Israeli president attends Holocaust museum opening ceremony, protests surrounding area. The Netherlands was occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II, and it is estimated that over 100,000 Jews were sent to concentration camps and murdered there.
People gathered holding flags and placards that read things like ``Stop Genocide.'' One protester said: "It's strange that the president of Israel, who has just committed war crimes, would come to the inauguration of this important museum. It's an insult to both the Jews who died there."
