About this item

by Tom Bijvoet (Editor)

'The Dutch in Wartime: Survivors Remember' is a series of books containing the wartime memories of Dutch immigrants to Canada and the USA, who survived Nazi occupation of the Netherlands from 1940 to 1945. Book 1, Invasion, covers the five days in May 1940 when the Dutch Army fought an unequal battle with the vastly more numerous German forces. The authors of the stories in this book remember the invading German troops marching through their streets, catfights between German and Dutch planes above their cities, civilian casualties of war and the devastating bombing of the city of Rotterdam in which 800 people lost their lives and 80,000 lost their homes. Designed and written to be easily accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds, these books contain important stories about the devastating effects of war and occupation on a civilian population.
