We are interested in history, the Netherlands and abroad.
Monuments, WW2, castles, churches, historic buildings and more architecture.
We sometimes also post on nature.

Onderzoekers van Kamp #Amersfoort hebben een 82-jarige Joodse man gevonden die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog in het kamp in gevangenschap werd geboren. Ruim tachtig jaar ging men ervan uit dat de baby de oorlog niet overleefd had.

Enige baby geboren in Kamp Amersfoort heeft oorlog overleefd
