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
Irene Butter
Reni’s Reis
Zelden of nooit is een indringender verhaal geschreven over de zwerftocht van een kind door de oorlog. Irene Butter was zes jaar toen ze met haar familie vluchtte uit Berlijn en in Amsterdam terechtkwam. Irene werkte als jong meisje in de crèche van de Hollandsche Schouwburg, waar de opgepakte joden van Amsterdam werden verzameld. Ze werd met haar familie naar Westerbork gedeporteerd en uiteindelijk doorgestuurd naar Bergen-Belsen. Met onvoorstelbare moed en kracht ging ze de donkerste tijd in: de kampbarakken, de honger, de dood om haar heen. Reni was veertien toen ze in januari 1945 werd uitgeruild tegen Duitse gevangenen. Vermagerd en vernederd tot op het bot, maar ondanks alles hoopvol en humaan. Toen Irene Butter (1930) kerstmis 1945 aankwam in New York, werd haar geadviseerd over de oorlog te zwijgen en alleen maar aan de toekomst te denken. Veertig jaar lang hield ze haar mond, maar uiteindelijk besloot ze haar verhaal te vertellen. In Reni?s reis kruipt Irene Butter in aangrijpende en ontroerende scènes in de huid van het kind dat ze ooit was. De lezer leeft intens door de nooit eerder vertelde details en de enorme zeggingskracht van haar verhaal.geschiedenis
