The economic rise of the Netherlands was due to a number of factors. Perhaps the most important (at least for us) was the development of a new type of merchant ship – the fluyt – which unlike other vessels of the period was not required to also serve as a warship. The centre of Dutch trade was the North Atlantic which was relatively free of piracy. This meant the fluyt could be designed to carry twice the load of a regular merchantman, and with a smaller crew. This led to an expansion in European trade in the Seventeenth Century, and half of this trade was carried in Dutch ships. Shipbuilding requires a geographical concentration of skilled craftsman, leading to innovation. Also, while the Netherlands is not a large country, its urban population in the mid-Seventeenth Century was larger than England and Scandinavia’s combined, and also larger than Germany’s (due to the Thirty Years War). The eighty year Dutch war of independence against Spain was a Protestant uprising against an authoritarian Catholic monarchy. Spain was a military superpower and – on armed force alone – should have quickly crushed the Dutch. In the end, though, they were unable to match the Dutch economic power and technology.
It was perhaps inevitable that the Dutch shippers involved in a national and religious was against Spain would find common ground with New Christian merchants who were simultaneously persecuted by Spain and also knew its trading secrets. My personal suspicion is that information obtained from Sephardic Jews was critical to the Netherlands’ struggle against Spain and Portugal.
The Netherlands – and especially the city of Amsterdam – are central to the western Sephardi story. The Eighty Year War – the Dutch war of independence against Spain – created a Protestant anti-Catholic anti-Spanish space where New Christians could live as Jews rather than as Catholics as they had been in Iberia, Antwerp and elsewhere. I suppose there was an element of “my enemy’s enemy is my friend”.
We should remember that the Netherlands are not synonymous with Amsterdam. While the Amsterdam Entrepôt was the principle city of Sephardic settlement, at various times smaller populations lived in other cities including: Alkmaar, Groningen, Haarlem, Middelburg, Rotterdam and The Hague. Not all Dutch cities were friendly to Jews.
1608 Samuel Pallache, a Jew, arrived in the Netherlands from Morocco. In 1610 he signed the first pact of alliance between Morocco and a Christian country. This helped protect Dutch shipping from Barbary pirates.

Surnames From the Amsterdam Sephardic burial records. Of course, having a surname on this list is not evidence of Sephardic ancestors. Most people carrying most of these surnames were Catholic rather than Jewish.

Sephardic Jews in The Hague
There were two congregations in The Hague, Beth Jacob (synagogue from 1707) and Honen Dal (synagogue from 1726). These merged in 1743 as Honen Dal (חונן דל, from Pro) and used the synagogue on the Princessegracht dating from 1726. Alone of synagogues in The Hague, Honen Dal survived the Second World War. Torah scrolls and other treasures that had been hidden in Amsterdam were returned. The congregation was dissolved after the Second World War and the building sold to Liberal Judaism.
The cemetery at Scheveningseweg was shared between Ashkenazim and Sephardim. There were around 9,000 burials in the cemetery, of which 3,000 have headstones. The earliest Portuguese burial is Jacob Israel Mello in 1699. He was hazan (cantor) of Beth Jacob. List of Jewish burials in The Hague.

Jewish archives were looted by the Nazis. What survived was later captured by the Red Army and taken to Moscow, and returned in 2003. They are now in the Municipal Archives of The Hague (Haags Gemeentearchief) but I do not know what the collection contains. The Sephardic archives (Nederlands-Portugees Israëlitische gemeente, management number 0130-01, inv.nrs. 1-364) take 7m (23 feet) of shelves. They cover the period (1707) 1708-1941.
Inventory of The Hague archives includes:
Civil register of Death Certificates
0335-01 Civil registrar of the municipality of The Hague (1811-1969)
Article (in Dutch) on the Portuguese synagogue in The Hague.
