Real nationality of Ans van Dijk

Both parents of Ans van Dijk were Jewish then her nationality is obviously Jewish. Are there any doubts? Apailo (talk) 16:42, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

:"Jewish" is not a nationality. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:05, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

::Then what exactly is "Jewish"? Apailo (talk) 11:26, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

:::In this context "Jewish" is an ethnicity. Jayjg (talk) 13:40, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Not neutral, unattributed statement in last paragraph

"By the end of the 20th century, commentators and historians began to reflect on the fact that the only woman to be executed for crimes committed during the German occupation was a Jewish lesbian."

Which commentators and historians? Every one knows the Dutch had a horrific record during the Holocaust and many more men and women should have been tried for crimes against humanity, but it is impossible to extrapolate from a sample of one. It would be like claiming that it was ironic that the only US soldier executed for cowardice was of Polish descent. MyIP19216811 (talk) 11:32, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:I agree this needs to come out, because the contention that she was executed in part because she was Jewish and a lesbian is not supported by the citations given. I have left in that " She was the only woman to be executed in the Netherlands for crimes committed during the German occupation." — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
