Amsterdam asked to rename hall honoring Nazi sympathizer – Piet Mijksenaar, former top city official, gave ‘enthusiastic help with the deportation of Jews,’ watchdog says | The Times of Israel

AMSTERDAM — In a rare move, a Dutch watchdog on anti-Semitism called on the City of Amsterdam to rename a municipal hall bearing the name of a former official who helped deport Jews to their deaths.
The Center for Information and Documentation on Israel, or CIDI, on Saturday urged the city government of the Dutch capital to scrap the honor it conferred more than 30 years ago to Piet Mijksenaar, a late top official with the city.
