The Jews and Judaism in postwar Amsterdam manuscript was written by Dr. Malcolm D. Rivkin in 1954 while on a Fullbright Scholarship in the Netherlands. The report studies the Jewish community in Amsterdam in the postwar period and pays particular attention to the history of the Jewish community in Amsterdam, attitudes of the Dutch non-Jewish population toward the Jewish population, and includes questionnaires filled out by over 125 Holocaust survivors. The manuscript titled"Jews and Judaism in postwar Amsterda" is comprised of the original typescript of the manuscript and a photocopy. The report studies the Jewish community in Amsterdam in the postwar period and pays particular attention to the history of the Jewish community in Amsterdam, attitudes of the Dutch non-Jewish population toward the Jewish population, the kind and degree of Jewish “consciousness” the survivors of the Holocaust manifest, and activities of Jewish institutions. Included as an appendix to the report is a questionnaire the author sent to 600 Amsterdam Jews between the ages of 18 and 30. 129 of these questionnaires were returned answered, with the majority of the questions focusing on antisemitism and Jewish identity. 

The Jews and Judaism in postwar Amsterdam manuscript is arranged as a single series.
