In response, an array of international organizations intervene: three of them, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the League of Natio...

The Faces of Margraten
They Will Remain Forever Young
2022 || Hardcover || Fields of Honor Foundation || Amsterdam University Press

Moreover, the peace and quiet at the only American war cemetery in the...

De kosten om hen in leven te houden waren te hoog voor de samenleving, een stellingname die kracht werd bijgezet met films en andere propaganda gericht tegen personen die de maatschappij niets te bieden hadden. Eufemismen voor ...
