Strangers in a Strange Land
Flight. Risking the loss of all your worldly goods. Leaving hearth and home in headlong panic. A traumatic experience that turns life upside down in a moment of time. That was what happened in August 1914, when the First World War broke out. The German army flattened neutral Belgium like a steamroller. About one to one-and-a-half million Belgians fled to the Netherlands, France and Great Britain. More than half a million of them had to remain in exile until the end of the War. How were the refugees received in the host Countries? Could the children go to school and the adults find work? Was there any opportunity for recreation? In short, how did the refugees live through and survive those four long years of exile? A gripping picture of the greatest exodus in the history of Belgium. 'Strangers in a Strange Land' is drawn from extraordinary documents never seen before, from museums in Belgium and abroad, private archives and libraries; the personal witness of refugees and those who helped them, letters, diary entries. Poignant photographs add painful reality to this tragic exodus of people. A compelling record of its time.geschiedenis

Hamel’s World
In 1653 the VOC ship Sperwer smashed to pieces on the rocks off a remote Korean island. There were thirty-six survivors. The king of Korea decided that the foreigners should spend the rest of their lives in his hermit kingdom. The Dutchmen were provided with food and housing and a certain amount of freedom of movement, but had no choice but to accept their fate.After 13 years eight of them managed to reach Japan in a small, barely seaworthy boat. Hendrik Hamel¹s report on their adventures soon became available to a wider public. For two centuries it was the most important source of information about the mysterious kingdom of Korea. It continues to fascinate as a report of a meeting between two completely different cultures. In 2003, 350 years after the event, the stranding of the Dutchmen is widely commemorated in Korea.The present book includes Jean-Paul Buys' modern English translation of a complete version of Hamel's Journael. Additional chapters by Leonard Blussé, W.J. Boot, Vibeke Roeper and Boudewijn Walraven describe the world familiar to VOC employees and the strange world of the Far East which, much against their will, Hamel and his compatriots came to know so well.geschiedenis

Communistisch verzet in Friesland 1925-1945
'Communistisch verzet in Friesland 1925-1945' beschrijft de geschiedenis van het communistische verzet in Friesland voor en tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, 1925-1945. Het is het verhaal van mensen die tot het diepst van hun ziel getroffen en vernederd werden door de schrijnende armoede en daartegen in opstand kwamen. Hier lag de kiem voor het latere communistische verzet tegen de Duitse overheerser dat een hoge tol eiste. Het brengt voor het eerst een lang onderbelicht verleden tot leven. Indrukwekkende verhalen van moedige mensen. Naast grondig archiefonderzoek bevat 'Communistisch verzet in Friesland' veel persoonlijke herinneringen aan die dramatische periode. Het is een relaas van droom en daad op zoek naar maatschappelijke erkenning.geschiedenis

V=Victorie, Oorlogsaffiches 1940 – 1945
Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog waren affiches een belangrijk propagandamiddel. Borden, muren en aanplakzuilen werden volgehangen met officiële bekendmakingen van de bezettingsautoriteiten en propaganda-affiches vol schreeuwende slagzinnen en pakkende afbeeldingen die de publieke opinie moesten beïnvloeden. Een selectie van de meest opmerkelijke en aansprekende aanplakbiljetten uit de jaren 1940-1945 wordt hier gepresenteerd. Het boek, dat is samengesteld door René Kok en Erik Somers, medewerkers van het Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie, is voorzien van een historische inleiding, foto´s en inhoudelijke begeleidende teksten.Waanders – pap – 119 pag
