9780900631924 - The Paper Trail: World War II in Holland and its Colonies as Seen through Mail and Documents von Kees Adema & Jeffrey Groeneveld (1 Ergebnisse)

Soft cover. Zustand: New. XXXII, 699 pages : illus. ; 29 cm. The Paper Trail tells the story of the postal history of Holland and its colonies during World War 2 in a fresh and compelling way. The book weaves together the evidence of mail and other documents letters, cards, diaries, cards, photographs, personal memorabilia and the like into a distinctive narrative. The focus is on the lives and experiences of ordinary people, individually and collectively, and the impact upon them of occupation, unprovoked and accidental bombing, famine (at times), and in many cases persecution, forcible removal and, at worst, extermination in the concentration camps. A myriad of correspondence has been unearthed from family records and, through this book, brought to a wider public for the first time.
