The article presents information about the Dutch public notaries' role in the resale of dispossessed Jewish property during the German occupation of the Netherlands. It is noted that this resale could only be performed with the assistance of notaries, and that although cooperation was voluntary, many Dutch notaries did cooperate. Descriptions are given of post-war decisions made concerning the exculpation of the notaries by the Dutch minister of justice. Comments are included regarding the conflict this arrangement caused between Dutch politicians and legislators.
