French Refugees October 1918 in Holland | 20231031


Silent film — Towards the end of World War I – in the summer 1918 , after the Allies defeated the Germans in the Second Battle of the Marne – large groups of Belgians and French refugees flee in front of the retreating enemy force to the neutral Netherlands.

The Dutch army and Red Cross prepared to receive a possible 100,000 evacuees in the border towns in the south of the Netherlands.

After wandering weeks in the north of France , and next crossing Belgium on foot, the first group of French refugees arrived at the Dutch border October 20, completely exhausted.

At the gate in the electric wire fence at the border to the Netherlands – the so-called ‘Death Wire’ (dutch : Dodendraad ) Dutch soldiers took them over from German escorts.

Some refugees had travelled by tram part of the route crossing Belgium to the belgian border town Molenbeersel.

At the dutch border the refugees were welcomed and ladies from relief committees provide the refugees with food and drinks on the road to Stramproy in the Netherlands.

Within days , thousands of French refugees arrive in the village of Stramproy and are transferred to the city of Weert .

On arrival in the city center of Weert the dutch army registered people and handed out soup and bread.

The weak, the sick, and maternity women were cared for by the Red Cross and taken to an aid post for further care.

The refugees were sheltered the night in buildings like convents and schools in Weert, before being housed elsewhere in the country the following days.

Ocean Climate Motor | 20230916

Leiden University Exam 1979 Böttcher | Ocean Climate Motor | 20230916 | 1-memo•com

Finally , the ocean motor driving our climate is news – cover story by Jaap Tielbeke in the dutch weekly De Groene Amsterdammer #35 (31 aug 2023): ‘The blue machine is malfunctioning’.

With a changing climate, that machine may perhaps stop suddenly, and result in catastrofic snowball effects, I learned ca 50 years ago , but never before noticed in the news.

The ocean motor : with the Gulf Stream bringing warm ocean water at the surface from the Caribbean to Europe – resulting in a mild climate in Europe – continuing further north the now cooled – and heavier saltier – water sinks to the bottom of the ocean , and the stream cold water returns at the bottom to the South.
With higher temperatures at the North Pole and less cooling of the surface water that circulation may stop abrupt.

Already in the 70s we – biology students at the Leiden university in Holland – were told about the danger of a greenhouse effect – the effects over the next 50-100 years : the global rising temperature by 2-5 degrees Celsius / 4-9 Fahrenheit , melting of polar ice caps , rise of the sea level …. and because people in the west part of Holland are living far below the sea level – some 50% of our country vanishing in the North Sea … with the now eastern Dutch town of ‘Amersfoort’ becoming a sea-side town .. “Amersfoort on Sea”.
That’s at least the take-home-message I got late 1970s from professor Frits Böttcher’s fascinating , expert , lectures at the Leiden university “Our dependence on the natural resources” that I took for my master’s study Biochemistry (B4) – a ‘caput’ lecture series in ’77/’78 with the dutch title “Natuurlijke hulpbronnen en onze afhankelijkheid ervan”.
Böttcher was a co-founder of the ‘Club of Rome’ (link http://www.clubofrome.org/Index.php?s=bottcher++ ) . The image shows my exam card and mark by Böttcher in ’79.

A hypothesis in the 70s…the ocean motor may stop…now the motor has slowed down.

Samudaripen – Genocide of the Gypsies – Claire Auzias | 20221210

Samudaripen – Genocide of the Gypsies – Claire Auzias

The French author, historian and libertarian, Claire Auzias researches social movements, women’s history and Roma’s history (1). She has written several works on the Roma’s history in the last 20 years. Samudaripen, the Genocide of the Gypsies, first appeared in 1999/2000 (2,3), and is now followed by the 3rd edition (4) published by L’Esprit Frappeur (Paris).
In her book Samudaripen, Claire Auzias sheds light on this poorly documented genocide in the III Reich , Eastern Europe, and Western Europe. This entirely revised 3rd edition now includes two new chapters — one on Switzerland by Claire Auzias, and one on The Netherlands by Erik Van Den Muijzenberg. Claire Auzias , in her foreword (5) : “…the patient discovery of the identity of an anonymous icon of the deportation, in the guise of a Dutch Sinti girl, made the chapter on the Netherlands obligatory, at least for those of the French gypsies who do not read foreign languages.”

Old Fortress Corfu Prison | 20221012


The Old Fortress of Corfu , Greece – here filmed 29 September 2022 – was used at the end of World War II by the Nazis to imprison the Jews of Corfu prior to their deportation from the island (Ref 1). Greek resistance fighter Manolis Glézos (Sep 1922 – Mar 2020) – who tore down the swastika from the Acropolis in May 1941 – was confined in a cellar there (Ref 2, 3). Last month, 28 September 2022, holocaust survivor Mr Simon Gronowski – escapee from the 20th prisoners’ train convoy to Auschwitz (Ref 4) – spoke in the European Parliament at the Centennial celebration of the birth of Manolis Glézos, on the resistance against fascism, nazism, imperialism and the daily fight for democracy (Ref 5, 6, 7) . Mr Simon Gronowski (born 12 oktober 1931 in Brussels) is celebrating today his 91th birthday … congrats … La vie est belle !
