The most historically memorable event from Queen Juliana's wedding is precisely the absence of the Jewish community from participating in the wedding ceremony. The reason was the rise of anti-Semitism in the Netherlands. In the months leading up to the wedding, there were several anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands. Jewish businesses were confiscated, Jewish homes were vandalized and Jews were attacked in the streets. Because the heads of the Jewish community for their part were afraid of what might happen if they attended the wedding, and therefore preferred not to attend, and in fact no Jews appeared as part of the audience. In addition, they did not even receive an official invitation to come and participate in the wedding, which proved to them that the royal house itself did not want them to come. The absence of the Jewish community for its part was a powerful statement of protest against the rising anti-Semitism in Europe. For example, the New York Times newspaper, which covered the wedding event, reported: "The wedding of Princess Juliana of the Netherlands and Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld was magnificent, with the participation of royalty and dignitaries from all over the world. However, there was one conspicuous absence: the Jewish community of the Netherlands. The reason for the absence of the Jewish community was simple: they were not welcome." However, the Jewish communities inside expressed their participation in the historical event through prayer booklet of this type in which the Jews expressed their historical admiration for the Dutch royal house.
