eeuwige Jood’, Loet Barnstijn had a large studio in park Oosterbeek just between Den Haag and Wassenaar, which was called Filmstad.

RABBI ISAAC MAARSEN INSTALLED AS SENIOR RABBI OF THE HAGUE<\/h3>\n
Isaac Maarsen was born in Amsterdam on February 27th 1892. He had already been working for six years as a rabbi in Amsterdam when at the age of 33 he was appointed opperrabbijn of Den Haag. During the Second World War the care for the Jews of Den Haag became his primary task. Even after the German occupiers forced the Jews to leave Den Haag for Amsterdam, Westerbork or for labour camps abroad, he continued to strive for the well being of his community and refused to go into hiding. On 21 April 1943 he was deported together with his entire family and three months later they were all murdered in Sobibor.<\/p>\n

Early in the 17th century their community counted several ‘house synagogues’, but as their membership started to grow, a desire for a larger ‘real’ synagogue developed. They decided to build a prestigeous synagogue on the Princessegracht. This monumental synagogue in Louis XIV style was consecrated in 1726.

Civil Equivalence (Burgelijke gelijkstelling) is the term used for the emancipation for the Jews. The concept of “emancipation” didn’t exist yet. Many Jews in The Netherlands had fled here to escape war and persecution. In the 17th century, in the wake of the Portuguese Jews, many ‘Hoogduitse’ Jews (Jews who had lived for generations in Germany) came here. They had their own language, Yiddish, which was based on old German and had elements of Polish, Russian and Hebrew. Jews could not become members of the Guilds nor be appointed to a public office. At the end of the 18th century, inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment Jewish associations started to push for the emancipation of the Dutch Jews. In 1796 they finally obtained full civil rights like the Protestant burghers.

The economy grew well and there were an increasing number of Jewish companies.
