Arthur Seyss-Inquart was an Austrian Nazi politician who served as Reichskommissar of the occupied Netherlands during World War II. He played a key role in the implementation of the Holocaust in the Netherlands, overseeing the deportation and murder of over 100,000 Dutch Jews. Seyss-Inquart's administration implemented discriminatory laws, established Jewish councils, and created transit camps like Westerbork, facilitating the systematic transport of Jews to extermination camps. He was later convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials and executed in 1946.
