On the background of the story of his parents and relatives, who were betrayed by neighbors, International Emmy Award Filmmaker Willy Lindwer investigates the complicity of ordinary Dutch citizens in the deportation of 100,000 Jews to the Nazi death camps during the Second World War. Goodbye Holland also adds a shocking dimension to the resurgence of Anti-Semitism in modern Europe.

In a moving personal exploration of the scale of this betrayal, Lindwer shatters the myth of Dutch tolerance in the past.
