Willem Sandberg – Portrait of an Artist – Chapter 6
Willem Sandberg – Portrait of an Artist – Chapter 6 ARTIST ORGANISATION AND RESISTANCE It wasn’t until 1932 that I stuck my head in the life of the Dutch artists organisation. I received a request at that time to become a member of VANK, the Vereiniging voor Ambachts- en Nijverheidskunst – the Association for Trade and Industry Art. I had never heard of the VANK, but I became a member. At a certain moment, I was even an active member and held administrative offices, including a seat in the Committee for non- permanent exhibitions in the Stedelijk Museum – for VANK members and others – and in the Exhibition Committee for the Dutch department at the World Exhibition in Paris. The Chairman of the VANK was Jean-François van Royen, a master typographer and, as we always said, in his spare time secretary-general of the PTT. He was owner of the Cunera Press and that was his real work. This man had, between the two great wars, a positive influence on the whole artist community, the life of the artist association and the position of the artist. First, he had a lot of work to award via the Postal services: for designing postcards or stamps, fitting out post-offices, designing letter boxes and so on. But he extended his influence far beyond this. He had, together with his friend , the architect De Bie Leuvelink Tjeenk, a great influence on the artist association life in this country. Tjeenk was, at the time that I knew him, Chairman of the BNA, the Bond voor Nederlandse Architecten [Association for Dutch Architects]. -

Frieda Belinfante, Describing Willem Arondeus
Willem Arondeus “He was the great hero who was most willing to give his life for the cause.” -Frieda Belinfante, describing Willem Arondeus. Willem Arondeus was born in 1894 in Amsterdam. At age 17, his relationship with his family broke down over the reveal of his homosexuality, and he left home never to maintain regular contact again. Once he was on his own, he worked as a painter, befriending other artists and forming a strong social network. He also turned to writing when painting did not help him to make ends meet. Same-sex relationships had been legal in the Netherlands for over 100 years, and Willem was very open about his sexuality. However, when Nazis invaded the Netherlands in 1940, they quickly oversaw the re-criminalization of homosexuality. Willem was one of the first to join the Dutch resistance. Willem published anti-Nazi pamphlets and recruited others to join the resistance, including his friend Frieda Belinfante. One of the resistance’s major activities was forging identity papers for Jews and others being hunted by the Nazis, which capitalized on Willem’s skills as an artist. Eventually, the Nazis began to catch on to the false documents and began to compare them to public records, revealing Jews who were in hiding. The resistance came up with a plan. On the night of March 27, 1943, dressed as a German Army captain, Willem marched into the Public Records Office with a dozen members of the Resistance. They drugged the guards, placed explosives, and made history. By destroying hundreds of records they saved the lives of those whose identity the Gestapo could no longer track. -
Personal Histories 2015.Indd
PERSONAL HISTORIES OF SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST Visitors to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Permanent Exhibition receive identification cards chronicling the experiences of men, women, and children who lived in Europe during the Holocaust. These cards are designed to help personalize the historical events of the time. The accompanying personal histories are a sample of the Museum’s collection and offer a glimpse into the ways the Holocaust affected individuals. Each identification card has four sections: The first provides a biographical sketch of the person. The second describes the individual’s experiences from 1933 to 1938, while the third describes events during the war years. The final section describes the fate of the individual and explains the circumstances—to the extent that they are known—in which the individual either died or survived. In addition to revealing details of the history of the Holocaust, the personal accounts reinforce the reality that no two people experienced the events in exactly the same way. ushmm.org PERSONAL HISTORY Bertha Adler June 20, 1928 Selo-Solotvina, Czechoslovakia Bertha was the second of three daughters born to Yiddish-speaking Jewish parents in a village in Czechoslovakia’s easternmost province. Soon after Bertha was born, her parents moved the family to Liège, an industrial, largely Catholic city in Belgium that had many immigrants from Eastern Europe. 1933–39: Bertha’s parents sent her to a local elementary school, where most of her friends were Catholic. At school, Bertha spoke French. At home, she spoke Yiddish. Sometimes her parents spoke Hungarian to each other, a language they had learned while growing up. -
Something Inside So Strong” Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert Rev
“Something Inside So Strong” Unitarian Universalist Church of the Desert Rev. Suzanne M. Marsh October 11, 2015 Today is the 27th Annual National Coming Out Day. The holiday was founded in 1988 to commemorate what was then the largest demonstration ever for Lesbian and Gay rights. The march was on Sunday, October 11, 1987 in Washington DC. Nancy and I were there, as were between 500,000-1 million other folks, depending on whose estimate you believe. That day was a marker, a milestone in the relationship between the heterosexual public and gay and lesbian people. So many people turned out that day, many risking exposure for the first time, facing the possible loss of a job, a home, and custody of their children or the love of their families. Nancy and I debated whether to go or not, but in the end, knew that it was only in our collective coming out, in whatever way we could, that we would be a part of the liberation of the vast majority of the gay and lesbian people in the country who lived in each day in fear. That day was pivotal, largely because so many of us just showed up, and it began the process of changing the minds of many people who held damaging and inaccurate ideas about gay and lesbian folks. It was powerful for many to see who “those people were” their sons and daughters, moms and dads, cousins and even our grandmas and grandpas. Seeing these regular people served to challenge their myths and shatter their stereotypes. -
BA Maart 2020
samenAmsterdamsche Coöperatieve Woningvereeniging ‘Samenwerking’ B.A. Maart 2020 BEKENDE SAMENWERKERS UIT HET VERLEDEN Wil Sandberg EEN EEUWIGE KWAJONGEN (DEEL 2) Leo Pauw In de huizen van Samenwerking wonen sinds jaar en dag meer of minder bekende Nederlanders. Zo nu en dan staan we stil bij enkele van die ‘bekende Samenwerkers’ uit het verleden. In het vorige nummer van SAMEN beschreven we de jonge jaren van Wil Sandberg (1897-1984), grafisch ont- werper, verzetsman maar toch vooral bekend als de roem- ruchte directeur van het Stedelijk Museum. Sandberg woonde van 1923 tot 1926 in de Daniël de Langestraat, op nummer 14, tweehoog. In dit tweede en laatste deel gaan we verder waar 08 we waren gebleven: de Tweede Wereldoorlog. VERZET Sandberg is 43 jaar als de Tweede Wereldoorlog uitbreekt. Meer dan welke gebeurtenissen in zijn leven ook zullen de oorlogs- ervaringen het werkelijke fundament voor Sandbergs wezen vormen. Maar het begint al eerder. Als in 1939 de opdracht voor het Nederlandse paviljoen op de wereldtentoonstelling in New York aan de behoudende architect Slothouwer wordt toegekend (die overigens voor ACW Samenwerking het blok Frans van Mie- risstraat-Banstraat-Nicolaas Maesstraat ontwierp, waar auteur dezes met veel plezier woont, maar dit terzijde), organiseert Sandberg met succes een boycot onder alle modernistische Nederlandse kunstenaars. Uit de contacten die op deze manier ontstaan, zal na de Duitse inval van mei 1940 het kunstenaars- verzet groeien. Begin 1942 wordt Sandberg verantwoordelijk voor de distributie van geld aan kunstenaars die weigeren lid te worden van de door de Duitsers ingestelde Kultuurkamer. Hij betrekt daar kunstenaars uit verschillende disciplines bij: Gerrit van der Veen voor de beeldhouwers, Willem Arondéus voor de schilders, Frieda Belinfante voor de musici, Koen Limperg voor de architecten, Wim Brusse voor de kunstnijverheid en Han Hoekstra en Anton Coolen voor de schrijvers.
