TO:
Dr. Jan Pieter Balkenende
Prime Minister of the Netherlands

The Simon Wiesenthal Center’s 400,000 constituent families wish to express its outrage at Gretta Duisenberg’s continued abusive campaign which has besmirched the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.

Mrs. Duisenberg has leveraged the position of her husband, Wim Duisenberg, President of the European Central Bank to obtain a diplomatic passport, which she has used in an inappropriate fashion.

She has every right to back the Palestinians. She has no right to smear the people of Israel and abuse the memory of the victims of Nazism. Her abusive campaign is harming Dutch-Jewish relations and we urge that your government immediately revoke her diplomatic passport. She besmirches the memory of Anne Frank and all those Dutch people who fought and suffered at the hand of the Nazis.

Javier Solana
Secretary General of the European Council

As a the head of the institution who appointed Mr. Duisenberg to his post, and as a leading world figure on behalf of human rights we urge you to demand of Mr. Duisenberg a public repudiation of his wife’s antisemitic attack and statements which besmirch the memory of Anne Frank and all those Dutch people who fought and suffered at the hand of the Nazis.
