The capital of this southern region of The Netherlands is also known as the City of the Four Freedoms, a tribute to the descendant of a native son, Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is home to one active synagogue and two Jewish cemeteries. Pictured below is the entrance to the Ashkenazi cemetery; there is also a Sephardic cemetery, which was in use from the 16th century, when this region of Holland welcomed Jews expelled from Portugal. Middelburg is also home to the Etty Hillesum house, a moving tribute dedicated to the young woman who -- just like Anne Frank -- documented her harrowing Holocaust experiences in voluminous diaries. A photo in the Photos section of this discussion depicts the wall chronicling the Jewish history of the city.
