Remembering Together
Introducing our new podcast series: Remembering Together.
It’s almost 80 years since the Netherlands was liberated, following 5 years of occupation. During that time the population was brutally suppressed.
Jews and other groups were deported and murdered as war raged through Europe.
In this podcast series - brought to you by the British Embassy in the Hague - we look at the impact of occupation and the holocaust on the Netherlands, the process of liberating the Netherlands, and the continued importance today of remembering what happened in the Netherlands.
This podcast is produced by Andy Clark of StudioLijn 14.

Invictus Voices: Why the games matter?
After a two year delay, the Invictus Games have finally come to The Hague! From 16 – 22 April, over 500 competitors from 20 nations will be competing across 9 adaptive sports.
The word ‘invictus’ means ‘unconquered’. It embodies the fighting spirit of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and personifies what these tenacious men and women can achieve post-injury.
In the second episode of Invictus Voices, Deputy Ambassador Lucy Ferguson, speaks to Boy Coolen, Dutch Ministry of Defence Psychologist, and Helen Helliwell, Director of Armed Forces People Policy at the UK Ministry of Defence Helen, about how the power of sport can help wounded servicemen and women in their recovery – physically, psychologically and socially.
