The release of a new database containing the names of 425,000 people investigated for collaboration with the Nazis during World War II has caused social unrest in the Netherlands. The database has led to concerns and questions about family legacies and has sparked bullying and denunciations on social media. Plans to fully open the archives and provide detailed information about the investigations were halted due to privacy concerns. Despite the complications, there has been incredible interest in accessing the database, with appointment slots at the reading room booked until the end of February.
