Israeli postal authorities are honoring The Netherlands by stamping all incoming and outgoing mail with a special postmark commemorating the 33rd anniversary of a general strike in Amsterdam protesting the Nazis’ deportation of Dutch Jews. The Education Ministry also issued a special booklet on the strike. Another act of recognition of Dutch friendship has been the registration of Holland in the Jewish National Fund’s Golden Book for which IL 30,000 has already been collected in Israel.
