  • On May 5, 1945, the Netherlands Were Declared Liberated
    On May 5, 1945, the Netherlands were declared liberated. The last Germans left Schiermonnikoog on June 11, 1945. The last part of the Netherlands was now also free. Detail: the island had a German owner! It is a given that the Dutch experienced the Second World War very differently. On the Wadden Islands it already differed from the population on the mainland. But on Schiermonnikoog the residents had a special war history. The Wadden Islands were (are) surrounded by the sea, isolated from the mainland and from each other. Travelling to the islands in World War II without German permission was almost impossible. The occupation force was relatively large, on Schiermonnikoog; there was about one German soldier per inhabitant. The Wadden Islands, including Schiermonnikoog, were part of the Atlantic Wall. The line of defense that ran from the Spanish border to the north side of Norway. In more ways than one, Schier, as it is popularly called, was special. German influences had been there since 1893. In that year the island was bought by the German count Berthold Hartwig Arthur von Bernstorff-Wehningen for 200,000 guilders. (former Dutch currency, before the Euro was introduced; 200,000 guilders is now about 3 million Euro) He had forests planted for wood production. Quite a lot of Germans already lived on the island. The occupiers built a lot on the island. On the north side even came a whole village, "Schleidorp" it was called. Here were radar installations, anti-aircraft guns, camouflaged barracks and bunkers. A railway track was even constructed to make transportation of building materials easier.

  • Twente En De Tweede Wereldoorlog
    Twente en de Tweede Wereldoorlog Anneke Koers 1 Woord vooraf U leest verhalen uit ver vervlogen tijden. U hoort de stem van de droom die u vertelt over het verleden. Vroeger gebeurde niets zomaar, alle activiteiten hadden een reden. Mensen geloofden dat onwetendheid de gehoorzaamheid van vrouwen en armen garandeert. De geschiedenis is lang en ze begint ver voor mijn geboorte. Er is geduld voor nodig om haar te vertellen, en meer nog om ernaar te luisteren. Als ik niet naar mijn tantes was gegaan om de duistere hoeken van mijn verleden te belichten, en al die foto’s die in mijn huis verzameld zijn er niet waren geweest, hoe had ik dan dit verhaal kunnen vertellen? Ik zou het met de verbeelding hebben moeten smeden, met als enig materiaal de vage lijnen van vele andere levens en enkele denkbeeldige herinneringen. Het geheugen is fictie. We kiezen er het stralendste en duisterste uit, negeren datgene waarvoor we ons schamen, en borduren zo het brede tapijt van ons leven. Middels de fotografie en het geschreven woord probeer ik de vluchtige aard van het bestaan te snel af te zijn, de momenten te vangen voordat ze vervagen, de verwarring rond het verleden op te helderen. Elk ogenblik verdwijnt in een zucht en wordt direct verleden tijd, de realiteit is kortstondig en vertrekt, louter nostalgie. Met de foto’s en de pagina’s houd ik de herinneringen levend; zij zijn mijn greep op een vergankelijke waarheid, die niettemin een waarheid is. Zij bewijzen dat de gebeurtenissen hebben plaatsgevonden en dat de personages mijn levenspad hebben gekruist.

In 2012, the new series of official obligatory high school history textbooks, in preparation since 2002 and funded by the United States Commander’s Emergency Response Program (the United States military’s foreign aid arm), did not cover post-1973 history, thus stopping their coverage with the ouster of King Mohammad Zahir Shah in 1973 by Mohammed Daoud Khan and omitting the following period of political instability, including the Soviet occupation (1979–1989), the mujaheddin (Muslims who struggle in the path of God) and the civil war (1989–1996), the Taliban (1996–2001), and the United States military presence (2001–2012). In order to promote a single national identity, the depoliticization and deethnification textbooks were deemed necessary.
