THERE WERE MANY GROEN'S IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD WHERE I GREW UP (IN SCHEVENINGEN THE NETHERLANDS) FOR AS FAR AS I KNOW NONE OF THEM WERE JEWISH OR CATHOLIC BUT DUTCH REFORMED. IN THE PHONE BOOK IN THE 80'S IN THE HAGUE (SCHEVENINGEN IS PART OF THIS CITY) THERE WERE OVER 1000 LISTINGS WITH THIS NAME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ONE OF MY RELATIVES DID A STUDY AND TRACED BACK MY FAMILY HEITAGE TO AT LEAST THE 1600'S.
I HAVE HEARD OF JEWISH FISH TRADERS IN IJMUIDEN BEFORE THE WAR BUT LIKELY MANY OF THEM GOT KILLED BY THE NAZI'S. ODD THING IS THAT MANY (IF NOT ALL) OF MY FAMILY WAS UNTIL QUITE RECENTLY INVOLVED IN THE FISH TRADE.
