About eight to ten times more non Jews died in that war than Jews did. So why do we insist on making it all about them? Answer that.
Total deaths attributed to WW2 in The Netherlands was 2.36% of the population.
Three quarters of the Dutch Jewish population died in WW2.
Any other questions?
Mainly because the Dutch were extra anxious to get rid of their Jews and not too anxious to fight the Germans.
That's what you're going with? Final answer?
Sure, why not? Got to be some reason why Dutch Jews were eliminated at a much higher percentage than they were in Belgium and France, or anywhere else in Europe for that matter.
See, here where speculation and supposition gets you in trouble. The primary cause of the high rate of capture was the near perfect population records of the Dutch civil service, and the failure of the various Dutch county authorities to destroy those records before they could fall in German hands. The Netherlands was overrun in a matter of days, and the Germans had learned from their earlier forays into Poland and other countries to control the civil service immediately.
Unlike Denmark, where 90% of the Jews survived mostly by fleeing in a flotilla of little gentile fishing boats across the Baltic to Sweden, The Netherlands was immediately occupied and governed by Germany, and no escape for the Jews across the North Sea was practical. The loss of the vast majority of Jews, including of course, Anne Frank, remains a black mark on the nation.
Even French Jews had a path to escape through the mountains to Switzerland or Spain. The % of jews lost in the war was generally correlated to the ability to leave and the level of organization and documentation of the individual country.
Like I said, the Dutch surrendered early and easily and their civil authorities were all too willing to cooperate with their German cousins.
