Quoting Suzanne D. Rutland in Remembering for the Future: The Holocaust in an Age of Genocide, page 534:

In comparing the record of the Netherlands with its neighbours it is significant to note that, while deportations stopped from France and Belgium in the period from March to July 1943 when the Auschwitz crematoria were being upgraded, deportations continued from the Netherlands, with the victims being taken straight to the death camp of Sobibor.²⁰

Another significant factor in the high death toll was the strength of the [Netherlandish Fascists] and the fact that a significant proportion of [Netherlandish] men joined the SS.²¹ In a recent article, Manfred Gerstenfeld argued that ‘the number of Dutch Nazi collaborators during World War II exceeded the number of those active in the resistance, even if one does not include in the first category the unknown number of those who stole Jewish property.’²²

He has also pointed out that the Netherlands had the highest number of Waffen SS volunteers in Western Europe on a pro rata population basis.²³
