What was life like on an island where the war sometimes seemed far away, yet the threat always remained palpable? And why did liberation come here only weeks after May 5?
Ameland is also discussed, with stories about the care of children and the unique history of holiday home De Terrorist, a place that emerged from loss but grew into a house of memory and hope.
An intense, personal portrait of the war years on the islands and the long road to freedom.
